Description

Back and better than ever! This beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in the established Forest Heights neighborhood offers the perfect blend of modern upgrades, functional space, and an unbeatable central location in Athens. Featuring approximately 2,400 square feet plus nearly 1,000 square feet of walkout basement space, this split-level home provides flexible living options ideal for entertaining, working from home, or creating additional recreation space. Recent upgrades include a newly renovated upstairs bathroom, updated kitchen flooring, and new countertops that give the home a fresh, move-in-ready feel. The main dividing wall has been removed to create an open-concept living area filled with natural light and designed for modern living and entertaining. The spacious kitchen and living areas flow seamlessly together, making this home perfect for gatherings with family and friends. Outside, enjoy a completely level and fenced backyard with multiple outdoor living spaces. Relax on the elevated back deck overlooking the yard or unwind beneath the covered brick paver patio below — an ideal setup for outdoor dining, entertaining, or quiet evenings at home. Both the upstairs and downstairs bedroom areas offer access to beautifully remodeled full bathrooms, creating excellent flexibility for guests, families, or multi-generational living. The convenient half bath and laundry area are located just off the kitchen near the entry to the attached two-car garage. Located just seconds from the Loop and minutes from the hospital area, Normaltown, Alps Road shopping and dining, and the University of Georgia, this home combines updated features, generous space, and one of the most convenient locations in Athens real estate.
