147 1st St, Athens, GA 30601

Available August 1. Pet-friendly and about as close to Downtown as you can possibly get (without living directly downtown), this professionally renovated mill house is only 3 lots from the Oconee River/Greenway trails and is an easy walk to downtown and to UGA's north campus. The 100 year old mill house backs up to 5 wooded, federally protected acres, reportedly the site of a civil war bunker. It is really the best of both worlds as you sit back off the road, surrounded by nature but are a quick walk to coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, UGA's North Campus, etc. Sunset views are amazing. The home has wood floors throughout, tile bath, all appliances, and the original fireplace mantles. The bedrooms are large, Victorian sized-bedrooms with high ceilings and built-in closets. The yard is classically landscaped with big pecan trees, heirloom roses and azaleas bushes that reach to the roof of the house (see photos). The house features 200 SF of porch/deck space. The house sits up on a hill and the front porch has sprawling views but maintains privacy from neighbors and the street/sidewalk. The front yard is fenced-in and the house is pet-friendly. There is also an outbuilding in the backyard (see photos--it measures approximately 8'x10') that is perfect for storing bikes, art supplies, camping equipment, etc. Appliances include: washer, dryer, dishwasher, gas stove, refrigerator. Other items included: year-round pest control, year-round yard maintenance, outbuilding for storage (bikes, etc). This is a unique opportunity for anyone wanting an in-town experience. Maximum occupancy: 2. Parking available for 2-3 cars in driveway. Lawn maintenance and pest control provided by landlord
