Cobbham has no shortage of beautiful old homes. What it has very few of are houses like 847 Meigs Street: built in 2013 by Bell Construction as the builder’s private residence, but designed from the beginning to feel entirely at home in one of Athens’ most established historic neighborhoods. The details that give the house its character aren’t decorative gestures added after the fact. They’re part of the architecture: a brick-paver entry hall, stained and leaded glass, transoms, oversized solid-wood pocket doors, and antique elements incorporated throughout. The main level follows a classic central-hall plan, with distinct rooms that connect naturally rather than disappearing into one enormous open space. The central hall is laid in brick pavers, with Brazilian cherry floors throughout much of the surrounding main level. Ten-foot ceilings, substantial doors, and millwork give the rooms presence without making them feel overly formal. A masonry fireplace anchors the main living room. At the rear, the sunroom—with its own dedicated heating and cooling—turns toward the garden. Natural light makes it an especially good place to read, work, or simply disappear for a while. The kitchen has custom cabinetry and marble countertops. Also on the main level, the primary suite sits at the rear of the house near the sunroom, set apart in a private hall behind a pocket door. The bath has a large walk-in tiled shower and recently refreshed vanity. Beyond it, the walk-in closet system is fitted with drawers, shelving, shoe storage, and multiple hanging areas. Upstairs, the house takes on a slightly different character, with solid red oak floors and 9-foot ceilings. A built-in desk occupies the landing, with a full tiled bath nearby. One bedroom sits just off the landing; on the other side, adjoining rooms offer useful space for bedrooms, an office, or studio. Oversized closets in the adjoining rooms, along with floored attic space, provide substantial additional storage. Outside, the entire house has just been repainted. Professionally landscaped and irrigated grounds include established plantings, a fenced backyard, and Trex deck. A long, gated driveway provides generous off-street parking. The less romantic details are awfully nice to own: Hardie plank siding, insulated windows, spray-foam insulation, and Trane HVAC systems. They aren’t what you’ll notice first. And then there is Meigs Street itself. This quieter edge of Cobbham has a distinctly residential feel, with mature landscaping and the varied architecture that gives the neighborhood its character. Downtown Athens, Normaltown, and Five Points are all close at hand, but the immediate surroundings are unmistakably Cobbham. Some houses are simply dropped into a neighborhood. 847 Meigs was designed for this one.

Skip the renovation drama and the long commute. This one is ready to move right in, with a main level designed for actual life, a convenient half bath and a dedicated office for working from home without sacrificing room for dining...a laundry room and a pantry round off the main level. Then there’s the living room, and this is where the house shows off. A wall of oversized windows brings in an incredible amount of natural light while framing lush woods directly behind the home. Translation: serious treehouse vibes, zero rear neighbors, and absolutely no need for curtains unless the squirrels start getting judgmental. Step onto the back deck and enjoy coffee, cocktails or dinner with a view that’s basically nature’s version of a privacy fence. Upstairs, the oversized primary suite feels like a retreat, complete with a massive walk in closet that could easily moonlight as your private dressing area, yoga spot, reading nook, music room, craft space...closed off from the rest of the house :). Downstairs, flexible living space offers endless options. Think home gym, movie lounge, creative studio, game room or the designated hangout zone everyone mysteriously migrates to. All this on a quiet cul de sac with quick access to the Loop, making Downtown Athens, UGA, Alps Shopping Center and Kroger an easy drive. Bishop Park is just minutes away for trails, fresh air and weekend dog walks. Move in ready. Cul de sac quiet. Woods out back. Space to grow in a welcoming neighborhood with access to a community saltwater pool and super low fees.

Here's an Athens home with a combination of features you don't see every day at this price point. This 3 bedroom, 2 bath home offers comfortable one-level living in a location that's super convenient to Downtown Athens, UGA, shopping, dining and everything else that makes Athens easy to enjoy. Inside, the open floor plan gives you a lovely large living area with plenty of room to spread out, gather with friends or create separate living and dining spaces. The kitchen is open to the main living area and offers abundant cabinet and counter space along with a large island/breakfast bar. LVT flooring runs throughout the home, so there's no carpet anywhere. The home also includes several adaptive features, including some lowered kitchen cabinetry and an oversized roll-in shower. Combined with the one-level floor plan, open living space and hard-surface flooring throughout, these features add flexibility that can work for a variety of needs. There's good living space outside, too. The former carport has been converted into a large screened porch, creating a great spot for morning coffee, outdoor dining or just hanging out without the bugs. Out back, the fenced yard offers room for pets, gardening or play, and the rear patio is covered. And there's one more feature that's easy to overlook until you're standing in the front yard: the view across the street is trees, not another row of houses. Giving the home an unexpected green view in such a convenient in-town location. If you've been looking for an affordable Athens home with three bedrooms, two baths, one-level living and a little more flexibility than the typical floor plan, this one deserves a look.
