About this home
Step into a home that truly has a soul. Located just moments from The Loop, Downtown Athens, and the University of Georgia, this well-preserved mid-century brick ranch offers a rare blend of vintage craftsmanship and modern versatility. Your experience begins at the covered front porch, greeting you with the original front door flanked by three vertical sidelights, a hallmark of mid-century design. Inside, you are immediately welcomed by original hardwood floors and pristine stained millwork that flows seamlessly from room to room. Unlike new construction, this wood trim provides a warmth and durability that stands the test of time. The living room is expansive, bathed in natural light, and connects to the dining area through a classic arched opening, making the floorplan feel open yet distinct, perfect for entertaining. The kitchen balances preservation with modern necessity. It features handmade wood cabinets that have been meticulously cared for, updated penny tile flooring, and tile countertops with a backsplash that adds a pop of personality. Stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher, are included. Down the hallway, free of carpet and rich with original trim, you will find three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The primary living quarters are notable for a specific value-add: the current owner converted a large closet into a functional half-bathroom. Adorned with fun, striped tile, this powder room is a rare convenience for a home of this era in this neighborhood. The full hall bathroom retains its vintage tile charm but features an updated vanity and toilet. The third bedroom offers unique character with original paneled accents, freshly painted to highlight the room's texture. Buying a vintage home often comes with maintenance concerns, but this home is ready for you. It features a recently replaced roof, electrical, HVAC & hot water heater, ensuring the "bones" are as good as the aesthetics. Perhaps the most unexpected aspect of this property is the massive potential in the backyard. A separate driveway leads to a large, detached building that is drywalled and has its own power meter. Currently divided into three separate spaces, this structure is a chameleon. It can serve as a rental unit (as the current owner has done), a dedicated home office, a hobby workshop, or a "she-shed." The separate metering makes income generation simple and manageable. Additional highlights include a single-car carport, dedicated laundry room, and a screened backyard gazebo for spring evenings; this property is more than a home; it is a smart investment in a prime Athens location. All appliances convey. Come see how mid-century charm meets modern flexibility.
