Artistically renovated, Historic Boulevard home within walking distance to everything that makes In-Town Athens living desirable. The current owners have spent the last seven years saving this gem of a home to include new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and water heaters in addition to a full interior renovation/ restoration. Originally constructed as a boarding house and later a stacked duplex, the current owner has updated the layout to accommodate a single family living situation as well as an opportunity to have passive income by renting upstairs or downstairs separately. The lower level and upstairs front porches provide year round spaces for relaxation, while the back porches offer so much in terms of extra living space. Upon entry, the foyer and entry hallway features arched doorways, custom sconces and lighting, and exposed original wood paneling. At the end of the hallway is the open concept living room and kitchen. Multiple windows and a skylight make both spaces bright while wide plank oak flooring and paneled accent walls provide a warm and cozy feeling. Custom cabinetry, butcher block & soapstone countertops, copper backsplash, stainless steel appliances including an Italian gas stove, and custom lighting fixtures round out a very aesthetically pleasing kitchen. The first main floor bedroom is bright and quaint and features original tongue in groove walls & ceilings as well as an original, decorative fireplace and mantel. An updated full bathroom in the hallway features tub/shower combo with custom marble tile floors and tub surround. An exposed fireplace adds even more charm paired with a pedestal sink with brushed gold sink and bathroom hardware. Stacked laundry is also available in the hall bath, offering a convenient location. Opposite the bathroom is a home office or reading nook with paneled walls and stained glass windows. An additional bedroom on main has an ensuite half bath. Upstairs, a spacious and bright bedroom features original, painted wood floors and tongue in groove walls and ceilings. The second story front porch is accessed from the upstairs landing. Through a sitting room/ primary closet or fifth bedroom is a fully remodeled bathroom with a large shower. Beyond this area is an enormous Primary Suite/living space with vaulted ceiling, kitchenette, a large bonus loft space and private south facing deck. This large space could also be utilized as an income suite with a private entrance. The backyard is deep with many mature trees and plants as well as a unique retaining wall. The garden has been planted with many natives and features several magnolia trees which give the property more privacy. Moments from the restaurants, bars, and shops of Boulevard, New Town, Normaltown, and Downtown. Much attention to detail and the addition of artistic touches make this home shine! The home has had many major upgrades with fresh paint throughout- inside and out, much of the siding has been replaced on the exterior with cedar. Chattooga Avenue is a quiet, dead-end street with minimal traffic and friendly, creative neighbors.
