Perched on a private hilltop just minutes from OhioHealth O'Bleness Hospital and less than three miles from Athens, this exceptional brick residence offers a rare blend of privacy, scale, and timeless quality. Thoughtfully maintained with clear pride of ownership, this 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home is set on five acres of rustic pine forest and captures both elegance and comfort in a truly remarkable setting. The entry welcomes you into a light filled living room with soaring cathedral ceilings, hardwood flooring throughout the main level, and a beautiful pellet stove that adds warmth and character to the home's refined atmosphere. One of the standout features is a secondary private suite complete with its own bedroom, den, and private bath, making it ideal for guests, extended family, or multigenerational living. The owner's suite serves as a private retreat, featuring a tray ceiling, blond oak casement windows, and direct access to an expansive deck overlooking the wooded backdrop, perfect for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Designed for those who love to cook and gather, the kitchen offers granite countertops, double ovens, generous cabinetry, and abundant workspace. The finished walkout basement continues to impress with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and an expansive family room, providing exceptional flexibility for entertaining, guests, or additional living space. Less than three minutes from Ohio University and OhioHealth O'Bleness Hospital, this location offers the rare opportunity to enjoy private hilltop country living while remaining close to everything Athens has to offer. Homes offering this level of privacy, setting, and convenience rarely become available. Schedule your private showing today. Showings begin 4/15/26
