A truly rare gem just outside of downtown Comer, this mountain-retreat-like home (with an adjacent buildable lot included) is one place that a number of people already know about because it's that special in the area. Tucked away in the quietest part of desirable Royal Oak subdivision, you will feel anywhere but in a subdivision once you step on the property. This is an incredibly well-maintained 4/2.5 over an unfinished basement that has two separate terrace level access points for the multiple backyard living spaces, both covered and uncovered, a to-die-for pool (with a new liner), and a spectacular fishing pond just beyond that. And that's the just tip of the iceberg. Very large traditional covered front porch leads to the main floor with wide-plank pine floors, a large living room with impressive brick fireplace, and the LR/DR combo with new fridge and newer secondary appliances as well as loads of cabinet space, an island, and a roomy pantry. Back door access to a screen porch overlooking the backyard/pool with quick access to the detached garage with second story storage. Owner's suite on main is large and has a full bath as well as access to a private deck overlooking the backyard as well. A neat half bath under the stairs rounds out the main floor. Upstairs are two more large bedrooms and a hall bath with storage literally at every turn. Basement is neat as a pin, dry as a bone, and studded for walls and stubbed for a full bath. Workshop space galore! Two terrace level covered patios are right here and dried in and provide quick access to the pool area. One is set up to be a small outdoor TV room and is super inviting. There is a header in the bathroom area of the basement to allow for the addition of an exterior door, creating direct access to and from the pool. The pool is like new, and the concrete decking around the pool is in amazing condition. Mature gardens abound inside and outside of the fenced backyard with gate access to a large shaded dog pen area, and access to the large fish-laden pond and trail access into and through the adjacent lot that is a lot of record and buildable if you are considering a multi-generational living compound. Other goodies: wonderful paint job in/out, HVAC updated last year to a new Carrier system, updated lighting here and there, newly painted exterior concrete areas around the pool, new comfort height toilet, owner's suite shower head, whole house sound system, new tile surround in hall bath tub/shower, electric dog fence, and much much more. This kind of property rarely hits the market. All of this is just 20 minutes from Athens, close enough for an easy commute, yet far enough to enjoy peaceful, small-town living. After your tour, make your way to downtown Comer, home to the Comerian Bakery, Maggie's Cafe, and more. Easy to show and ready to go!
