Early 1900s cottage located across the street from the river, Greenway Trails and park that define the eastern edge of downtown Athens. This property can either be sold 'as-is' for $150,000 or will be completely restored with a master suite added to rear of house, thus creating a 3/2 artfully restored home on a sleepy side street in the heart of downtown. The restoration can be modified to a Buyer's tastes if they become involved early enough in the restoration process. Currently, the plan calls for a stylish new kitchen (including appliances) and 2 baths, new galvalume metal roof, new wood windows, all new electrical, plumbing, heat/air, new insulation, wood floors throughout, all new and stylish lighting & plumbing fixtures, new exterior & interior paint. It may be possible to build a detached garage which would be a rarity for downtown! Seller has an excellent reputation for restoring historic era homes, blending older materials with artful contemporary elements, energy efficiencies & conveniences. While this has served as a residential property it does have downtown commercial zoning.
