Beautiful 4 bedroom, 2 bath home in the heart of Normaltown. An urban gardener and landscape enthusiast's dream property, centrally located to all that makes living in Athens so special: within blocks of 33 acre Bishop Park ( which features green space, trails, picnic areas, pool, tennis/basketball courts, athletic fields, a gymnastics program, and a seasonal Saturday Farmer's Artist's market ), the beautiful 58 acre historic UGA Health Science and Medical college campus, the 40 acre Athens YMCA, Piedmont Regional hospital, restaurants, coffee, fresh juice, and entertainment venues, and minutes from Historic Downtown and UGA's main campus. This unique property was restored in 2010, with continuing upgrades being made, including new hvac system in 2025. It features a stylish interior, with a practical floor plan, including several flex rooms, and wonderful outdoor living spaces. Inside, the front of the house is open common living area; the living room has a fireplace with built-in cabinets/bookshelves on either side, and the adjoining dining room has 2 built-in corner cabinets. The kitchen has been updated with newer cabinets, black granite counters, nice stainless appliances ( gas stove, French door fridge ), tile backsplash, and under cabinet lighting. The rest of the main level has 2 bedrooms, a classic tile bath with herring bone floors & vintage tub/tile shower, a flex room off LR is ideal for an office/studio space, and connects to a large laundry room. The laundry room opens to a huge screen porch which stretches across the back of the house, and overlooks a privacy fenced back yard, full of unique features. Upstairs, there are 2 more bedrooms, including a large owner's suite with Birch floors, vaulted ceiling, a sitting area with built-in bookcase, a stylish tile bath, and large walk-in closet. Additionally, at the top of the stairs, there's a 4th bedroom, though it can also be used as a flex room for the owner's suite; it's been a music/tv room, an office, art studio, meditation, and guest space. Returning to main level, off kitchen, there's a door to an unfinished basement, which provides access to mechanicals and storage space. There's an abundance of storage space: a pull down staircase to attic in ceiling of back screen porch, several small doors in owner's suite access storage areas, and there's a storage shed behind house for tools, bicycles, etc. A few other notable features include a whole house water filtration system, a 2500 gallon rainwater collection cistern which can be used to irrigate landscape, raised garden beds, a chicken coup, 3 patios and paved walkways, a deck, covered areas for firewood storage, bikes, a swing, and the property has a plethora of bulbs/plants that should be revealing itself with the onset of Spring coming. Ultimately, this property sits in a wonderfully central in-town neighborhood, offers a floor plan with diversity of use, and has a landscape, designed with an array of outdoor rooms, areas to enjoy spending time outside, enjoying nature. What more could one ask for while living in Athens?
