395 Roberts, Athens, Georgia

Description

395 Roberts Road feels honest in a way that's increasingly uncommon - not over-designed, not staged into personality, just thoughtfully maintained and comfortable in its proportions. Fresh paint sharpens the home's 1967 lines without sanding away its character. The original hardwood floors - not refinished into oblivion, just beautifully preserved - run throughout the main level, carrying a warmth that feels natural rather than manufactured. A long, low roofline paired with a teal front door gives the exterior a quiet mid-century presence. It's balanced without trying too hard. Three bedrooms and two full baths sit together just up a short flight of stairs. Though technically a split-level, the layout lives more like a ranch, with kitchen, living areas, and daily routines unfolding primarily on one level. The main living space opens comfortably, with generous proportions and updated lighting that keep it current without overwriting its roots. The kitchen anchors the plan with white cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances, and an island sized for real use - not just display. Downstairs, the finished lower level functions as a true second living area, complete with durable plank flooring, a half bath, exterior access, and a two-car garage. It's a space you'll use. The wooded lot adds privacy and depth, creating a sense of retreat while keeping you close to everything. On Athens' Westside in the Whitehead Road Elementary district, you're about a mile from Oak Grove's Publix and shops, with quick access to the Loop. Normaltown sits roughly four miles out, Downtown Athens about five - near enough for the energy, far enough to come home to stillness. Grounded. Straightforward. Easy to live in.

Directions: From Loop 10, or downtown Athens, take Jefferson Road away from downtown. Turn left on Whitehead Road, then right on Roberts Road. House will be on your left. Sign in yard. (Entrance to Roberts Road from Lavender Road is currently under construction.)
