About this home

A peaceful drive through the rolling hills and Piney Woods of Athens leads to this inviting brick and stone home, beyond a gated entrance and set on .57 acres with no HOA. A sense of calm upon arrival, with a private country setting feels removed from the everyday life, while the conveniences of Athens are comfortably close. Interior updates elevate the home while bringing ease to the details of homeownership. 2026 interior paint, carpet, stainless steel appliances, and two water heaters are ia few recent mprovements you'll appreciate well beyond the first impression. The floor plan offers something increasingly hard to find-two primary suites on separate levels and guest bedrooms with space that feels genuinely livable. The main-level primary is a comfortable, spacious retreat, while the second-floor suite feels like a private residence of its own, with room to create a sitting area or second living room. The upstairs primary bath continues that sense of space, with a spa tub, separate shower, and generous space that allow the room to feel open rather than crowded. A second-floor 4.5-by-13-foot walk-in closet offers possibilities beyond storage, with dimensions that could accommodate a home office or craft room. It's a floor plan that works equally well for extra privacy, extended stays, or simply having a second living space.Butcher block countertops bring warmth and character to the kitchen, while the screened-in porch looks out over the wide-open East Texas country landscape. The views are a unique feature of this property. A covered front porch adds another place to enjoy the quieter pace of the setting.Recently updated fencing and huge acreage leaves room for a future workshop, garden, or additional outdoor living. Athens is known as the Gateway to East Texas Lake Country,home to Lake Athens and within easy reach of Cedar Creek Lake, boating, fishing, and days on the water are more reasons to call this part of East Texas home.
