565 River Oaks Lane, Evans, GA 30809 (MLS# 550968)

Better than new construction! This 6-bedroom home, completed in 2022, sits on one of the most desirable lots in the River Oaks neighborhood. The large, flat 0.37-acre lot backs up to a wooded area and offers privacy on all sides. The location is especially convenient within Columbia County's Greenbriar High School zone—just off Hardy McManus Road, minutes from Riverwood Town Center and top-rated schools, while benefiting from reduced traffic and multiple commuting routes between major thoroughfares. The sellers have completed numerous upgrades, including updated lighting, a 240V EV charging outlet in the garage, a privacy fence, full-perimeter gutters, window blinds, and hardwood flooring in the primary suite, upstairs hallway, and largest secondary bedroom. The home also boasts a strong Master's rental history due to its upgrades, layout, and location. A covered front porch leads into the foyer, featuring a statement chandelier, with a dedicated office on one side and a flex room (currently used as a playroom) on the other, complete with a coffered ceiling and wainscoting. Just beyond are the staircase and a hallway leading to a spacious guest bedroom with ensuite access to a full bathroom and a linen closet, making it ideal for guests, in-laws, or multigenerational living. A tankless water heater ensures hot water on demand for guests. Overlooking the backyard, the open concept living room, kitchen, and breakfast area create a functional and inviting main living space. The living room includes accent lighting and a fireplace, providing a comfortable gathering area. The kitchen is well-appointed with upgraded stainless-steel appliances, including an 8-burner gas range with double ovens, refrigerator, dishwasher, deep sink, and walk-in pantry. Granite countertops, a large island, and ample cabinetry offer generous storage and workspace, along with an additional storage closet in the hallway connecting the kitchen and flex room and access to the garage. Upstairs, the home offers a primary suite, 4 additional bedrooms, 2 guest bathrooms, and a laundry room. The primary suite features a tray ceiling with hidden accent lighting. A private hallway connecting to the ensuite bathroom includes 2 separate walk-in closets with custom wood shelving. The bathroom offers dual vanities, a garden tub, walk-in shower, separate water closet, and direct access to the laundry room. Two front-facing bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with the vanity area separated from the tub and shower. The corner bedroom has a walk-in closet with custom shelving and additional attic storage on both sides. The other bedroom is the largest in the home, and features a vaulted ceiling, abundant natural light, a reach-in closet with wood shelving, and is currently used as a home gym. The remaining 2 bedrooms share the 4th hall bath. The attic is accessible via pull-down stairs and is partially floored with tall ceilings, adding even more storage space. Outside, a covered patio with ceiling fan overlooks the peaceful backyard, providing an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining. The flat yard offers ample room for future improvements. Wood fencing on two sides enhances privacy, while wrought iron fencing along the back maintains open views of the wooded backdrop. Located in one of Columbia County's most sought-after areas, this home is minutes from Clarks Hill Lake, Riverwood Town Center, parks, and the Betty's Branch boat launch, with an easy commute to Fort Eisenhower, the U.S. Army Cyber Center, Augusta University, the Medical District, and major employers including Club Car, Amazon, and John Deere. The property offers a rare combination of a wonderful lot, thoughtful upgrades, and a highly convenient location in Evans.
