Charming in-town 1-story Cottage, built in 2008 by award-winning local builder J W York Homes, this home is currently being used as an Airb&b property and is being offered with its stylish furnishing. It was designed architecturally as a historic cottage reproduction, and features a metal roof, the front gable has a starburst pattern, a front porch with swing, and rear deck. Inside, the flooring is Oak, other than the the tile baths and laundry/mud room. The kitchen features cherry cabinetry, with polished concrete countertops, a large island, and stainless appliances, including gas stove. The common living area is open from front door to rear of house with excellent natural light. There’s a generous primary bed/bath suite, as well as a secondary bed/bath. Off-street parking is located behind house, accessed from a rear alley. On the other side of the alley lies 7 acres of communal green space with open area for recreational use, like a mini-park, surrounded by woods which provide a privacy barrier. Behind this wooded barrier is Williams Farm, an urban farm and educational space owned by the Athens Land Trust. Also within 1 block is 5 acre woods, providing additional neighborhood green space. This location is only a few hundred feet off Ruth Street, which then provides a straight path into and thru the center of Downtown, ultimately ending at the UGA Arch and Historic North Campus. It’s also only blocks from the Athens Loop.
