Some homes feel like they’re waiting for their season—in the best way. 257 Meeler Circle is already effortless to live in right now—~2,167 sf of true one-level living with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, plus an open main living area and a screened porch—and it’s also the kind of place that’s about to bloom as spring wakes up the yard. This one sits on an exterior lot, which means you get a little more breathing room at the edges—more sky, more quiet, more of that ‘I can actually exhale back here’ sense once everything greens up. Right now the landscape is in its winter posture, but the bones are there: a backyard that’s been loved, tended, and set up to show off when the seasons shift. These plantings were thoughtfully planned and installed with the help of a neighbor known in the community for their landscaping eye—so while it’s winter-quiet right now, the spring show is already baked in. Inside, the rooms read bright and grounded, with warm wood floors through the main living areas and a layout that gives you connection without turning everything into one big echo. The living room opens wide with plenty of space to stretch out, and the kitchen sits at the center of it all—island seating, generous cabinetry, and an easy flow for regular Tuesday nights and the occasional ‘everyone’s coming over’ weekend. A flex room with solid doors adds real privacy when you need it, and the split-bedroom layout keeps the primary suite set apart—complete with a large bath featuring two separate vanities and a walk-in closet. Plus a 2-car attached garage and a mudroom-style entry that keeps daily life contained. Secondary bedrooms offer flexibility for guests, hobbies, or the home office that doesn’t have to live on your kitchen table. And then there’s the screened porch—the kind of indulgence you’ll use more than you think. Coffee out there. A book out there. That first warm evening when the backyard starts to wake up and the whole place comes through like it’s opening its windows again. Lake Meeler is one of those neighborhoods with real rhythm: a community lake and pavilion, walks that turn into chats, and neighbors who tend to know your name—including plenty of long-time residents and retirees who chose this pocket for a reason. It’s friendly without being intrusive, and there’s a steady, settled feel to the streets. Location-wise, it’s a strong best-of-both setup: positioned for straightforward access to Athens while also making sense for anyone commuting, traveling, or regularly moving between ATH + ATL. You’re not choosing between town life and convenience—you’re landing in a spot that supports both. Option to include a full home warranty (with $100 service call) for extra peace of mind. Well-kept and thoughtfully maintained, offering a soft landing in a home that’s been cared for with intention.
