About This Home
As of February 2023Century-plus charm abounds in this mindfully updated two-bedroom, one-bathroom Athens cottage, conveniently located near everything that makes life beautiful! Nestled on a fenced and shady corner lot with walkway lighting, this cottage is within walking distance of the heart of Normaltown with numerous local restaurants, live music venues and easy proximity to the UGA Medical School and Health Sciences campus. You’ll also be a short walk to Bishop Park and the incredible farmers’ market. Simply step through the front door into the classic wide central hall for your first glimpse of the period woodwork and original design in this home, which also features 12-foot ceilings and oak/heart pine flooring throughout. You’ll immediately be drawn to the living room, which features an updated fireplace and antique bookshelf/cabinetry. To the right you’ll find the first of two bedrooms. This one is oversized and airy with multiple windows and a large closet for storage. The second bedroom is also spacious, with natural light and a ceiling fan. Continue on to the kitchen, which includes custom reclaimed pine cabinetry, a gorgeous farmhouse apron sink, and high-end stainless-steel appliances, including a Jenn Air gas stove and refrigerator and dishwasher. The kitchen is accented with terra-cotta tile flooring. A separate dining area offers a gorgeous environment for dining and entertaining with French doors leading outside. The renovated bathroom includes retro tile floors, a custom vanity with vessel sink and a claw-foot tub with shower, in keeping with the historic nature of the home. As a bonus, this home will be worry free for years with the new roof, new exterior paint, updated fence, and new HVAC system. There’s also room for three cars to park on this lot. While the interior of the cottage is completely charming, the multiple outdoor living spaces will seal this deal. An oversized, shady front porch is quite private, incredible for relaxing and recharging. The fenced-in, absolutely private backyard is an entertainer’s paradise, with a back porch, private dining space and firepit/lounge area. Time to fire up the barbeque and invite some friends over for a housewarming party!
