270 Highland Ave, Athens, OH 45701

This custom designed, “earth-friendly” home on Athens’ upper Northside walks the walk when it comes to green/sustainable living. First are the many construction features (ATO): highly insulated shell, no chemically-treated woods, traditional stucco, hardwood floors with radiant heat system, high efficiency air exchanger, dual flush toilets, locally harvested (from the backyard, no less!) walnut trim, and more. Next comes the bio-diverse yard, with towering sycamores that provide a verdant canopy, an easy-to-maintain yard, composting areas, extensive chemical-free vegetable and flower beds, including both traditional and frame-raised beds. And then there’s performance: ATO, this comfortably-sized home averaged less than $78 per month for gas & electric COMBINED in 2007! These features don’t come at the expense of comfort and aesthetics, however. Boasting over 2000 SF of living space, with 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, this home has an open design with an accessible first floor, and features hardwood floors, beautiful maple kitchen cabinets and stunning solid core doors. The upstairs larger BR includes an attached study, and the unfinished basement is already plumbed for a third full bath.Put all this together and then situate the house on a quiet street in a friendly neighborhood (ATO), with a quaint alley in back of the house, and close proximity to Highland Park, and you’ve got a package unlike any other now available within the Athens City limits. Call Russell today to schedule a visit to this unique and comfortable property!
