What's special
Discover the ideal blend of comfort and convenience in this true townhome in the heart of downtown Athens. Boasting a double lot, this corner unit offers land and residence ownership with no HOA to worry about. The freshly renovated two-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom home is a stone's throw away from the University of Georgia, making it perfect for UGA enthusiasts and downtown dwellers. Recently used as a short-term rental, this townhome offers incredible potential owner- occupied living or as a revenue generator, especially with its proximity to planned Athens redevelopment.
Step inside to a clean, neutral palette. The main living space has LVP throughout. The main floor includes a fully updated kitchen with appliances and crisp white cabinetry. The open flow from the dining area to the nice-sized main living area and convenient powder room is great for everyday living. Upstairs, you’ll find two carpeted bedrooms and a full bath.
Outdoor living is a breeze with a covered patio, providing a terrific space to entertain, barbecue, or simply relax in the shade. A patio-adjacent utility room includes a washer and dryer, adding to the ease of your move-in experience. Enjoy the privacy of a fenced backyard, with the added perk of two parking spaces and the potential to expand to four, making hosting guests or short-term rentals hassle-free. As an added bonus, the home comes fully furnished, making it move-in or market-ready for rental reservations.
The excitement continues beyond your doorstep. The North Downtown Athens Redevelopment project across the street promises a high-end shopping, dining, and residential experience, ensuring the area's growth and vibrancy. The property is also conveniently adjacent to the Lyndon House Arts Center, meaning cultural and art activities are a short walk away. Ideal for a variety of needs, this townhome has proven its versatility as a primary residence, rental property, or a coveted spot for game-day stays. With its unbeatable location, eight blocks from the iconic UGA Arch, and within walking distance to future city parks, this townhome is not just a living space but a gateway to the pulse of downtown Athens. Don't miss out – schedule a showing to fully appreciate what this gem offers.
