125 Wood Lake Dr UNIT 207, Athens, GA 30606

Step inside Unit 207 at The Flats of Woodlake and it carries the subtle air of the English countryside-bright, fresh, and punctuated with the scent of sweet pond lilies drifting from below. A true ranch-style condo, rare in Athens, this three-bedroom, two-bath home gathers 1,680 square feet onto a single level. Hardwood floors and tall ceilings lift the living room, where autumn edges in with the same ease as the turning leaves outside. The kitchen balances charm with utility: crisp white cabinetry, granite counters, and stainless appliances. There's space here for rhythm-coq au vin braising low in a Dutch oven while sourdough finishes in the oven, with wide counters steady enough for prep and generous enough for plates waiting to be carried out. A raised counter ties kitchen to dining-a natural perch for conversation and a glass in hand while dinner makes its way to the table. Across from the dining area, a built-in with glass-front cabinets doubles as storage and display-a counter that begs for decanters or a favorite serving piece. As the sun drops low, amber light slides across the cabinet doors. Glass French doors draw the living room toward the outdoors, opening to a private balcony above the pond, where the last of the season's fireflies still twinkle. A modern fireplace sharpens the room's edge-sleek enough to feel current, substantial enough to center the space when called upon. It's an instant gathering place, the ease of push-button gas, grounded in comfort. The primary suite is the kind of retreat that makes a snooze button feel justified-morning light diffused through French doors and double windows, plush new carpet underfoot. A private door closes it off from the living space, its en suite set apart in its own wing. The bathroom has been newly refined: a double vanity, soaking tub, ambient lighting, and a separate glass shower set against warm stone tile-all gleaming and ready for a lavender soak. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom flex for guests, art collections, offices, or all those hardbacks you keep swearing you'll either finish or donate. Ease is everywhere-just a couple of steps from your parking spot to the front door, plus an elevator in the building. Recent exterior updates give the Flats buildings a renewed face, where the gated community holds its own little enclave: a lake at the center, trails that wind along the water and beyond, a pool, and landscaped grounds shifting in color and character throughout the year. Beyond the gate, you're 1.3 miles to Atlanta Highway, 2.1 miles to Beechwood and Alps, under 3 miles to Epps Bridge Centre, and just barely 4 miles to downtown Athens and the University of Georgia-minutes from everywhere you need to be, though life here keeps its own slower tempo. This isn't just a condo; it's the rarest of lotto combinations: single-level living, generous square footage, and the quiet rhythm of life arriving at your own balcony doors.
