About This Home
As of April 2016In-town, 1907 Queen Anne Victorian located in the heart of Historic Normaltown neighborhood. This historic gem sits on a .51 acre piece of land directly across from UGA's beautiful 60 acre Health Sciences and Medical School campus, and 2 blocks from Bishop Park, local farmer's market, YMCA, as well as the vibrant center of Normaltown.This architectural treasure still has gorgeous, woodwork throughout the rooms on the 1st floor, with highly detailed mantles and staircase, wainscoting, pocket doors, 12 baseboards, impressive crown molding and trim in rooms with 12' ceilings and 8' doors. As you enter the front door, there is a beautiful staircase in the central hallway that leads up to an artfully restored master suite with its own living area. This upstairs living space boats pressed tin ceilings, exposed brick chimney, and its own full kitchen and bar/island with granite counters. The entire upstairs has an open floor plan, other than the master bedroom and bath. The bedroom opens to the common area by custom built rail-mounted doors that slide open. The master bedroom also has an exposed brick chimney with antique mantle attached. The master bath has artful tile work as well as a unique wood vanity imported from Africa. The house is currently being used as 4 apartments, and has 4 kitchens and 4 baths, and currently 5 bedrooms but if the house was converted to single living space, there could be 6-7 bedrooms. The home has single metering, and the apartments were essentially separated by locked doors to create separation of space. Ideally, this house could be returned to owner-occupancy, by opening these doors to create a grand, unified home. It would be easy to maintain 1, or possibly 2 rental units for income, or perhaps as a multi-generational home with private and shared space. Currently, the 4 leases are in place thru July 2016 (details available upon request). Also of note, there is a huge wrap-around front porch overlooking a vast front yard, a side deck, rear porch, side carport, and large workshop/studio with communal 2nd washer/dryer area. It's rare that a home of this architectural impressiveness becomes available, and even rarer to find the quality of interior craftsmanship still intact. This is an incredible opportunity to own a unique piece of Athens history.
