Description

Here's your chance to own a little bit of Athens history. The original two-story American Foursquare home was built in 1905. In 1966, the facade was altered by the addition of Colonial Revival elements. Now, a two story portico with four columns and a balustrade beneath a dormer with Palladian window.

In 2013, 196 East State Street was featured in the Holiday Historic Homes tour. The location is considered in the East State Street / Elmwood Place Historic District.

The current owners purchased the property in 2006. Since owning the property, they have renovated and restored the property tastefully for modern conveniences but as not to disrupt the original integrity of the property. The interior features lofty ceilings, original hardwood flooring, period decorative fireplace in the parlor. Stunning woodwork with built-in's in the living room that frame the entrance to the dining room. A butler pantry adjoins the dining room to the kitchen. A chef's delight kitchen has been professionally renovated with stainless appliances and solid surface counters. First floor laundry for the modern day family.

The second floor boasts four bedrooms all with hardwood floors. The owner's suite has two closets and a tucked away sitting room. You will be amazed with the amount of closet space. The third floor has been finished and includes a full bathroom. This can be used for a fifth bedroom, office or den.

Enjoy the front porch with friends and family. Beautifully landscaped and all yours. If you like to be close to uptown, shopping and to schools you are in the right place. Historic 196 East State Street. $279,500. Listing #215

    "very college oriented town, lots of farmers markets and breweries! safe and quiet mostly year round, students can cause an increase in music heard in the evenings but OU does not get out of control like it used to years ago. plenty of nature and wildlife around as well, you’ll be surprised at just how often you get to see deer in your own backyard!
