130 Oakdale Road

There’s something about this home you feel right away. It’s warm, inviting, and just easy to be in, with a really nice balance of open spaces and cozy corners, hardwood floors, natural light, and a layout that simply works. Set in Glenwood, one of Athens’ most sought-after neighborhoods, this beautifully updated mid-century split-level brings all of that together in a way that feels both comfortable and intentional. The heart of the home is the bright, open kitchen with crisp white cabinetry and an oversized island that naturally becomes the gathering spot. It flows easily into the dining area and an additional sitting space with its own wood-burning fireplace—perfect as a cozy den, library, or home office. An addition to the home has really transformed how it lives. The expansive family room features vaulted ceilings, a stunning wood-burning fireplace, and plenty of room to spread out. This space also includes a guest half bath and a well-placed laundry room, adding both function and comfort. French doors open out to a truly special backyard—private, peaceful, and full of character. A large deck offers space for dining and lounging, while a separate patio with an outdoor fireplace creates another inviting spot to unwind. Just beyond, a picturesque creek runs along the back of the property, adding to the sense of retreat. A raised garden bed is already in place, ready for your own vegetables—tomatoes, peppers, whatever you feel like growing. Upstairs and downstairs have a similar layout, with two bedrooms and a full bath on each level. There’s no formal primary suite, but the current owners have made the lower level their own retreat—using one bedroom as the main and the second as a sitting room or office, and it works beautifully. And then there’s the location. Glenwood is one of those neighborhoods people don’t want to leave—wooded, peaceful, full of character—and you’re still less than a mile to Five Points with some of Athens’ best restaurants, shops, and everyday spots right there. Zoned for Barrow Elementary and truly move-in ready, this is a great opportunity to get into one of Athens’ most established neighborhoods at a really approachable price point.
