Some properties require imagination. At 530 Holman Avenue, possibility is already built in. The original 1950 cottage still feels like itself. The proportions are intact. Newer divided-light windows soften the daylight, warm wood floors run through the living spaces, and the brick fireplace continues to anchor the living room. The kitchen and baths are updated without asking the house to become something it isnt. Stone counters, white cabinetry, brass-toned hardware, layered lighting, and an easy connection to the dining area give the house what it needs now without sanding down what was already there. A screened porch, basement storage, a newer roof, recently replaced water heater, and a French drain system reflect years of steady stewardship rather than last-minute preparation. Then the property evolves. Completed in 2020, the detached accessory dwelling extends the property in a way thats increasingly difficult to find. The lower level is a conditioned workshop with oversized windows, a mini-split system, hot water, a half bath, recessed lighting, and enough room to actually work. Whether thats woodworking, bicycles, furniture restoration, art, gardening, or simply a place to leave projects out between weekends, its a room that earns its square footage. A framed opening also allows for a future staircase, creating the option to connect the workshop directly to the living space above. Climb the stairs, and the atmosphere changes completely. Painted shiplap, warm wood ceilings, stained wood doors, dark cabinetry, patterned tile, black fixtures, and windows looking into the trees give the space a personality all its own. The apartment includes a living room with a built-in sleeping nook, a kitchenette, an office, a full bath, laundry, and a private deck. It doesnt feel like leftover space. It feels like someone built a place they genuinely wanted to spend time. The remarkable thing about this property isnt that it gives you options; its that someone already did the difficult work of imagining them for you. The cottage welcomes everyday life. The workshop invites projects that would overwhelm a garage. The apartment offers genuine privacy. Together they make room for family, guests, work, creativity, storage, and supplemental income without asking you to start from scratch. Just blocks from Normaltown restaurants, Bishop Park, Piedmont Athens Regional, and downtown Athens, the location is every bit as compelling as the property itself. Holman Avenue has long been one of Athens most admired in-town streets, valued as much for its sense of neighborhood as its proximity. Pair that setting with a restored cottage and a fully realized detached accessory dwelling, and the result is a property thats remarkably difficult to replicate.

Unique In-town property, which consists of: Beautiful 2007 custom-built, Low Country home, on a rare, over 1 acre lot, in a tranquil, beautifully landscaped setting, privately distanced from the public street, and includes a guest cottage built in 2017. Lush outdoor space with 4 porches, a 360' front porch, with 13' ceilings with exposed rafters and huge 10 x 10 columns; large enough to accommodate a large harvest table for entertainment on one side, and a common living area (rocking chairs, swing, Charleston style porch bed for napping). Additionally, there's a large 289' rear screened porch with vaulted ceilings and exposed rafters, a balcony porch off Owners suite bedroom that overlooks the rear courtyard, and the guest cottage has a rocking chair front porch. With metal roofs, the porches are a cozy setting for listening to the rain. Lot is privacy fenced, thoughtfully landscaped, has a large courtyard with stone fire pit and dining area, a stone bar with outdoor grill, a children's recreation area (great location for a pool), old growth trees, formal paths, all illuminated with landscape lighting. Moving inside, the front porch opens to a vast common area which includes wide plank wood floors, a coffered ceiling, the room wrapped in large windows capped with transoms, which cloak the room with an abundance of natural light. There's a brick masonry fireplace/chimney that anchors one end of this communal area, and a stylish open staircase on the other end; this common area opens to a chef's kitchen to the rear, which features a Five Star gas range, Dacor fridge, a stainless deep well commercial sink, granite counters, movable island, and pantry/laundry room. There's a deluxe Owners suite off of the communal area, transitioning thru a flex room that could be used in a variety of ways: an office, art studio, home gym. Owners suite has vaulted 16" exposed beam ceilings, and a French door opening to a balcony porch that overlooks the courtyard. The owners bath has 2 walk-in closets and vanities, a claw foot tub underneath a bank of windows, and an 8' walk-in stone shower w bench seat and 2 shower heads. Upstairs there are 2 nice sized bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath that features a wonderful large tile shower, with glass slider door, bench seat, overhead shower head, and 2 large windows that crank out. Behind the main house, there's a 350' guest cottage which has been used as an Airbnb rental, generating apx 25k/yr. It's currently a 1/1, though there is an apx 200' climate controlled storage room on the rear of the cottage that could easily be finished as a 2nd bedroom. Located in the heart of Normaltown, it's only blocks from Bishop Park, popular restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, a historic 58 acre UGA Health Science campus, Piedmont regional hospital, a 40 acre YMCA, and is located apx 2 miles from Downtown Athens and the University of Georgia. This is a rare in-town property. It's not often one such a private setting in-town, with a 1 acre lot, such a stylish custom home, a guest house, ample parking, beautifully landscaped, and room for additional features, like further gardens, a pool, art studio/workshop, or possibly a garage. Both main house & cottage have been featured on VRBO, and most of the furnishings can be included with the sale of the property.

Tucked sweetly along Clover Street, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath 1965 charmer has had a glow-up worthy of a standing ovation-while still keeping just enough of its soul to feel like home the moment you step inside. From the curb, it whispers nostalgia... but open the door and you'll find a completely reimagined space where *everything* has been thoughtfully refreshed. A brand-new roof overhead, new windows letting the sunshine pour in, updated plumbing behind the scenes, and a kitchen and bathroom that feel straight out of a design magazine. It's the best of both worlds: vintage character meets modern ease. And then there are the floors-the original hardwoods, lovingly preserved and absolutely stunning. They carry the story of the home forward, grounding all the newness with warmth and authenticity. The kitchen is ready for everything from lazy Sunday pancakes to impromptu dinner parties, with custom cabinetry, gleaming quartz countertops, soft-close drawers (because life's too short for slamming cabinets), and all-new appliances that are as functional as they are beautiful. Out back, a fully fenced backyard offers both privacy and possibility, shaded by mature pecan trees that add character, beauty, and just the right touch of Southern charm. Practical perks haven't been overlooked-there's a covered carport to keep you out of the elements and a convenient outdoor storage closet for all the extras that need a home of their own. Step outside and you're in one of Athens' most beloved pockets-Normaltown-where life feels a little more connected, a little more walkable, and a lot more fun. You're just steps from the new UGA medical school campus and an easy stroll or bike ride to local shops, cozy cafes, and favorite neighborhood restaurants. All of this, without the typical Normaltown price tag. 429 Clover Street isn't just a renovation-it's a revival. A place where old stories meet new beginnings, and where your next chapter is ready to unfold.
