Downtown cottage with prime hilltop location! Located practically across the street from the N Oconee River Greenway park and walking trails, walking distance to downtown, and on the bus line, this floor plan offers efficiency with modern touches. Hardwood and tile floors (no carpet!) throughout the home. The bathroom has a new shower with white subway tile, and the updated kitchen has granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and pendant lighting. There was extra insulation added in the attic last year and a new vapor barrier installed in the crawlspace. The back deck is a great extra entertaining space!
