Athènes, GA 30601

In-town, new construction, 2-story modern farmhouse over basement with 2-car garage, next to Boulevard Woods Park, and with rare, sweeping vista views and acres of green space, yet just a few blocks from Downtown. This synthesis of both modern and historic farmhouse aesthetics is a nice blending of old and new, and should fit nicely into this historic neighborhood. With 5 bedrooms ( challenging to find in-town ) and 4 baths, there's room for a large family that is seeking a home in the highly desired Chase School District, or the floorplan allows several bedrooms to be used as flex spaces; offices, studio space, yoga room, media room, studio space, etc. There is a 2-car garage, another rarity in the historic neighborhoods. Given the slope of the lot, the expansive views to the rear of the house will give you the sense of living among the tree canopy, as if in a tree house. The common living area is an open floorplan through the first floor, opening to both a nice front porch, and a rear screen porch and deck that will have views from a high vantage point. The common area will have a fireplace, open to living room, dining area, and kitchen. The stylish kitchen will have a 9' Island/bar, large walk-in pantry, stainless appliances, stone counters, artful backsplash, stainless range hood, and nice cabinetry. There is either a 5th bedroom or office on this main level, with a walk-in closet, and direct access to a full bath. Upstairs, there are 3 large bedrooms and 2 baths, including a large master suite, with spectacular views, large walk-in closet, and stylish master bath. The basement has a bedroom and bath, or this space could be modified for different usage. The exterior will have a metal roof, with mixed material, low maintenance siding, composed of metal, concrete board siding, and wood accents. This home will represent the best of in-town living in Athens, set in the heart of historic neighborhoods, with lots of desirable destinations within easy walking distance; the Arts Warehouse district ( art galleries, music studios, Canopy Trapeze Arts studio,...), the historic Leathers Warehouse ( wine shop, yoga studio, art gallery, BBQ), 2 locally born coffee roasting sites ( 1000 Faces & Jittery Joe's ), the Daily Grocery food coop, the historic Bottleworks mixed use compound ( Hendershots coffee house/bar with live music, Thai restaurant, Sea Bear oyster bar...), The Grit, Big City Bread Bakery, Heirloom, White Tiger, so much more!
