Listing description
About this home
OPEN HOUSE! SATURDAY, 7/25. 11:00AM-1:00PM.
WOW! NEW PRICE that makes the decision easy. Time to move forward.
This homes creates the kind of feeling that makes you want to stay awhile. Perched gracefully on a hill, this timeless four-sided brick home welcomes you with classic curb appeal and a warm, inviting atmosphere that only gets better once you step inside. The main level was designed for gathering, with an open concept layout filled with natural light pouring through the windows.
Hardwood floors, plantation shutters, crown molding, and thoughtful finishes create a space that feels both elegant and comfortable. The living room centers around a beautiful fireplace framed by custom built-in shelving, making it the perfect place to unwind or host friends. The kitchen is every bit as functional as it is beautiful, featuring granite countertops, a butcher block island, tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances such as the gas range and double ovens.
Whether you're preparing a weeknight dinner or hosting the holidays, there's plenty of room to spread out. Just off the kitchen, the sunny bay window dining area offers the perfect spot for morning coffee, while the separate formal dining room is ready for memorable dinners and celebrations. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are thoughtfully tucked away for privacy.
The primary suite feels like a getaway of its own with trey ceilings, a cozy brick fireplace, and plenty of room to relax at the end of the day. The spacious 5-piece ensuite bathroom offers double vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower, and a large walk-in closet. Three additional bedrooms and a shared full bath complete the upper level.
And then there's the backyard... the place everyone will want to be. An oversized deck stretches across the back of the home, complete with a charming veranda that's practically begging for twinkling lights and evenings spent outdoors.
An elevated portion of the deck creates the perfect dining area for backyard dinners, while the adjoining concrete patio offers even more space to spread out. The yard levels out into a beautiful setting with a fire pit that's ready for s'mores, stories, and late nights under the stars. Whether you're hosting a crowd or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home, this outdoor space was made to be lived in.
The thoughtful features don't stop there. Beneath the home, the tall crawlspace offers standing-room height, creating an incredibly functional bonus area that could easily become a workshop, hobby space, craft room, home gym, or simply exceptional storage that's hard to find. Even the driveway has been designed with convenience in mind, extending beyond the garage parking pad, continuing through the rear of the property, and connecting to the adjoining cul-de-sac.
Whether you need extra parking for guests, easier access for trailers or recreational vehicles, or simply appreciate the flexibility of a dual-access driveway, it's a feature that truly sets this home apart. Located directly across the street from the Middle Oconee River, and conveniently located near Ben Burton Park, and Mitchell Bridge Road, so you'll enjoy easy access to grocery stores, local dining, parks, and everyday conveniences while still coming home to a peaceful setting that feels tucked away from it all.

The Messtimate™
The Messtimate
This is a deliberately dumb estimate — living area times a range of recent neighborhood $/sq ft, and nothing else. It is not an appraisal, not market value, and not a valuation of this home. Even a tight range from comparable sales can’t price a specific home — here’s why.
$515,685the mess$655,419
Stronger local evidence — 4 comparable closed sales in Riverbottom, closed within the last 18 months, same property type, living area within 30% of this home.
Actual list price: $599,500 — compare it against the range above. The Messtimate is a blind sqft estimate; the list price reflects this specific home.
A 27% spread on the same house — and that gap is exactly what an automated guess can't see:
Condition & updates — a 1988 home may have had its roof, kitchen, or HVAC replaced since, or not; sq ft can't see either.
The lot & views — a premium golf, water, or preserve lot vs. a road-facing one: same sq ft, very different price.
Outliers skew it — one flip or distressed sale in the comps drags the whole $/sq ft up or down.
Carrying costs & concessions — CDD, HOA, insurance, and seller-paid buydowns change what a buyer actually pays.
And here's what the live market is doing — which the number above ignores entirely:
2 active listings competing
≈12.0 months of supply
2 closed here in the last 12 months
For reference, this home is listed at $599,500 ($180/sq ft). The list price is the seller's asking price and is not derived from this range.
Want a property-specific review from a licensed agent? A Momentum Realty agent will do a real, free comparative market analysis — walking the home, the lot, the condition, and the live market. That's the difference between a Messtimate and a valuation.
Methodology: 3,327 sq ft × $155–$197/sq ft (±12% around the median of 4 comparable closed sales in Riverbottom, last 18 months; MLS closed-sale records). Estimate for general information only; not an appraisal, valuation, or offer. Updated October 13, 2026.

Oct 2026 · Development
Planning Commission backs 181-unit apartment project west of downtown Athens
Cardinal Group proposes 181 apartments with 425 bedrooms plus eight townhouses on the block bounded by West Broad, Finley, Reese and Pope streets. The six-story project has 211 parking spaces. The Planning Commission narrowly recommended the C-D rezoning on Oct. 1, and stream permits and historic review are still needed.
Why it matters: Would add rental inventory close to downtown, increasing housing supply and foot traffic west of the core if approved. The site is about 4 miles east of Riverbottom.
SR 316 and Oconee Connector bridge work cuts lanes on the Connector
Archer Western is building two bridges to carry SR 316 over the Oconee Connector, with a separate bridge and ramps for Jimmy Daniell Road. The Connector dropped to one through lane per direction starting Sept. 18, and Jimmy Daniell Road closed Sept. 14 for about six months. Work at the intersections is projected to last at least through the end of 2028.
Why it matters: Expect multi-year lane restrictions on a key Athens to Oconee commuter route, followed by a grade-separated interchange. The site is about 3 miles south of Riverbottom.

Per the listing record, 615 River Bottom Road was built in 1988 and has 3,327 sq ft of living area, 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. Living area and lot size come from the MLS record and should be verified against the county property appraiser.
What community is 615 River Bottom Road in?
615 River Bottom Road is in Riverbottom in Athens, Clarke County. The comparable-sales section on this page shows recent closed sales nearby from the same MLS data.
