Opportunity is Officially Knocking! Great find in the heart of Five Points! 3 Bed 3 Bath home with a basement efficiency apartment (making for a 4th bedroom). This 1940s all brick home has been very well-maintained and thoughtfully renovated/expanded. Hardwoods run throughout the home with tile in the bathrooms. The main floor has a living room with a wood burning fireplace, and a small sitting area adjacent to it (currently the family music room). The 14'x17' dining room is bright and centrally located with a large eat-in kitchen beyond that features a gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows, all overlooking the back deck and yard. Kitchen has granite counters, a peninsula with a sitting bar, custom cabinets with soft close hardware, built-ins, combo of new and brand new stainless appliances, and more. Two bedrooms and a full bath round out the main floor with the back bedroom featuring built-ins bookshelves, filing drawers, and tv cabinet, making for a perfect family room or study. The main floor is warmed by arched doorways, creating an inviting old-world charm. The entire upstairs is an owner's suite with a high-ceilinged bright bedroom, built-in shelving and window bench with additional storage space underneath, a spa bathroom with frameless glass shower, clawfoot tub, double vanity with gorgeous granite countertop and both open and closed storage underneath, plus pocket door access to a roomy walk-in closet. An adjacent large bonus room upstairs is currently being used as an office, and presents all kinds of possibilities. Richly toned and inviting pine floors throughout the second story tie it all together. The finished basement has a cozy apartment with its own entrance via an enclosed hybrid sunroom/screened porch/greenhouse with high-end venting skylights. Open plan in the apartment with a bedroom alcove, bathroom, living room area, and kitchen. Laundry is currently in the basement; however sellers also have a laundry closet in the main-floor bathroom that has been converted to a linen closet, but all stubs are there to add laundry upstairs if desired. Various areas in the home available for flex storage space. The spacious and secluded backyard has a 2-3 year old he/shed she/shed that is two stories with its own electrical panel, water stubbed just outside the building, and is being used as a family catch-all flex space and teen movie loft, but it could be easily finished farther to be a heated and cooled studio to serve all kinds of needs. A sturdy and beautiful wood deck next to the outbuilding is perfect for an evening fire and also serves as the pool deck for a very cool soaking pool that is fully filtered, etc. Got chickens? Super well-hidden and predator proof chicken coop is an eggcellent bonus! All of this just 4 blocks from the Five Points Intersection, 3 blocks from the UGA intramural fields and tennis/pickle ball courts, and an easy walk to Memorial Park. Minutes to The Loop at Milledge Ave to get you anywhere in Athens and beyond in no time. Downtown is just up East Campus Rd., which is accessible a block away. Park your car and leave it; you won't need it. Get that E-Bike you've been wanting! This home is easy to show and absolutely move-in ready! Be in for Christmas!
