About This Home

Discover a rare opportunity in the heart of Athens! This 4-sided brick building offers 2450sq ft of versatile space, currently designed for worship. Zoned RS-8, the property opens the door to a variety of potential uses. The interior features a spacious auditorium with solid wood pews that comfortably seat approximately 100, complete with a pulpit and baptistry. Beyond the main hall, you'll find 5 classrooms, an office/workroom, and two restrooms-each with 2 toilets and a sink. A water fountain in the hallway adds convenience for guests. Practical updates include a roof that's just 1 year old, while the building itself is handicap accessible with a large ramp leading from the paved parking lot. The property also boasts significant road frontage for visibility and easy access. Located less than half a mile from Loop 10 and just minutes from Downtown Athens, Normaltown, and Alps Road, this prime location combines high exposure with convenience. Whether continuing its use as a place of worship or reimagining the space for new purposes, 975 Oglethorpe Ave presents an outstanding opportunity in a thriving community.
