About this home
One of the only homes in Lantern Walk with a two-car garage at this price point—now offered at $329,000. Set up for real life—not resale theater—this Lantern Walk home offers proportion, flexibility, and a layout that quietly supports the way people actually move through their days. The main level centers around a living area that feels easy to inhabit, with the kitchen and dining space positioned for everyday use rather than performance. There’s nothing overblown or overdesigned here. Just rooms that know what they’re doing. Durable LVP flooring runs throughout, giving a sense of continuity and the kind of resilience that earns its keep over time. Upstairs, the primary suite stands apart—spacious for this square footage, with vaulted ceilings, a generous walk-in closet, and a private bath with dual sinks and its own linen storage. The two additional bedrooms sit nearby, but there’s still a feeling of separation—enough room for everyone to have their own edges. Just outside those bedrooms, an open bonus area sits across from the laundry and doesn’t insist on being just one thing. It works easily as a TV room, reading nook, shared workspace, or quiet hangout—open by design, and better for it. Some nearby plans wall it off as a fourth bedroom, but here, the space is allowed to stay fluid—more season of life than fixed label. The layout includes three bedrooms, two full baths, and one half bath, with a clear rhythm between shared and private spaces—all bedrooms upstairs, creating a natural separation between living and rest. The two-car garage adds another layer of flexibility—currently holding both vehicles and a compact workout setup, with space left over to shift as priorities do. Lantern Walk’s HOA takes care of lawn maintenance, trash, and recycling, and includes access to community spaces like a playscape, ball field, volleyball court, and pavilion with picnic tables and grills—features that are actually used, not just listed. The location offers an easy kind of access: just minutes from the Oak Grove Publix center, with quick routes to campus, medical centers, Normaltown, downtown Athens, and the loop. Close to everything, without being swallowed by it. If you’ve been looking in Lantern Walk, this is one worth seeing in person. Whether it’s a first home, a long-term hold, or a well-placed investment, this is a place with its footing already under it—practical where it matters, open where it counts, and ready to keep pace with the way real life actually unfolds....
