About this home
Reimagined & nestled in one of Athens' most sought-after intown neighborhoods-Normaltown-and zoned for award-winning Burks Elementary, this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage seamlessly blends timeless charm with modern sophistication. Completely transformed in 2018, the home not only underwent a full renovation but was thoughtfully expanded with a new wing, creating a spacious and functional layout. No detail was overlooked-from all-new wiring and upgraded electrical throughout to fully replaced plumbing extending all the way to the street. Even the exterior was enhanced with new water spigots and convenient interior shut-off valves. Inside, the home has been reimagined with an open, light-filled design. Walls were removed, new windows were added, and gorgeous hardwood floors flow throughout. A welcoming front porch leads into a bright foyer that opens to the heart of the home-an expansive kitchen featuring granite countertops, classic subway tile, stainless steel appliances, a new sink, and abundant custom cabinetry for exceptional storage. The adjacent dining room overlooks the front lawn and offers generous space for gatherings, while the inviting living area boasts a wood-burning fireplace and plentiful natural light. Just off the living room, a flexible space provides the perfect setting for a home office, playroom, or additional seating area. Two secondary bedrooms, each overlooking the private backyard, are tucked beyond a charming archway that adds architectural character. On the opposite side of the home, the newly added owner's suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a luxurious bath featuring double vanities, an oversized walk-in shower, a spacious closet, and a semi-private water closet. Step directly from the bedroom onto the back deck-ideal for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The outdoor space is equally impressive. The large, level, fenced backyard is perfect for entertaining, complete with blooming roses surrounding a charming gazebo, a fire pit, and ample room for games, gatherings, or game-day tailgates. A stylish storage shed offers additional flexibility and could easily function as a private home office or studio. Additional highlights include a double driveway with ample off-street parking and a convenient side entrance leading directly into the kitchen. The beautifully landscaped front yard has been thoughtfully curated to provide year-round color and interest. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special home that offers both character and modern comfort in one of Athens' most desirable locations. Easy to show-schedule your private tour today....
