101 Coventry Ln Athens, OH 45701

This home steps away from the ordinary in the best sort of way, with its gambrel roofline, woody interior, and perch above the fray. Both cottage-y and modern at once, it feels like home the minute you go up the stairs, onto the huge wrap-around deck, and into the open living area with a wall of windows. Owners have given it an airy facelift, so gone are the wallpaper & dark cabinets, for instance, in exchange for a look that is updated just right. This is a home that demands little attention. Exterior and composite decking are of maintenance-free materials, and the numerous wood walls (keep them natural? Paint them shiplap white? There's a discussion.) easily stand the test of time. Owners have loved the comfy living room for sitting by the fire, and the family-room loft for movie night. The private owner bedroom is spacious with big double closet. 2 Bedrooms and kitchen on the main floor have wood-beamed ceilings that give them character. The deck is a room in itself during the warm seasons. Lg closet upstairs could become a sweet little office. And who doesn't love the Coventry Ln neighborhood, close to everything. Owners hate to leave but a new job out of town disagrees.
