The home

Athens living, Madison County taxes.

This Craftsman-style, single-level home sits in the Woodbury neighborhood of Hull, just over the Athens-Clarke County line, so you get Athens convenience with Madison County's lower property taxes. A brick watertable, landscaped yard and shady covered front porch give it real curb appeal.

Inside, a dedicated foyer opens to an open main living space with high ceilings and luxury vinyl plank floors. The great room centers on a wood-burning brick fireplace and flows into a kitchen with stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, subway tile, granite counters and a large island, with a dining area overlooking the backyard.

A split-bedroom layout keeps the primary suite private, with a trey ceiling, an oversized walk-in closet and a bath with a garden tub, separate glass shower and dual-sink vanity. Three more bedrooms and two more full baths sit on the other side. Out back, a covered porch with a ceiling fan looks over a large, flat, fully fenced yard backed by woods, and a two-car garage handles storage. Kroger, Ingles and Starbucks are under five minutes away.
