277 Carrington Dr, Athens, GA 30605

This cozy abode is located in one of Athens' favorite East side neighborhoods, Carrington Plantation. Bright and welcoming, it features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings and a semi-private, fenced yard with bountiful trees. The lot is over 2/3 of an acre and is adjacent to a stream buffer (dedicated greenspace) which allows for privacy to the rear and side of the house. The neighborhood has sidewalks throughout and is adjacent to Southeast Clarke Park. It is convenient to East Athens dining and shopping such as Kroger, Aldi and Publix (3 miles) as well as Downtown Athens and the University of Georgia Campus (6 miles). The rocking chair front porch opens into a foyer, with the living room directly ahead and the formal dining room to your right. The living room features vaulted ceilings and a wood stove, and is open to the kitchen, which has a breakfast nook overlooking the back deck as well as bar seating. Just past the kitchen you will find the primary bedroom, featuring a tray ceiling, a large ensuite bathroom with double vanity, soaking tub and shower as well as a walk-in-closet. On the opposite side of the house there are two additional bedrooms and a shared hallway bathroom. The 2-car built-in garage is oversized (approx. 650 sf) allowing for a very large bonus room above, which could be utilized as a 4th bedroom, craft room, office, storage or whatever your heart desires. The garage entrance opens into the laundry room and pantry, adjacent to the kitchen. One of the most standout features of this home is the massive screened porch which extends almost the full length of the back of the house and overlooks a private, wooded backyard. There is space for storage under the porch and a walk-in crawl space that can be used for additional storage and allows easy access to mechanical components of the house.
