Tucked into one of Athens' most sought-after pockets — an easy walk to Five Points — this newer-build custom home offers over 5,200 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, pairing in-town convenience with rare privacy. The kitchen is anchored by a professional-grade range and a whitewashed brick backsplash. A hidden butler's pantry and wet bar sit just off the island, complete with a beverage fridge, extra shelving, and space for coffee service or a cocktail cart — built for effortless entertaining, quiet weeknight or full house. A custom mudroom off the kitchen keeps daily life organized with built-in cubbies and a bench. The primary suite is a true retreat: a deep soaking tub, oversized glass-enclosed shower, double vanity in a rich blue tone, patterned tile, and warm brass fixtures, plus a generous walk-in closet. But the back of the property is what sets 185 Oakland Way apart. An open-air porch stretches the width of the home, furnished for living outdoors year-round: a hanging daybed swing for lazy afternoons, a full dining table for long dinners, and a fireside-style gathering spot beneath a ceiling fan. Beyond the rail, a terraced garden steps down through the trees to a private creek — the kind of view that makes you forget you're minutes from Five Points. Morning coffee here feels like a mountain retreat, not an in-town address. A two-car garage rounds out the home.
