A rare opportunity awaits to live on one of the most sought-after streets in Athens, where strolling to restaurants and shops in Five Points is only steps away! The sidewalk lined streets are perfect for evening walks or teaching your children or grandchildren how to ride a bike. From the moment you walk through the arched front door, you will fall in love with this charming cottage built in 1938. The inviting living room, anchored by a gas fireplace, features additional arched doorways leading to the sunroom, dining room and hallway. The bright and airy dining room, bathed in natural light from three large windows, connects seamlessly to the well-appointed kitchen. Boasting a center island with a breakfast bar, the kitchen also features a designer gold light fixture, built-in dog crate, banquette seating and a walk-in pantry. This light airy room has white cabinets, white tile back splash and white solid surface countertops. Towards the rear of the home, youll find a laundry room, a cozy office and a spacious half bath with designer wall paper. The ultimate gathering space is the great room which is complete with a built-in bar nook, a fireplace with new gas logs and space for a game or puzzle table. This room is perfect for entertaining with two French doors leading to the back screen porch. As you open the door to the screened porch, you might hear the roar from Sanford Stadium, Foley Field, and the Dan Magill Tennis Center on game days! The main floor has nine foot ceilings, hardwood floors throughout and most rooms have been newly painted. This floor also features three bedrooms, including a former primary suite with its own bath, plus two additional bedrooms that share a hallway bathroom with a new marble countertop. Upstairs, the current primary suite offers new carpet, walk-in closets, a sitting area and an expansive en suite bath. You will also enjoy having a second room upstairs that could be used as a nursery, playroom, office or additional bedroom. There is a large closet currently being used for storage, but has the ability to be a second laundry room. A rare find in Five Points, the basement provides ample storage along with a coveted two-car garage. This brick home offers a low maintenance exterior and the windows have recently been repainted. The front and backyard have new landscaping, a new front walkway and an electric gate for the driveway. On cold nights you can gather around the backyard firepit. If you are looking for extra space look no further with a versatile outbuilding ideal for a workshop, art studio or home office. Act fast and youll be cheering on the Dawgs from your front yard as the team buses roll by on their way to Sanford Stadium.
