While original construction at 1540 East Broad likely dates back to the turn of the century, this lovely property has been like new since its back to the studs renovation in 2004. New electrical, new plumbing, new insulation, new HVAC, refinished hardwoods, two bathroom remodels, a remodeled kitchen with new appliances and fresh paint from a warm Santa Fe palate. Since the complete restoration by a professional contractor was completed this home has been one owner and owner occupied and it shows wonderfully. Much of the period specific charm remains. The large front porch is covered, deep and private and spans the width of the house. The 10' ceilings are consistent throughout. In some rooms the original tongue and groove beadboard ceilings have been preserved, in others reclaimed, wide plank pine has been stripped to its natural color and varnished, creating ceilings that are like large art pieces. As one would expect the rooms are large and the floorplan flows nicely. The yard is oversized relative to anything this close to downtown, is private, and slopes gently away from the house. All the understory growth has been cleared and fruit trees and hardwoods grace the property. Don't forget the easy access to UGA, Historic Downtown Athens, Dudley Park, East Athens Park, The Athens Greenway and the North Oconee River. The only surprise here is the motivated pricing! You won't find this much house for the money this close to everything Athens anywhere else.
