Charming Five Points cottage, with magazine-quality landscape, full of bio-diversity, water garden with waterfall, rear courtyard/patio, and a veritable array of outdoor rooms. A huge 232' front porch creates 2 wonderful outdoor living spaces (and dining area) that expand the functionality of this sweet cottage. The cottage has an open common living area; a living room with built-in bookcases on one wall. It opens up to dining room, and kitchen. There are 3 bedrooms, with 1 very artfully and beautifully tiled bath. Interior stairs lead to a 650' unfinished basement that has an exterior entrance from driveway side of house. This flexible space is ideal for a workshop/studio and also houses washer/dryer connections. Behind the house, there's an older 1 car garage that currently serves as a workshop, though it could also be converted to a studio or returned to its original purpose as a garage.In the words of the Owner: a peaceful haven located within walking distance of the best of amenities- Five Points for groceries and meeting friends for dining out, Lake Herrick woods for nature, and Memorial Park for picnics, the zoo, walking trails, and playgrounds. There have been times when I've been without a car, and everything I needed was within walking, biking, or bus ride distance, including downtown, UGA, and doctor's offices. With the front porch, back patio, and gardens, this abode has been delightful for hosting gatherings of friends and family. It's a good place to come home. Many hand-crafted features create the atmosphere and add to the local fee: hand tiled bathroom created by local artisan, stone garden walls, handmade front door, built-in bookshelves, tin roof and custom front porch, wood planks on ceiling of living and dining rooms, artful copper rain chain and front porch lighting, Liesure Time Zoysia lawn, raised garden bed, and waterfall pond.This is an ideal in-town, centrally walk-able location, just blocks to UGA's main campus, 2 Parks, Lake Herrick, Memorial Park, Miles bike/walking trails, Earth Fare groceries, quality local restaurants, bakery, pubs, and entertainment....the best of the Athens experience.
