Description

Tucked into the heart of Five Points, this charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath cottage is full of character and possibility. Aged pine paneling surrounds the front living room, where hardwood floors and a fireplace create the cozy feel of a mountain retreat right in the middle of Athens. The space opens onto a screened porch with plenty of room for morning coffee, drinks with friends, or entertaining a larger group. Meander into the sunny kitchen and enjoy views of the partially fenced backyard. Two light-filled bedrooms, a full bath, and an additional half bath round out the main living spaces, offering comfortable and easy everyday living. At the front of the property, a converted garage provides added privacy from the street while offering flexible bonus space full of potential. Already wired with electrical, it's ready to become a home office, art studio, workshop, or creative space. With the addition of plumbing, there may even be potential to transform it into a guest or rental suite down the road. And the location is hard to beat. With Memorial Park and the Birchmore Trail nearby, this home puts morning walks, dog outings, and trail runs practically outside your front door. Five Points is loved for its walkable, tree-lined streets, local shops and restaurants, and unmistakable small-town-in-the-city feel. Grab coffee, stroll to dinner, or bike to campus- this is Athens living at its most charming. Opportunities at this price point in Five Points are increasingly hard to find. With its character, flexible spaces, and incredible location, this cottage is a true Five Points treasure.
