One-level living, a fully updated kitchen and baths, and a maintenance history that lets you move in without a project list. At the end of a cul-de-sac in Snapfinger Woods, 117 Gibbons Place has been thoughtfully improved over the years, with greenspace beyond the rear property line adding a quiet, wooded backdrop. The sellers have handled both the visible updates and the work that is easy to overlook. The kitchen was completely renovated with custom cabinetry, pantry storage, an island, granite countertops, a subway-tile backsplash, hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, and a newer gas range. Both bathrooms have also been updated, including an expanded primary bath with a custom vanity, granite countertop, tiled shower, and glass door. The former sunken living room was reworked so the main living areas now flow together on one level. Matching hardwoods were installed, creating a more connected layout throughout the home. The home has three bedrooms, two full baths, and a two-car garage. Outside, the beautiful screened porch, deck, fenced backyard, established landscaping, and raised garden beds provide plenty of usable outdoor space. The decks were recently sanded and stained, and the roof and windows have already been replaced. Additional improvements include updated flooring, interior paint, lighting, fencing, a gas water heater, fireplace insert, and regular HVAC, pest, and termite service. This well-kept home has had the big projects handled with care in a quiet Snapfinger Woods setting on Athens’ Eastside, close to shopping, dining, the UGA Veterinary Teaching Hospital, and everyday errands. Fiber internet has also recently been installed in the neighborhood.
