*Investor Special in Prime Athens Location – Unlock the Potential at 139 Tilson Rd*
Located just 5 minutes from Five Points, Bear Hollow Zoo, and the UGA Botanical Gardens—and under 10 minutes to downtown Athens and Epps Bridge shopping (Costco, Best Buy, and more)—this property sits in one of the most desirable sweet spots between Athens and Oconee County. The location alone makes this a can’t-miss opportunity.
This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,553 sq ft of living space, but savvy investors will quickly see the potential to expand beyond 2,000 sq ft by converting the existing garage into a spacious master suite. The layout already includes a remodeled bathroom just off the garage entry—ideal for a seamless transformation into a 4-bedroom, master-on-main floor plan.
Surrounded by mature landscaping and tucked into a quiet neighborhood, the home feels private while still offering all the perks of convenience and community. With flexible renovation options, this is the perfect canvas for a flip, long-term rental, or custom personal residence.
Being sold as-is. Whether you’re looking to renovate and resell, hold as a rental, or make it your own, 139 Tilson Rd is an incredible investment opportunity in one of Athens’ most strategic locations.
