328 Dearing St Athens, GA 30605

A very unique opportunity!! A historic property with your own rental home in your backyard on the beautiful sidewalk lined street of Dearing. This home has been known as the Pink Chimney and is one of the oldest homes in Athens. This home was renovated in 2015, and won the Historic Preservation award the same year. Many original elements of the home were carefully restored and renovated. The home has the original heart of pine wood floors, as well as the original triple sash windows. Adam-style mantels with the sunburst motif are still part of the home. These were typical in the Federal period. In 1961, Rev. A. Dawson Teague painted the chimneys of the home pink, which affectionately earned the home's nickname of "Pink Chimneys". In 2015 the home was totally renovated and restored, including new insulation, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roof, almost all the original heart of pine floors, 4 of the original 6 fireplaces/mantels, and two claw foot tubs were refurbished. Additional heart pine rescued from the old Jittery Joes roaster were added where needed. An addition was added at the time of renovation and includes the playroom, screened porch, guest bedroom, laundry room, and guest bathroom. This beautiful historic home has received several awards and been featured by Southern Living when UGA played Alabama in the National Championship football game. Some of the accolades of this home: winner of the Athens Heritage Award for Outstanding Rehabilitation and Athens Walking Tour as a point of historical interest in Athens.
