Bathed in natural light and brimming with character, this stunning mid-century lodge with a saltwater pool offers a rare blend of architectural beauty and peaceful, park-like surroundings. From the vaulted ceilings and clerestory windows to the whitewashed tongue-and-groove detailing and dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, the living spaces feel open, inviting, and effortlessly stylish. The heart of the home is the renovated kitchen thoughtfully designed with sleek black granite countertops, warm wood cabinetry, new stainless steel appliances, and an abundance of storage. There's even a dedicated workspace tucked in, perfect for managing busy days from home. With four spacious bedrooms and three and a half baths, there's room for everyone to spread out. Three bedrooms are located on the main floor, each with sliding doors that open to the serene outdoors. Downstairs, the light-filled terrace level includes a second living area with a convenient kitchenette/bar ideal for guests, entertaining, or just relaxing by the pool. Speaking of the pool: it's saltwater, newly updated with a fresh liner and loop-lock cover, and just steps from a charming gazebo. Your own private backyard oasis for warm Georgia summers. All of this is set against the backdrop of Bear Creek flowing gently behind the property. The natural beauty continues just beyond the property line, where the 34-acre Robert L. Bridges Park offers walking trails and a Boy Scout-built wooden bridge leading to the Treadwell Trail right next door. Your backyard feels like a private nature preserve, permanently protected from development. With a new roof, new water heater, new appliances, and thoughtful upgrades throughout, this home is truly turnkey and move-in ready. And the location couldn't be more convenient less than a mile to downtown Statham, just 16 miles to Athens, and only 8 miles to Winder. A rare opportunity to own a home that offers comfort, character, and a seamless connection to nature.
