This 1950 classic has been completely reimagined—full of charm, style, and modern convenience. From top to bottom, the home underwent a total renovation in 2020, making it move-in ready with all the comforts of a new build wrapped in timeless character. Whether you need two bedrooms and a home office or prefer a true three-bedroom, two-bath layout, the flexible floor plan offers plenty of options to suit your lifestyle. Step inside and you're welcomed by a gorgeous brick fireplace—the centerpiece of the living room—and it only gets better from there. Updates completed during the renovation include a new electrical system, roof, HVAC, ductwork, insulation, and water heater. All windows and doors were replaced with energy-efficient models, and the entire home was freshly painted inside and out, with any damaged exterior wood replaced in the process. The kitchen was completely redesigned with granite countertops, updated cabinetry, and brushed nickel fixtures, creating an open and functional space for everyday living and entertaining. Hardwood floors were refinished throughout, and water-resistant laminate was added in the bathrooms and laundry/mudroom. Both bathrooms were fully updated, and new washer/dryer hookups were installed. The front porch was rebuilt and transformed into a screened-in space perfect for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. Ideally located just off the loop and less than five minutes from downtown Athens, this home is stylish, efficient, and low-maintenance.
