Athens, GA 30601

This turn of the century Folk Victorian is the quintessential historic Athens home you've been waiting for! Move-in ready condition with fresh paint inside and out. The exterior paint colors were chosen as an homage to the funky and fun colors of "Old Athens" and true to the historic period. A covered front porch with unique millwork and brick walkway made from Augusta red brick from the old chimney overlooks the front yard full of perennials that bring months of enjoyment come spring. Through a stained-glass front door, enter the open Greatroom with restored original heart pine floors with a custom oak inlay, and built-in bookshelves that line the walls. Designed to stay cooler in the summer, 15ft ceilings highlight transoms and windows that open from top and bottom, and stained trim accents the many windows and doors. Spacious kitchen with hardwood flooring and many cabinets has room for a center island and features stainless steel sink with drainboard and a gas stove. The central bathroom boasts the original deep clawfoot tub, pedestal sink, and laundry. This home totals three bedrooms, one bathroom, and 1,282 square feet of living space. At the rear of the home is a large screened porch that overlooks the backyard. Be not deceived - this is a deep lot with room to expand the house or usable yard space if desired. Conveniently located and walkable to The University of Georgia, Downtown Athens restaurants, and The North Oconee Greenway. Adjacent two additional, buildable lots are available for purchase.
