102 Riverbottom Circle , Athens, GA 30606(Clarke County)

102 Riverbottom Circle is a beautiful, traditional home in the sought after Athens neighborhood of Riverbottom. Situated on Athens' desirable west side, this home is a welcoming destination adjacent to the Middle Oconee River. The location is convenient to both downtown and all the shopping one would need, yet is securely removed from the traffic, noise and hustle due to the established, wooded residential area that surrounds it. Approaching the home, one is met by a two story, traditional, manor style structure that is four sides brick with ample windows and stately proportions. Entering the front door, one is greeted by the tall foyer's staircase, light from the atrium window and warm wood floors. The entryway is framed to the left by a formal dining room that is bathed in light from two floor to ceiling windows. To the right is a formal living room (or office if one wishes) that also is lit by matching windows. Beyond the staircase, one is drawn in by a welcoming family room centered around a gas fireplace. To the left, a door leads to the deck, wooded back yard and further back, the Middle Oconee River. To the right, another door leads to a screened sunroom-perfect for warm spring and fall days and summer evenings. (Your plants will love it, too!) The family room connects to the kitchen via a bay windowed breakfast nook that overlooks the back yard. The kitchen has all new stainless appliances, a well designed work area, stainless sink and has hand laid tile counters. Beyond the kitchen is a walk in pantry, full mudroom/laundry room with utility sink, plus access to the two car garage. The other side of the family room connects to a half bath and, across from that, the owner's suite. That spacious owner's suite features floor to ceiling windows, a vaulted ceiling and large full bath with whirlpool tub, walk in shower, long, double sink vanity and walk in closet. The main floor features site finished hardwoods except for the bed and bath; they are (new) carpet and tile. Up the staircase, one finds three roomy bedrooms (all with new carpet) and a hall closet large enough to be used either as a 'walk in' or as a laundry room (it is plumbed). Two bedrooms share a large full bath and the third bedroom has an attached full bath. All rooms have large closets, plus each bath has storage for linens. The two car garage features ample room for full sized cars or SUVs plus holds a side entry door with room for tool storage. (On the wall are controls for the lawn sprinkler system.) The garage door uses a new (and very quiet) motor. The grounds are landscaped with ornamental and native flowers facing the street and to each side. In back, the lawn transitions to an old growth forest of hardwoods. Deer and owls are your only neighbors between the home and the river. Protecting the home is a new roof (2024) while comfort is provided by two new HVAC systems; a heat pump (with supplemental heat strips) is used upstairs and a gas furnace/AC system is used downstairs. Both are controlled by new Ecobee Smart Thermostats, and both systems are protected by a 10 year parts and labor warranty. All appliance and equipment paperwork is present. Also included is the electric stairlift, useful for both the mobility challenged and moving heavy or cumbersome objects up and down. This home and all the others in Riverbottom are protected by covenants; none of the lots here will be subdivided or saddled with non conforming construction. Compare this home to others in the area and note the lot size. Where others are on an acre or less, this one sits on approximately four and is protected from the rear by the river. all in all, a haven for anyone seeking a respite from a hectic world.
