Set on a gentle rise in Boulder Springs, 1171 Spring Lake Dr is one of those homes that just feels right from the moment you pull up. It offers something that's getting harder to find... real space to spread out, gather, and settle into everyday life comfortably. A classic Southern front porch sets the tone, leading into a bright, easy interior with warm hardwood floors and natural light throughout. Just off the entry, you have a flexible office or sitting room on one side and a dining room on the other that connects naturally to the kitchen: great for hosting, but just as functional for daily living. The kitchen is open and well thought out, with a layout that makes cooking feel effortless and keeps everyone connected. Travertine backsplash and Tuscan-style cabinetry bring warmth and character, and it all flows seamlessly into a striking double-height living room. Built-ins frame the fireplace, anchoring the space and creating a comfortable, inviting spot that naturally becomes the heart of the home. The main level primary suite is tucked into a quiet corner, with windows on two sides that bring in soft, natural light. The bathroom is set up for real life: soaking tub, separate shower, and individual vanities that make mornings run smoothly. Also on the main floor, a second bedroom with its own full bath offers great flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, along with a laundry room and powder room nearby. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms, one with its own ensuite bath and two that share a hall bath. There's also an impressive amount of accessible attic storage, which is always a welcome bonus and actually usable. Out back, the fully fenced yard feels private and peaceful, backing up to over 100 acres of conservation land. It's the kind of setting where you can enjoy the quiet and the view without wondering what's going in behind you. Boulder Springs is known for its strong sense of community and well-rounded amenities, including two pools, tennis courts, a clubhouse, playground, pond, and miles of walking trails. All of this just minutes from Oconee County schools, Butler's Crossing, and an easy drive into Athens.
