170 Virginia Ave Athens, GA 30601

Welcome home to 170 Virginia Avenue. Built in 2002, this newer construction home is located in the highly desirable Boulevard Historic District and features 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and nearly 5,000 sq. ft. Enter the front door to a welcoming foyer with reclaimed heart-pine floors and crown moulding. To the left of the entry, a large archway opens to the keeping room with wall-to-wall built-ins and gorgeous moulding not often seen in newer construction. To the right of the entry is the formal dining room, large enough for a table of either with room to spare. Accessible from the dining room is a small butler's pantry that opens to the kitchen. Also off the entryway is a powder room with pedestal sink and mosaic tile flooring. At the rear of the home you'll find a bright and comfortable living room with hardwood floors, fireplace, built-ins and two sets of French doors that open to the screened porch. The kitchen is quite large and features a breakfast bar, ample cabinet and countertop space, double wall-ovens and a gas cooktop. Off the kitchen is an extra-large eating area with tiled floors and vintage-inspired lighting. A centrally located staircase leads to the second story with a spacious hallway and storage closet. Two large bedrooms at the front of the house share a jack-and-jill bathroom with separate vanities and a tub/shower. The master suite is private, expansive, and includes a fireplace, separate sitting room and double closets. The bathroom is adorable and features mosaic tile flooring, a clawfoot tub, separate shower and a water closet with storage. The basement is also expansive, offering nearly 2,000 sq. ft. of finished space (according to tax records.) The basement hallway could be used in a variety of ways and features several large built-ins, rescued from the Elberton courthouse. Stained concrete floors run throughout the basement, including the additional two bedrooms. There is also a large bonus/entertainment room with built-ins and an unfinished storage/utility room. The basement bathroom bursts with old-world charm and features a mosaic tiled floor and subway tiled shower, stained glass windows and reclaimed doors. The basement laundry is large with room for a refrigerator or freezer and is accessible to the back yard. Other notable features: mature landscaping, private driveway, a back-yard storage shed and a large back deck with custom steel staircase leading to the back yard. Located in the award-winning Chase Street School Zone.
