Practically Normaltown without the Normaltown price! Welcome to 980 Oglethorpe Avenue, the most charming brick cottage for only $350k! With 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, fully renovated and a private backyard, this home checks all the boxes and is just around the corner from all Normaltown has to offer. 1960s brick ranches are always a solid bet, but this one ups the ante: The white painted exterior with dark trim and tasteful landscaping are eye-catching, and the attached carport provides covered parking. Inside, gorgeous hardwood floors run throughout the home and natural light flows in from the huge windows. The renovated kitchen features quartz countertops, subway tile, brass hardware and a gas range. The dining and living rooms are open to the kitchen and make entertaining a breeze. A convenient laundry closet is tucked next to the kitchen as well. Three bedrooms and two full baths are located down the hall, including a primary suite. Both baths feature tile floors and shower surrounds with modern cottage styling. Outside, the backyard is private and ready for morning coffee or evenings with friends and family. The backyard is almost fully fenced and can easily accommodate any furry friends. Plus, the renovations on this home go beyond just aesthetics: the architectural shingle roof is 3 years old, the HVAC is 4 years old, there is newer plumbing and electric throughout and there is an active termite bond. Did we mention location?! Sidewalk access brings you to Bishop Park for the Athens Farmers Market, YMCA, summer nights at Automatic Pizza + Normal Bar, and popups at the Old Pal. Piedmont Hospital is just a few blocks further, and Downtown Athens and the University of Georgia are only a couple miles away. Dont wait to see this awesome value for in-town living in Athens!
