Welcome to 1010 Briar Lakes Court, a custom designed home and built by a local builder and was his personal home previous to the current owners. This is a one of a kind contemporary craftsman style home and is nestled on 2.38+/- wooded acres offering lots of privacy. Thoughtfully designed to embrace its natural surroundings, walls of windows fill the home with light and tranquil seasonal views, while the open floor plan showcases whitewashed beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and exceptional mill work throughout. The gourmet kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring quartz countertops, premium appliances, a large island, butler's pantry, and adjoining mudroom. A spacious great room, sunroom, and flexible study or guest suite complete the main level. Upstairs, the private owner's retreat offers a screened porch, custom walk-in closet, and well designed master bathroom, with a sauna. Two additional upstairs bedrooms provide comfort and privacy, while a large bonus room above the garage offers versatile space for recreation, work, or hobbies. Outdoor living is equally inviting with screened porches, expansive decking, a hot tub, and peaceful wooded surroundings. Additional features include central vacuum, an encapsulated crawl space, and a prime location with easy access to Athens, Highway 316, and award-winning North Oconee schools. Being a former builder's personal home, the finishes throughout are truly high end everywhere you look.
