Tucked away on a quiet side street in the heart of desirable Cedar Creek, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath contemporary-style home offers both privacy and convenience, just minutes from all that Athens has to offer. Cedar Creek is a well-established pool community that has long been home to generations of UGA professors and their families. The gallery-style foyer leads to the spacious eat-in kitchen on one end, the main-floor bedrooms and baths on the other, and the sunken living room at the center of the home. The owner's suite, along with two additional bedrooms and a shared hall bath, are located on the main level. A dining/keeping room adjoins the kitchen with direct access to the private backyard and gardens, while a large screened porch sits just below the living room, perfect for year-round relaxation. The side-entry two-car garage offers soaring cathedral ceilings, interior access from the kitchen, which has a convenient side door for daily use. Downstairs, the finished basement provides a generous second living area with a gas-log fireplace, plus an oversized bonus room that has long served as a craft space. With a wet wall, stubbed sink line, and capped sewer connection, this area offers clear potential for a kitchenette or full apartment setup. A large bedroom, full bath, exterior access, and ample storage make the lower level ideal for extended family, guests, or even short-term rental use. Recent updates include a newer 30-year architectural shingle roof, an upgraded water heater, and a high-end American Standard 3-zone HVAC system with advanced filtration. Set on an elevated lot with mature landscaping and surrounded by homes of similar character, this property is both move-in ready and a strong candidate for future customization. The central green space and wooded island further enhance the sense of community within this charming section of Cedar Creek. Easy to show and ready for its next chapter!
