858 Meigs St Athens, GA 30606

Located in the premier historic neighborhood of Cobbham, 858 Meigs Street combines the convenience of in-town living with the style and comfort of a newer construction home. The extraordinary rehabilitation of this turn-of-the-century cottage now stands out as one of the most unique and charming homes in town. This one-and-a-half story home features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a second-story loft, a covered back deck, privacy fencing and nearly 1,300 sq. ft. of finished living space. Just inside the entryway is a spacious living room with soaring ceilings, sleek new flooring and a stylish electric fireplace. The living room flows through the dining area to a show-stopping kitchen. New cabinetry, tile backsplash, quartz countertops and stainless appliances lend an eclectic flair to this traditional interior. At the front of the house is a master suite with an over-sized closet, large enough for two, and an attached master bathroom. The master bathroom is bright, glamorous and features an oversized shower with glass enclosure and floor-to-ceiling marble tile. The second bedroom is at the rear of the home and teems with natural light. Adjacent to the second bedroom is another full bathroom with geometric mosaic tile floors and a tub/shower with textured subway tile surround. At the bottom of the staircase is a laundry room, large enough to accommodate a side-by-side washer and dryer. At the top of the staircase is the second-story loft. This space is well-suited for a home office, entertainment or play area, fitness room or guest space. The possibilities are endless. Exterior updates include a new driveway, professional landscaping, a covered back deck with ceiling fan, privacy fencing, and a terraced back yard. Other notable upgrades include energy efficient windows, new plumbing, electrical and HVAC plus a new roof and foundation, to name a few.
