What's special
Welcome to 567 Fortson Road in highly sought after Five Points. This elegant 5 BR 5.5 BA home designed by award winning architect David Matheny is situated on almost two acres of wooded land nestled off of West Lake Drive in Athens, Georgia. A long circular drive leads to this traditional and stately brick home. The open foyer leads to a formal living room and dining room featuring lovely oak hardwood floors, custom built-ins and detailed millwork. An expansive chef's kitchen for entertaining has solid surface countertops, custom cabinetry, island, built-ins, separate large walk-in pantry as well as a solid bank of large windows / doors allowing light and unobstructed views of the back yard. Bright and cheery eat-in breakfast and seating area, access to laundry room, powder room, and two-car garage beyond. Generous screened porch off back of house serves as an addition room for much of the year. Sophisticated study / den / addition room with dedicated full bathroom and amble closet spaces next to private primary suite with fireplace and screened porch access. Large primary bathroom along with large closets all on main floor. Upstairs there is a causal landing for reading or sitting. Three large bedrooms with two full bathrooms on this upper floor. Plenty of closet space as well as storage room. Terrace level is a sun-filled office, exercise area, full bathroom and a large game / media room with kitchenette, built-ins and pool table. Exterior access and light filled windows create a thoughtful flex space to escape to on this lower level. Voluminous storage room and mechanical room also on this floor. Thoughtfully manicured grounds with walking paths and patio surround this home and allow for a lovely and tranquil in-town get-away just minutes from Beechwood Shopping Center, Five Points Business district, medical centers, downtown Athens and The University of Georgia.
