288 Fourth St, Athens, GA 30601

This historic cottage home sits on a terraced lot that is just shy of half an acre, an unusually large amount of land for such a central, intown location. With the home located at the end of the dead end street, and the large lot, there is privacy here that belies the intown location. Enjoy the covered front porch with recently rebuilt handrails and fresh paint and the birds eye view of the large parcel (see recent survey in docs) from the back deck. Once inside enjoy the nearly 10' ceilings on the main floor. The living room, eat in kitchen, laundry room and full bath are all on the main floor, along with one of the three bedrooms. Downstairs offers the two additional bedrooms as well as the bonus of additional flex space that can serve a number of uses (second den, home office, workout space or whatever you need). The yard has an area of existing fencing that makes the home pet friendly at move in, and offers the option of a low maintenance forest like feel as the topography falls away, or tons of unrealized potential if the new owners follow the current owners recent efforts to clear the understory growth so the property becomes more user friendly. Just a bit of cosmetic TLC would go a long way here and the home would be a great option for first time home buyers and investors alike.
