Best of both worlds! The peace and privacy of a cottage in the country, but YET
you can walk to downtown Athens/North Campus.
This unique 100+ year old house is nestled into the woods but located within walking distance to downtown and UGA's North Campus. Easy walk to downtown, campus, the Greenway / Dudley Park / Firefly Trail / Trail Creek Park / Oconee River / Weaver D's Soul Food. You are located so close to downtown but the privacy and woods gives you the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere. This Walden-esque cottage is a rare find. It sits back from the street and is almost completely hidden from the street and from neighboring houses. Every window of this house views trees and woods. Wood floors throughout, big bedroom, large living room and a big open kitchen. A private deck overlooks a shaded backyard. There is a storage area between the kitchen and deck to stash bikes, tools, art supplies, pantry items, etc. Washer and dryer are included and located in the bathroom (see photos). Please note that heat is by floor furnace and air conditioning is by window units, but these are substantial for the house.
Lawn maintenance included. Appliances included as follows: refrigerator, dishwasher, washer and dryer, stove/oven.
yard maintenance included
