Escape to the country without leaving Athens behind. Set on just under one acre on a scenic country road, this single-story home on a full basement offers sweeping hillside views minutes from Ohio University and downtown Athens. The spacious master suite is itself a private retreat. Step outside to a large back deck, perfect for morning coffee and evening sunsets, with free natural gas helping keep utility costs low. A newer roof means peace of mind for years to come. The walk-out basement, with kitchen cabinets, gas stove hookup, and its own private entrance and patio, offers great potential for a second living unit with the addition of flooring. This is ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or even rental income. Built in 1900 with solid hardwood frame construction, the home saw major systems updates in 1995 (electrical, plumbing, wiring) and further updates in 2002. A rare blend of privacy and space, minutes from town but a world away in feel.
