Property Description
Very Unique Intown Property, located 2 blocks from Downtown Athens, with 2 homes, an Artfully Restored Historic Cottage, and a Modern 2-story Guest House with 2 studio apartments, 1 on each level, creating interesting possibilities for a compound, office/studio space, or rental income. Additionally, theres a large storage building/workshop, multiple patios, porches, balcony, a large 3 tall stone raised garden in center of courtyard, a cobblestone walkway, both front and back yards are fenced, and apx 15 x 70' driveway. The yard is landscaped with a plethora of fruiting trees: Fig, Peach, Nectarine, Apple, Pear, as well as Blueberry bushes, and a Grape Arbor. Local Artists/Artisans have contributed creative touches throughout the property: custom decorative metal railing on back porch of main house, a metal sunflower balcony and porch railing on guest house porch and balcony, colorful tile murals in bathroom, sunroom floor, and kitchen backsplash, a wide array of wood species and custom woodwork throughout. The historic primary house has undergone major renovation: features a front courtyard, sunroom, open floor-plan, tall ceilings, French doors, beautiful wood floors, European style shutter windows, new stainless appliances, artfully designed tile bath, a Great Room w vaulted wood ceilings & newly built, exposed brick/stone FP; this room opens to back porch which sits privately with a high view of a beautiful courtyard/fenced back yard. The guest house has an upstairs studio apartment with a porch & balcony; the interior is entirely open, all wood floors, walls, and vaulted ceiling. The primary level, accessed independently from upstairs, is one big room with full bath & w/d. It provides an excellent flex space which has a diversity of potential uses: a home office, art studio, gym, band practice/music studio, home hair salon, rental income ( use your imagination ). A 3rd structure is a large storage space or workshop. This Artisan Urban Farm Sanctuary is just blocks from: the heart of Downtown, UGA Arches/North Campus, Civic Center, multiple Parks, Oconee River, Greenway & Firefly Trails, Sanford Stadium, and an internationally recognized music/arts scene, diverse culinary offerings, along with local breweries/pubs. Finding such a one-of-a-kind, arts-centric property, w a diversity of potential uses, especially this close to Downtown is a rarity. Location, Location, Location.
