2140 S Lumpkin St Athens, GA 30606

Built in the 1930s by the foreman of the Princeton Cotton Mill, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath home is an oasis in a sea of overpriced, outdated 5 Points homes. This home has been lovingly restored and meticulously maintained. Every detail has been attended to. For example, the moment you walk in the door, you will note the quality of construction and original features. The stately staircase has the most gracious curve to the base, the dining room (right) is separated by original, solid wood pocket doors, and beyond that, you will find a fabulous office/sunroom with hand painted wood floors (done by a local artist). The left side of the house boasts a generous living room with fireplace and a fun playroom on the far right with build in bookcases and seating. At the back of the house, there is a modern kitchen with new cabinets, countertops and appliances. The butler's pantry off the kitchen provides ample, attractive storage. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. This home has a true master suite with his and hers walk-in closets, a generous master bath with 2 sinks, towel warners, and more. Tons of upgrades including new roof (2013), paint, heat pump (Lenox) and downstairs windows (Pella). There are NEST thermostats, new wiring and plumbing (to the house and the street). For a full list of repairs, contact listing agent. Check out the amazing light switches in many of the rooms. These are new, but are replicas of the original. A large, fenced in playscape and entertaining areas welcome outdoor living. The deck on back is perfect for grilling, and the entire property has an amazing tree canopy. Built-in storage in basement and attic. A 900 sq. ft. artist's studio sits behind the house ready for creative thinking or easy transformation into a garage. Two entrances, one off Lumpkin, and a second off of Old Princeton. 5 Points, the Birchmore trail, Memorial Park, and Barrow Elementary are a short walk, ride or roll away.
