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 new LVP 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....
