About this House

Surround yourself with the timeless beauty and elegance of this Craftsman cottage perched atop a shady corner lot on Athens storied Oglethorpe Avenue. This old soul boasts a playful floor plan inviting you and your guests to soak in the heart pine floors, lofty 12 ceilings, period light fixtures, ample natural light and miles of gorgeous trim work. The two generously sized bedrooms flank a central parlor that leads into a bright dining room adjoining a peaceful outdoor deck and firepit via French doors. A cheery kitchen with large terra-cotta floor tiles features a farmhouse sink overlooking mature trees. To each side find hand crafted salvaged pine cabinets and a custom-built kitchen island topped with walnut butcher block. Bring your books and curios for the handsome built-in cabinet in the living room, spark up a fire in the updated gas fireplace, and run a bath in the clawfoot tub surrounded with wainscot atop the pinwheel tile floor. You may never want to leave this haven but one of Athens most desired neighborhoods awaits! Enjoy the many restaurants, bars and shops of the charming Normaltown commercial district. Chose between two local swimming pools after tennis, pickleball or many other activities at Bishop Park and the Athens YMCA before picking up your local produce and artisan crafts at the Athens Farmers Market. Keep in mind all of these Athens gems are located within 1 mile of this property! As far as value goes, weve got you covered. New tankless water heater, well-maintained HVAC and immediate proximity to the UGA Health Sciences Campus and Piedmont Regional Hospital is a strong selling suit. To top it off, this property grossed well over 7k in just 11 days of rental in 2025 as an owner-occupied short term rental! They just dont build them like this anymore. Let this one-of-a-kind home be your Shangri-La!

    "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."
