1885 Club Street,  Statham GA, 30666

A RARE FIND in THE GEORGIA CLUB! This fantastic home is located on a lovely corner lot in the desirable, original Village neighborhood! It is walkable to many popular destinations, such as: the two pools, the Clubhouse with several dining options, the golf pro-shop, post office, tennis courts, fitness center, and the community-focused Village Hall. This one-of-a-kind home has, both, indoor and outdoor attractions. From the moment you come up the walkway and step onto the brick front porch, you will notice several gardens, a heated pool, a 7-hole putting green, and the upper level screened-in porch which evokes a welcoming embrace reminiscent of many homes in Charleston and Savannah. The welcome feeling is further enhanced by an elegant RH Provence-style fountain adjoining the front porch. The courtyard side of the home features a luxurious heated, salt-water pool surrounded by gardens and comfortable gathering spaces, such as, the covered cooking/dining porch. The seven-hole putting green was designed by PGA Pro and top ranked short-game instructor, Dave Stockton. The putting green installation was professionally completed by Back Nine Greens, a California based company that has also worked with Tiger Woods, Mark Walberg, and Augusta National. Inside, you will be charmed by the spacious media room with a built-in surround sound speaker system, a large stone fireplace, and your own big-screen TV that is surrounded by built-in bookshelves. Opposite the foyer and media room is a formal dining room with a butler's pantry that leads to the kitchen which is situated next to the sitting area and great room with a second stone fireplace. Sharing this spacious area with dinner guests is easily accommodated with the open-concept design of the kitchen, great room and sitting room. Multiple dining options are available for day-to-day living or entertaining: a large, granite topped kitchen bar, the formal dining room, or al fresco dining on the covered courtyard lanai. The private, primary bedroom is located on the main level and includes a large marble, calicatta-gold, tiled bathroom and a huge walk-in shower with multiple body sprays. Adjoining the bath is a large walk-in closet with California wood shelves and a built-in cabinet with pull-out drawers. Also nearby is the laundry room with a spacious broom closet, a stainless steel sink, counter space for folding, and overhead cabinets for storing laundry products. Upstairs are two bedrooms, each with an ensuite bathroom. A recent revision of former attic space, with the addition of a dormer and windows, has provided much more usable space that is sunny and inviting. This room can be used as a play room, exercise room, office, or a fourth bedroom. It also has four large closets for extra storage. The large landing provides access to French doors that open to a large screened-in porch. Here, cocktails can be enjoyed while watching the 4th of July fireworks, colorful sunsets, or cheering-on parade participants and Foot Race runners, or just waving to neighbors walking by. Recent purchases for the home include necessary and upgraded features. The roof and water heater have been replaced, as have, the kitchen refrigerator and various pool necessities. Other new appliances include a built-in wine cooler, and separate built-in ice maker. The Georgia Club is a gated, 27-hole golf course community that is located 10 miles west of Athens, which is the home of The University of Georgia.
