This is the kind of house that feels like home the moment you walk in. Located on Athens' scenic east side, it’s full of character and charm. The unique architecture gives it a one-of-a-kind feel, with angles, nooks, and corners that are a rare find in this price range.
Step inside, and you’re greeted by warm wood paneling in the foyer that sets the tone for the rest of the house. The living room features vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams and a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, making it a natural gathering spot. The flow of the home is fantastic—each space connects effortlessly to the next, perfect for both relaxing and entertaining.
The kitchen is roomy and functional, with crisp white cabinets, granite countertops, and brand-new appliances. A cozy breakfast nook is the perfect spot for morning coffee or quick meals. Right next to it, the formal dining room is flooded with natural light thanks to three oversized windows.
From the living room, French doors lead out to a covered deck that stretches the full length of the house. The view? Pure nature. There’s nothing to block it, just a peaceful, wooded setting that’s hard to come by.
The main bedroom is conveniently located on the main floor, complete with an ensuite bath and its own stone fireplace—a cozy retreat for chilly nights.
Upstairs, a loft overlooks the living room, bathed in natural light from transom windows. The wood detailing adds so much warmth to the space. Two spacious bedrooms share a connecting bathroom, rounding out the second floor.
The lot is generously sized with plenty of potential for outdoor living or other projects. With a 2-year-old roof, new appliances, and fresh paint inside and out, this home is move-in ready and waiting for its next owner.
If you’re looking for a home with beautiful architecture, great flow, and a cozy vibe, this is the one. Schedule your showing today! xx
