Description
If youve been holding your breath for an adorable In-Town Athens cottage, there comes a point when, as the late Whitney Houston would say, you EXHALE and that time is now! This charmer has it all. The well thought out floor plan makes the house live bigger than its actual size. To top it off, there are three outdoor living spaces - a front, newly rebuilt deck with room for table and chairs, a side deck, and finally, a 12x20 screened porch. Shaded by several mature trees, the screened porch can be enjoyed year round! The curated perennials and other mature landscaping are just an added bonus. Back inside, the living and dining areas are visually two distinct areas but one open concept space. The galley kitchen features custom beadboard cabinets, concrete countertops, gas range/oven, and a bright breakfast nook with multiple windows overlooking the lovely landscaping. Down the center hallway are two sizable bedrooms, one with access to the screened porch. The bathroom has tons of charm with an antique pine built-in for storage, artisan tiles in the shower, and Saltillo tile floors. Laundry closet is deep and opposite the bathroom. Fun fact about the Satillo terracotta tiles in the kitchen and bathroom:When the wet clay tiles are laid in wide-open spaces where they semi-dry in the sun, critters roam around at night and leave their marks. Once the tiles are dry enough to move to a kiln, they are removed from the ground and kiln-fired to harden fully. If youre superstitious, it is rumored that Saltillo tile paw prints are the protectors of the home where theyre laid. So check out the dog paw prints in the kitchen as well as the chicken claw prints! The fully fenced backyard also features a "She Shed" that is wired and could easily be upgraded to become a small studio space or writing room. HVAC system replaced in 2022! Decks rebuilt in 2024! This home is move-in ready! Come see this one before its gone! Located a stones throw to The Greenway, Dudley Park, Virginia Walker Park, Downtown Athens, and The University of Georgia!
