Enjoy a rare opportunity to own a piece of Athens’ history that’s walkable to UGA’s campus and Sanford Stadium. The main part of the Colonial-style home was originally built in 1857 making it one of the oldest homes in the neighborhood. Nestled between the Dearing and Henderson historic districts, this home is historically maintained while free from the hindrances of being on the register. The backside of the unit, where you enter, is the old summer kitchen, serving the main house, and has since been renovated and converted. You’ll love the original center cut, wide plank pine floors, original pocket doors, 12-foot ceilings, beautiful built-ins, two fireplaces, oversized owner’s suite with an en suite bathroom. Enjoy all the seasons on the covered, screened back porch, or rest easy on a rocking chair enjoying the back porch, complete with a Haint blue ceiling- a true Southern classic. Just outside through the oversized windows is a magnificent old-growth Southern Magnolia which will soon be covered in blossoms. This unit offers off-street assigned and guest parking and an in-unit washer/dryer. It is currently tenant-occupied and would be perfect for a parent investor, a gameday condo, or an owner-occupant.
