Fantastic opportunity to own a piece of Athens's history in one of our most prized in-town neighborhoods. Built in 1912, this home served as one of Athens' most well known recording studios for 40+ years, but over the past 10 years it's been lovingly restored to a classic historic neighborhood home. Handcrafted, detailed upgrades and updates as well as original elements have been brought back to life in this major restoration. The kitchen is the most recent addition and features custom cabinetry and countertops, a gorgeous copper range hood, a large walk-in pantry, and double door access to the back porch. The current bedroom configuration consists of 2 Bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bathroom on the main level as well as a lofted space above the garage that could be made into a gorgeous master bedroom. One bedroom and bathroom on the main level has been left unfinished but could be easily made into a main floor master bedroom or a nicely sized bedroom with an ensuite bath. An unusual feature to an intown home is the addition of an attached 2 car garage with loft space above. The garage is currently a woodworking shop and the bonus space would make for great for additional living space, an art studio, or a fantastic master suite. This house is sturdy, well-built, and well-maintained with tons of charm, potential, and space in an unbeatable location.
