Recent upgrades include a newly renovated upstairs bathroom, updated kitchen flooring, and new countertops that give the home a fresh, move-in-ready feel.

Both the upstairs and downstairs bedroom areas offer access to beautifully remodeled full bathrooms, creating excellent flexibility for guests, families, or multi-generational living. The convenient half bath and laundry area are located just off the kitchen near the entry to the attached two-car garage. Located just seconds from the Loop and minutes from the hospital area, Normaltown, Alps Road shopping and dining, and the University of Georgia, this home combines updated features, generous space, and one of the most convenient locations in Athens real estate.
