Privacy, Location and Whimsical Charm are the words that best describe this Five Points property! This craftsman style home is nestled on a .57 acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac street in the desirable Glenwood neighborhood. Numerous buyer markets would fit the profile for our next owner: Investor - this would be a phenomenal property to own and rent; Empty Nesters - you'll enjoy the main level living with no stairs and huge rocking chair front porch; Family - enjoy the benefits of being within walking distance to Five Points and the amazing Barrow School District; Georgia Fan - well, let's just say this would be a "Smart" decision! The open floor plan provides a graciously sized living space, dining area and an additional space for an office or mud room. These living spaces and both upstairs bedrooms feature hardwood floors and remote control ceiling fans. Over the years, many updates have been made to the property including new windows, two fully renovated baths and an updated kitchen. The kitchen boasts a 4 eye gas range, warming drawer, built in deep fryer, custom cherry finished cabinets, granite countertops, and an Italian tile backsplash. The open floor plan is perfect for entertaining, and just off of the kitchen, you will find a dining area with a gas log wood stove and a French door providing access to the oversized Charleston front porch. The main floor is home to two bedrooms, with one being the logical owner's suite. Both have California style designed closets and they share an updated full bath featuring a claw foot tub/shower and granite vanity tops with two vessel sinks. The lower level continues to impress with three additional bedrooms, one being an optional rec. room with access to the large laundry room, and a French door that leads to a covered patio. An updated locker room style full bath with huge walk in shower and two wall sinks serves the bedrooms on the lower level. Finishes for this level include modern glazed concrete floors, commercial style exposed ductwork and two French doors providing an abundance of natural light. As for the exterior, this property offers wonderful entertaining and grilling spaces with an oversized private patio, massive covered rocking chair porch, brick accented walkways and garden areas. A small portion of the yard has been fenced in for pets. To be within walking distance to Five Points, 2 minutes from UGA and minutes from Loop 10, you can't beat the location!!
