One of the more unique homes in Athens and rich in architectural history is now available! This adorable Spanish style home dates back to 1938 and was designed by Leila Ross Wilburn, one of Georgia's first registered architects. With 3 bedrooms and 1 bath, this home sits a few blocks off King Ave and is surrounded by the in-town areas of Normaltown, Cobbham and the Prince Ave corridor. Zoned for the award winning Chase Street Elementary and just down the street from the local businesses along Broad St and Normaltown, UGA's Health Sciences campus and Bishop Park, where the Athens Farmers Market sets up on weekends, you'll have access to many of the great things that Athens has to offer. The current owners helped bring life back to the home of the past years with updates throughout including a new roof, new HVAC, refinished hardwood floors, renovated bathroom and kitchen and beautiful landscaping surrounding the home. While quaint in size, the flow of the living spaces and large hallway provide great air and openness throughout. Stainless appliances and concrete counters in the kitchen open to the dining area with french doors that open to the side deck and yard which is a perfect spot for hosting family and friends for a outdoor meal. The quarter acre lot sets up nicely for expansion of the rear or side of the home to perhaps create a true courtyard. One of the best features of the home is the covered front porch with arched openings, making it a great spot to relax and say hello to the great folks in the neighborhood. The current owners saw an opportunity to bring life and love to this home while raising their family and hope the future owners continue to vision. Regarding her home designs, Leila Ross Wilburn once said "Being a woman I feel that I may know the little things that should go in it to make living in the house a pleasure to the entire family" which is quite evident at this truly special home.
