Historic mill cottage on peaceful wooded lot, just a 5 minute drive to UGA Vet School, Milledge Extension, and Eastside amenities (Kroger, Publix, Walgreens, restaurants and more); 10 minute drive to UGA main campus and around the corner from the UGA Botanical Gardens and forestry school facilities. Tucked away off Whitehall road, the private lot and large front porch offer the feel of forest retreat while being just a five minute drive to the Loop. Original features from 1900 provide charm throughout coupled with modern conveniences: recent renovations throughout, updated appliances, in-unit washer and dryer, dishwasher, and ample off-street parking.
An ideal space for veterinary, professional, and graduate students, this 1500 sq.foot space can be rented either as a traditional 3 bedroom unit or as two private suites offering the feel of a small one-bedroom apartment for each renter: each would have their own separate entrance to house, a master bedroom, office/living room, 2 closets, and full bath; in this configuration, the kitchen and dining room area would be shared. Can be rented partially or fully furnished for an additional monthly charge.
A section of yard will be fenced and pets are welcome (with pet deposit).
Year lease with option to sublet summers (with landlord approval and sublease agreement signed by summer tenant).
August 1 2025 start date with some room to negotiate. $50 application fee applied towards first month rent if renter is approved. Security deposit of one month's rent ($2200) due upon signing of lease.
We, the owners, are moving for work and are hoping to find tenants who will enjoy and care for the house we've put out hearts into restoring, as well as who will appreciate the quiet residential surroundings and be respectful of the friendly neighbors.
If interested in viewing, please send a message letting us know a little bit about yourself and your schedule.
