Property Description

A private in-ground pool with a diving board, a fully fenced backyard, and a solid brick exterior - this sprawling ranch has the bones and the setting that are increasingly hard to find at any price point. Set on 1.1 level acres in the Charclar subdivision of Clarke County, this 5-bedroom, 3-full-bath ranch delivers nearly 2,000 square feet of single-story living with an attached 2-car side-entry garage with door opener. Built in 1988, the home carries the character of its era alongside real opportunity for a buyer ready to put their own stamp on it. Inside, the layout is practical and livable - five bedrooms across one story means flexibility for home offices, guest space, or whatever your household needs. The kitchen features stone counters, and the flooring throughout includes luxury vinyl, ceramic tile, and additional materials that give each space its own feel. The primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main level, keeping everything accessible without stairs. Heating is handled by central forced air, and cooling is central electric - both standard systems that keep the home comfortable year-round. The property runs on well water and a septic system, which are common and cost-effective in this part of Clarke County. Step outside and the real story unfolds. The backyard is fenced, flat, and anchored by that in-ground pool - a feature that transforms summer in Georgia from something to endure into something to look forward to. A storage shed adds practical utility, and the garden area gives green thumbs room to work. The patio extends the living space outdoors and looks directly onto the pool area, making it easy to host or simply unwind. Located within the Jackson County School District and close to everyday conveniences in the Athens area, this property combines acreage, privacy, and a rare pool amenity in a package that rewards the buyer willing to invest in updates.
