30 Harden Hill Road

The unicorn you've been waiting for in Oconee County: A very chic midcentury modern right in downtown Watkinsville, and so close to everything that you will be leaving the car in the garage (a lot...in Oconee!). This 4 bed/3 bath home sits over an unfinished daylight basement with exterior access and is stubbed for sewer with water easily accessed as well. One floor living begins with a slate floored foyer, stepping down to a large, bright, and sunken living room with steps back up to a roomy formal dining room, creating a home that actually has hilltop style "views" "inside"!. The back of the home consists of a den with fireplace and sliding door access to a brick walled back patio overlooking a private yard, and a kitchen with a large adjacent laundry/pantry center. An L-shaped hall leads to all the bedrooms (and basement access) with the owner's suite connected to the first secondary-bedroom to make for some versatile design options (Check out the vintage MCM bathroom!). Two more roomy bedrooms round out the main floor with one of the bedrooms having semi-private access to the hall bath, which is designed to act as two private bathrooms due to opposite ends of the bathroom each having their own toilets and sinks. The basement is clean, dry, has tall ceilings, and is ready for immediate use as storage, gym, play/craft area, shop, or go ahead and finish out for a bunch more heated and cooled space. LARGE double-door two-car garage is accessible here as well. The following are just some of the many updates in the last 2-3 years: new dishwasher, new back sliding door, new back doors in the basement, new HVAC and ductwork, updated flooring, paint in and out, newer gutters and roof, new kitchen sink and disposal, new garage door into basement, freshly pumped and serviced septic right before listing, new water heater boxed and ready for install but current one works great, new fridge, and much more. This home is literally downtown with its cafes, shoppes, restaurants, the OCAF Arts center, Little League fields and more. Just a quick jaunt to Wire Park with its shoppes, brewery, kids activities, live music stage and more. Within a mile: The new 200+ acre Thompson Farm Preserve County Park with walking and biking trails, Watkinsville Woods is almost literally behind the home. Harris Shoals Park and Rec Field down the street. The Saturday Farmers Market is two blocks away. And more fun stuff is coming to town by the month, it seems. Need access to Athens? So many options for access to East Side, West Side, Campus, and downtown ATH. Need to get to ATL? This location will shave 15 minutes off a typical drive from ATH to ATL. Truly a rare find for a lifestyle not easily found in Oconee. Easy to show and ready to go. NOTE: This is only the second time this home has been offered for purchase since it was built.
