3 Beds 3 Baths CL364607 MLS ACTIVE Status 1,850 SqFt. 1999 Year Built
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, rage room or 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.

3 Beds 2 Baths CL364676 MLS ACTIVE Status 1,224 SqFt. 1999 Year Built
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.
