560 Hillcrest Ave Athens, GA 30606

Urban beauty inside and out, lots of room, perfect location and vintage details are only the beginning of what this artistic King Ave/ARMC area 4br/2ba brick cottage has to offer. Nestled between Cobbham and Normaltown, the layout of this home includes an expansive living room with working fireplace, a dining room that opens onto a large slate-tiled screened-in porch, and a cook's kitchen with sleek appliances, glass tile and heart-of-pine bar. The first floor also features two spacious bedrooms and a sweet vintage bathroom with original 1930s fixtures and basketweave tile. White wooden blinds and hardwood floors throughout. Upstairs newer construction is modern zen, with a huge 19x20 master bedroom, an art-deco style bathroom, and a lovely wood-framed bedroom/office. The back porch opens onto a roomy deck, with a gas grill and hot tub, and the yard features established vegetable, herb, and flower gardens-- yet there is still enough room for a game of kickball. Plenty of storage including a paneled attic, 10x12 shed, and outdoor utility closet. This unique in-town retreat is ideal for entertaining or for growing a family in the heart of Athens, rightfully named one of the “Seven Coolest Cities” by Kiplinger's Personal Finance. Walk, bike or bus easily to UGA main campus or Health Sciences, Athens Regional Medical Center, Bishop Park (featuring the Saturday Athens Farmer's Market), downtown Athens, and the booming Normaltown and Prince Avenue cultural districts.
