Michael Littleton

REALTOR®

Having lived in Athens for 35 years (in almost all the intown neighborhoods), Michael’s passions for housing are varied and have evolved over the years. “I’ve always felt an emotional connection to the older, historic homes and unique properties like churches, warehouses, and schools. So, helping people buy and sell such unique properties has always been gratifying; I can’t imagine a more satisfying way to spend time working. I’ve been fortunate that my enthusiasm for these properties has also allowed me the privilege to creatively restore some amazing structures over the years. I’ve undertaken these restorations with close friends, who in my estimation are some of the finest craftspeople in the area; it’s hard to put into words just how pleasurable and rewarding this path of experience has been. Along the way, I’ve been privileged to be associated with some truly amazing properties and people. I feel quite blessed.”

3 Beds 3 Baths 2,474 SqFt 0.33 Acres

In-Town, 1924-built mill cottage, located 1 block from Downtown, in the most green-centric neighborhood in Athens: just blocks from Dudley Park ( site of future amphitheater ), the N Oconee River, Greenway Trails, Firefly Trails, Walker Park, N Oconee River Parks, Trail Creek; all within walk/bike distance of UGA & Downtown Athens. This neighborhood, referred to as Chicopee-Dudley, is one of the earliest developed areas in Athens. This cottage reflects a style of housing commonly built for workers of Chicopee Mill, a pre-Civil War Mill built on the N Oconee River, a block away, on the Eastern boundary of Downtown. Typically, these cottages were very solidly built, with beaded wood walls/ceilings, and double layer old growth pine flooring. There’s been a trend toward beautifully and artfully restoring these historic cottages, and 185 First Street offers that opportunity. It sits on a terraced lot, elevated above the street, with a room sized screened front porch, a Japanese maple in front yard, 4 car parking behind house, the back yard framed by pecan trees. There’s a newer architectural shingle roof, the the siding has been wrapped with a wider style vinyl siding, presumably to protect what’s underneath and provide lower maintenance, and storm windows installed to protect older windows and add energy efficiency. Inside, much of the original character has been covered up, with Sheetrock on walls/ceilings ( likely covering original beaded wood ), and the wood flooring covered with carpet ( the plan is to remove carpet soon ). Otherwise, the original rooms have taller ceilings, simple mantles, large windows, and there are several closets where one can view the original beadboard walls still exposed. The kitchen and bath are functional, but dated, so buyers might want to customize both to their aesthetic preferences. There is an unfinished room that’s been added to the rear of the house, which currently only houses a hot water heater and has w/d connections. With plumbing in place, part of this room might be a good site for a 2nd bathroom. Lots of creative possibilities abound. These days, it’s rare to see a property located next to Downtown priced in the low 200s; it does need some work, but it’s a nice lot and a great location, within blocks of everything that makes In town living so desirable: access to an arts-centric, culturally diverse, college community, in a highly green neighborhood.

185 First Street Athens, Georgia

2 Beds 1 Baths 930 SqFt 0.21 Acres

In town, unique historic property, once a neighborhood grocery store, that dates back to 1897, and was open until 1980. Located in one of the oldest areas in Athens, the Chicopee-Dudley neighborhood, on a corner lot, it’s 2 blocks from crossing the Oconee River in one direction, and 2 blocks to the entrance into Dudley Park, and accessing the River Greenway and Firefly Trails in another. This is the most green-centric area in Athens, with multiple parks, a major river, creeks, multiple walk/bike trails, and an abundance of wildlife, yet only blocks from both Downtown and the University of Georgia campus. The house has been fully and artfully restored from the foundation to its metal roof. The floor plan allows for an array of possible uses, as the original layout of the store that faced Arch Street, and the attached living space behind the store have been renovated such that it can be used as 2 distinct living spaces, or by opening connective doors, it can be one larger living space. Thus, it could be a single home, 2 very unique Airb&b spaces, live in one side and rent the other, or share one side as an in-law, guest, or family suite. Currently, there are 2 large kitchens and 3 beautifully tiled baths. If only 1 kitchen is needed, the other can be easily dismantled and used differently. The property has wood floors throughout, some wood walls and ceilings, and some amazing custom built doors that were repurposed from the historic warehouse downtown that housed Jittery Joes coffee house and roasting facility. Some of these doors are barn style while others have colored glass panels or are hinged windows built into door that open. Additionally, there’s a porch that wraps around 2 sides of the house, and a screened rear porch with privacy lattice work. The electrical, plumbing, heat/air systems have all been updated, so this is the best of both worlds, a historic structure, full of character and history, yet with modern amenities, the restoration already completed. Another feature, despite being so conveniently close to Downtown and campus, this block of Poplar sees very little traffic, thus is a fairly quiet location. Also, both Poplar and Arch Streets have sidewalks, so travel to Downtown, UGA, and parks are quite pedestrian friendly. This is a rare property, in one of Athens oldest neighborhoods, conveniently located near so many of the things that make living in Athens special. A must see property!

Unique, In-Town, 1920s 2-Story, 1/1 Cottage, affectionately referred to as, ‘Baby Ruth', this sweet abode feels like it may have been built by Keebler Elves, or Robinson Crusoe, with it's treehouse feel. Once the guest house for the authentic 113 year old farmhouse next door, also for sale, these 2 unique structures have been subdivided from a larger parcel, and a driveway added, to eliminate the previously shared driveway. That said, both the farmhouse at 490 Ruth, and the cottage at 490.5, with it's .33 acre lot, can certainly be purchased as a package, such that this property could continue to be a guest cottage, or a home office, art/studio space, or used for rental income or Airb&b. Independently, this is rare and artful, affordable in-town property, which offers a straight pathway into Downtown, crossing the Oconee River and River Greenway labyrinth of bike/walk trails, and intersects the famous UGA Arches the serve as the entrance to Historic North campus. Additionally, this neighborhood was once primarily farmland, so one can see several authentic historic farmhouses sprinkled in amongst newer construction, on a street lined with ancient oaks, and it's just blocks from 5 Acre Woods, a neighborhood protected green space, and Williams Farm, which is managed by the Athens Land Trust, and serves the Community as an educational farm site. ‘Baby Ruth‘, though small, has potential to be expanded, as it sits on a good-sized lot, with a mix of old hardwood trees creating shade, and full sun areas, excellent for gardening. The structure has a newer, energy-smart metal roof, exceptionally thick, beefy wood siding, electrical updates have been made, and has been painted inside & out. Upon entering, the 1st floor is all common living area, including the kitchen, with new Shaker-style cabinetry, counters, sink, & stainless appliances. Additionally, the common area features wood wainscot, an antique mantle, pocket windows, & track lighting. An open staircase leads upstairs to a master suite with original heart pine flooring, wood walls/ceiling, and an abundance of natural light . At the top of the stairs, one can access a balcony overlooking the sunny and private back yard. If one is seeking to embrace a simple lifestyle, or the hard to find Tiny House experience, this may be the perfect space. Or, if needing more space, this unique cottage creates an excellent foundation that one can build additions onto, perhaps economically adding a 2nd, or even a 3rd BR, as time, need, or finances allow. Ultimately, this is a wonderfully central in-town location, convenient to all the things that make living in Athens, a culturally diverse, arts-centric, college community, so special.
