Description

While original construction at 1540 East Broad likely dates back to the turn of the century, this lovely property has been like new since its back to the studs renovation in 2004. New electrical, new plumbing, new insulation, new HVAC, refinished hardwoods, two bathroom remodels, a remodeled kitchen with new appliances and fresh paint from a warm Santa Fe palate. Since the complete restoration by a professional contractor was completed this home has been one owner and owner occupied and it shows wonderfully. Much of the period specific charm remains. The large front porch is covered, deep and private and spans the width of the house. The 10' ceilings are consistent throughout. In some rooms the original tongue and groove beadboard ceilings have been preserved, in others reclaimed, wide plank pine has been stripped to its natural color and varnished, creating ceilings that are like large art pieces. As one would expect the rooms are large and the floorplan flows nicely. The yard is oversized relative to anything this close to downtown, is private, and slopes gently away from the house. All the understory growth has been cleared and fruit trees and hardwoods grace the property. Don't forget the easy access to UGA, Historic Downtown Athens, Dudley Park, East Athens Park, The Athens Greenway and the North Oconee River. The only surprise here is the motivated pricing! You won't find this much house for the money this close to everything Athens anywhere else.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

    "Very safe and kinda friendly but most folks do keep to themselves or interact with their own family. There is only a very light traffic of homeowners in my subdivision but unfortunately there are no sidewalks or play areas for the kids. Folks walk their dogs in the street. Children play in their own front or back yards it seems. You rarely see or hear them out and they won’t recognize you as a neighbor. This is unfortunate but typical of neighborhoods in this area and in the South."

    "More and more people are living here but the roads are staying the same size since the past 30 years. Traffic can be horrible going to work in the morning, and getting off work, from 4pm to 6pm, forget going anywhere. Depending what part of Athens you’re in, will effect your view on Athens. There’s a poor lifestyle and there’s a wealthy lifestyle to this town. Slowly Athens is updating its lifestyle to fit wealthy families. It sure is a college town, and traffic is much better once the college students are out of town. I’ve lived here my whole life so I know where to go and where not to go. I’ve seen girls/college girls out walking in places they shouldn’t have been walking (out of town ppl don’t know any better) but they think since it’s a college town it’s ok, and that’s where they’re wrong. Overall nice town but way too crowded. "

    "Our current neighborhood isn’t that great. There’s not a lot of courtesy that gets displayed between residents, it’s in a sketchy part of town, and there have been a few crimes that have occurred here in a short amount of time. Would not recommend raising your children here. Also the public schools are terrible."
