Calling all enthusiasts of contemporary architecture! Welcome to 238 Moss Side Drive, located in the heart of one of Athens’ quieter West Side neighborhoods, Moss Side. Nearby homes in the subdivision have sold at higher price points, leaving ample opportunity to make further customizations to this home without the fear of over improvement. That said, this home has seen its fair share of improvements during the current ownership to include stylishly updated bathrooms and primary suite, new roof, and added office space making it very easy to love this unique home exactly as it is today. Built in 1977, this property offers a delightful mid-century design with a sunken living room featuring tons of large windows, stacked stone fireplace and vaulted ceiling that draws the eye to the upstairs balcony. Pair this space with views of the mature trees in the front yard, and it’s almost like being in the mountains of Northeast Georgia. Go ahead and throw that “Rumors” vinyl by Fleetwood Mac on the record player - you know you want to! With 5 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, a finished basement, and studio apartment, this home provides ample space for family and guests. Sited on nearly an acre of mostly wooded land, this home seamlessly integrates with nature. An updated kitchen features stainless steel appliances, butcher block countertops, and a pantry with laundry hookups. One could easily recess the refrigerator in the existing pantry and add more cabinetry and counter space if desired. Step outside to discover a massive covered porch and wrap-around deck, perfect for entertaining friends and family. This expansive outdoor space offers a peaceful retreat for summer barbecues, sunset gatherings, or simply enjoying the lush, wooded surroundings. Under the covered porch, you’ll find a charming studio apartment with a private entrance, ideal for guests, an office, a creative space, or income producing opportunity. The home's large finished basement is a true bonus, also with a separate exterior entrance that could easily be transformed into an additional studio, a guest/ in-law suite, or a teenage hangout. Imagine the convenience of having a kitchenette area, creating a self-sufficient space for guests or family members seeking their own retreat. Situated in the desirable Moss Side neighborhood in Athens, you’ll be just minutes away from Bishop Park, Oak Grove retail and the new Publix, as well as Normaltown staples like Hi Lo Lounge, The Old Pal, Automatic Pizza, and Normal Bar, as well as the vibrant cultural scene that Athens is known for. The nearby University of Georgia offers a wealth of activities, from sporting events to art exhibitions, ensuring you’ll always have something to enjoy. Of note, the nearby UGA Health Sciences Campus will soon be transformed into the new medical school. HWY 129’s proximity makes it easy to pop over to Atlanta for the weekend or to catch a flight. Contemporary homes in Athens are a rare find, and this one in particular perfectly balances style, comfort, and functionality. Don’t miss your opportunity to call this stunning property home. Schedule your private tour today and experience the lifestyle that awaits you!
