About this House

A Chicopee Dudley Diamond in the rough located blocks from downtown, Greenway Trails, Dudley Park, Walker Park, north campus, and the multimodal transportation center. This 1928 mill house with a shared driveway has the same charm as it did when it was first built with its beadboard walls, tall ceilings, large windows, heart pine floors, and a large, screened front porch elevated above the street and a view of downtown from the back porch. Original features include original six over six windows, tongue and groove bead board walls and ceilings, six over six windows. Fireplace surrounds and mantles, with a chimney insert for a wood stove in the living room. Even the original dust boxes are stored in the attic, which is large enough for a possible loft. The backyard has stone accents, multi-level garden terraces replenished annually with compost, and enough room for a guest cottage or studio. This home is habitable, but does have some deferred maintenance including past termite damage.
181 First Street, Athens, GA 30601 is a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom single-family home built in 1936. It last sold for the $220,000 asking price on Jul 15, 2024. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $261,800, with a rent estimate of $1,815/month.

    "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."

But I do love boulevard and surrounding area. Have lived in this area for 17 years. I hear the school district is great. And being able to walk to downtown is fantastic."

    "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. "

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."
