About This Home
As of June 2023This one family home built in 1938 has never before been brought to market. Located in the heart of the Cobbham neighborhood and just one block removed from the Cobbham Historic District this "central to everything" location offers the best of both worlds, benefitting from the historic fabric of the neighborhood as well as the broad versatility for improvements or additions that being outside the historic district provides. This traditional four sides brick cottage is nestled on the high ground of a nearly half acre lot complete with towering hardwood shade trees, open grassy meadow areas and established flowering landscapes. The oversized lot offers incredible versatility with immense potential, including income producing space, home additions, garages, ADU's; all very real possibilities. Or simply enjoy the move in ready space as-is and get busy enjoying the phenomenal in town Athens location. 485 Hillcrest exudes period charm with its original wood windows and doors, and all its other 1938 features including plaster walls and ceilings, solid brass door hardware with glass knobs, period trim and built-ins, and solid oak flooring. The home has been exceptionally, and lovingly, well maintained with recent improvements including the roof, attic insulation and HVAC with tankless on- demand natural gas water heater completing the systems package. In a tough in town Athens market with limited inventory this opportunity feels like a breath of fresh air and is not one to be missed.
