Unbeatable West Side Home with Greenhouse! Built in 1890 and beautifully reimagined in 1983, this unique two-bedroom, two-bath home blends historic character with an unbeatable West Side location: Just a short walk to campus, bars, restaurants and the middle school. The bright open main floor flows from living to kitchen and dining, with a full downstairs bath, sunny office space, and attached walk-in greenhouse. Upstairs, a lofted ceiling, skylight, and floor-to-ceiling bookshelves create a cozy family room or study, alongside two upstairs bedrooms and another full bath. The home's history is as unique as its craftsmanship; won by the previous owner in a housing lottery launched under Jimmy Carter, it received the Athens Realtor's Home Pride Award for restoration in 1983. The definition of "good bones", the house is framed in hardwood with local chestnut and poplar, with cedar siding. Heated/cooled by 3 mini-split units, the original hot-water baseboard system is also still in place. Windows were replaced in Nov. 2025, and most appliances are new since 2023. This house hasn't been on the open market since the 1980s! With quirky design features to discover and a unique Athens feel, this is a truly one-of-a-kind home!
