About This Home

As of July 2025

Have you ever had a change of heart, upending your life only to find that where you came from is actually where you belong? Sometimes you need change to gain perspective on what is important. That's the story here and the seller's change of heart could be your chance to settle into this charming home in Athen's coveted East Side neighborhood. The house has undergone quite a transformation under the current seller who has tightened up all the loose ends from their home inspection while giving it a glow-up that you will have to see to believe. Thoroughly cleaned and freshly (and professionally) painted this feels like a different space, inviting and cozy. The location can't be beat with easy access to the bike path, library, campus, uptown and a short walk to some of Athen's most notable and community-minded businesses, like Kindred Market, Jackie O's and the Village Bakery. If you missed out the first time, this is your second chance, an ultra-rare occurrence in real estate.
