    What's special

    This little charmer on Athens' "near" Northside offers an awesome, away-from-it-all location at the end of North Congress. It's a breeze of a walk or bike ride to uptown Athens and Ohio University and you don't have to climb that last hill to the "far" Northside! The sun-dappled lot offers big trees, mature landscaping, and room for a small garden--composting tub included. Inside you'll find 3 good-sized bedrooms, a large living room and a big kitchen. Lower level has been professionally water-proofed and has a laundry area and plenty of room for storage. Many updates include newer furnace;a/c and 30-year roof, as well as upgraded electric and plumbing. All of this translates into a move-in ready home that's affordably priced, perfect for first-time home buyers and/or investors. And all of THAT translates into a home that won't be long on market!

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
