Normaltown

If you have an old soul or cherish everything retro in life, Normaltown might be the place for you. Normaltown, named after the Normal School for teachers, is located adjacent to the University of Georgia’s 57-acre Health Sciences Campus, Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center, and a 40-acre YMCA. It’s also in the award-winning Chase Street Elementary school district.

Normaltown is a wonderfully relaxed neighborhood that is walkable and bikeable to the Normaltown commercial district which features a delicious array of locally-owned restaurants, bars, breweries and shops including Automatic Pizza, Square One Fish Co., Hi-Lo Lounge, The Old Pal, Normal Bar, and Athentic Brewing. A vibrant nightlife, art scene, local breweries, and quaint shops are what make Normaltown a highly desirable place to find a home.

Simply stinkin' cute and move-in ready home in Normaltown! While this home has been updated throughout, the charm of yesteryear is apparent from original oak flooring, a telephone nook, to the arched doorways. Spacious kitchen features a herringbone subway tile backsplash, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, and a pot filler over the gas stove. Primary suite features hardwood flooring, vaulted ceiling, a walk-in closet, and recently remodeled bathroom with black and white octagonal tile flooring and tiled shower w/ frameless glass.
