43 Harden Hill Road

The stunning cedar house on Harden Hill Road in Downtown Watkinsville that everyone knows, yep that one, is now available for purchase! On the market for the first time since 2004, this historic home, originally built in 1957, underwent a full remodel in 2016. The 3 BR / 2 BA modern-rustic craftsmen-style home sits on the corner of Harden Hill Road and Hight Drive and is less than .3 miles (7-minute walk) from Main Street in Downtown Watkinsville. With double road frontage and three driveways, going to and from the property is extremely easy. Park in the extra-long two-car garage or the pebble stone parking pad in the back or along the pebble stone horseshoe driveway at the front of the house. Walk up on the front porch which spans the full length of the house. Enter through the beautiful French doors into the large foyer area that is open to the dining room and kitchen. As you walk into the home, you will instantly notice the 20 ft+ vaulted ceilings, the beautiful hardwood floors flowing throughout the house, and a few antique doors that are over 100 years old. To your left is a staircase that leads to a large loft area with a balcony overlooking the foyer and kitchen areas below. The loft has knotty pine hardwood floors and would make a great office, study, or game room. Back down the stairs, follow the passageway under the staircase to two similar-sized bedrooms and a shared bathroom. The guest bathroom is a tub/shower combo with tiled shower walls and tiled bathroom floors. Making your way into the small but thoughtfully laid-out kitchen, you'll find quartz countertops, high-end appliances, a gas range, custom cabinets, and built-in shelving. The kitchen opens into a very convenient laundry/mud room that features additional cabinetry, a laundry sink, a clothes rack, and tile floors. Conveniently located off the mud room is the peaceful cedar-rich back porch and the two-car garage. On the other end of the house are the living room and master suite. As you step down into the living room with the stone fireplace, the house suddenly feels more private, warm, and cozy. Finally, there is the master suite, which can be accessed from the hallway off the kitchen or through the living room. The master bedroom is large with a proportionately large walk-in closet. The master bathroom has tile floors, a double vanity, plenty of cabinetry and storage space, and a walk-in tile shower. The exterior of the house, almost entirely made of cedar, is extremely unique and has some serious curb appeal. All of this is just an easy walk to the restaurants and shops in Downtown Watkinsville, Wire Park, Watkinsville Woods Park, and the upcoming city-preserved 100-acre greenspace and park. Also, easy access to Harris Shoals Park, Butler's Crossing, Hwy 316, Epps Bridge, and UGA. If there's ever been a more appropriate time to use the phrase "highly desirable", this would be it! Don't let this opportunity pass you by. Come explore this magical property located in the heart of Historic Watkinsville!
