Description

Check out this bright and airy, beautifully renovated classic mill house cottage just two blocks from Downtown Athens. Owned and thoughtfully restored by a craftsman as a primary residence, and occasionally used as a successful Airbnb, this home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of classic Athens charm in an unbeatable location. Inside, you’ll find 9-foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, and abundant natural light. The layout is open and functional, with comfortable living and bedroom spaces and a galley area that includes a washer and dryer. The kitchen and bathroom have been tastefully updated with clean, practical finishes and just the right amount of personality. The exterior is just as inviting. A stunning Japanese maple and fresh sod create a warm welcome, while multiple outdoor living spaces make this home perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Enjoy the screened front porch with a bed swing, or unwind on the covered back porch featuring an outdoor kitchen, TV, and celebrity hot tub. The spacious yard offers plenty of room for gardening, games, and gatherings, complete with a basketball goal, tree swing, and ample off-street parking. A fenced side yard provides an ideal space for pets or projects. Located near the Greenway, Firefly Trail, UGA, parks, music venues, and all that Downtown Athens has to offer, this home seamlessly blends historic character with modern convenience. This is a special one—don’t miss it.
