230 Hillside St Athens, GA 30601

In-Town, 1920s cottage, with 3 huge porches, deep wooded lot, on a quiet street. It sits next to a 100 acre park, the Greenway Trail, and only 3 blocks from Downtown, Oconee River, & a 2nd park alongside River, Dudley Park. This property offers a wonderful mix of both indoor and outdoor livability. The house has classic features: 10′ ceilings, large rooms, heart pine floors, wood walls, old mantles, original doors and hardware, a big kitchen with a huge walk-in pantry. The kitchen has an apron sink, wood butcher-block counters, and lots of storage. There's a sunroom on the back of the house, that can also serve as a nice office or studio space; it opens to a large back porch that sits privately up high, and feels a bit like a treehouse, with expansive views of the wooded lot. There's a living room sized front porch as well, and a huge, screened side porch, which includes a rope swing bed for relaxing, daydreaming as you get lost in the tree canopy, or curling up with a book. Additionally, the back yard is fenced, has an old storage building, and a fire pit. There's also an area separately fenced for chickens, with a ‘funky chicken' house (which may come with 2 mighty fine chickens, one named Meatbone). There's also a homemade aquaponics system, for raising fish and vegetables, which may be included as well. There's tons of storage under the porches and under the house. This is a special property, not easily found in-town. This property has a lot of history here, good neighbor's, and offers the best of the Athens in-town living experience.
