About this House

This beautifully maintained 4 bedroom, 3 bath home offers over 2,000 square feet of living space plus the added bonus of a fully finished attic—making it the only home in this sought-after enclave with this unique extra square footage. Tucked at the end of a quiet, low-traffic street, this Craftsman-style cottage combines charm, space, and convenience in one of Athens' most beloved neighborhoods.

The charming flagstone path and classic front porch invite you into a light-filled open layout featuring hardwood floors throughout. The living and dining areas flow into a comfortable kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar. The main level includes three bedrooms, including a spacious owner’s suite with a walk-in closet, dual vanities, soaking tub, and tiled shower. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath, and a separate laundry and pantry add practical ease.

Upstairs, an expansive second primary suite spans the full top floor, complete with hardwoods, a walk-in closet, and a large ensuite bathroom.

Out back, enjoy a private deck that overlooks the fully fenced backyard—perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding. A deep drive-under garage offers secure parking and storage, with alley access and additional off-street parking available.

Incredible location—walkable to Normaltown, Boulevard, Prince Ave, and local favorites like cafes, yoga studios, and the Chase Street Warehouse District. Zoned for Chase Street Elementary and just minutes from downtown. Quiet, connected, and truly move-in ready.

    "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. "

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."
