220 Woodlawn Ave

Location, location, location... Historic Woodlawn Avenue, one of the prime addresses in Athens, Georgia. This home has been meticulously renovated. The outside architectural style is intriguing with cedar shakes, stucco, and a large covered porch on the right-hand side as your entry. Natural light floods this home with beautiful large windows throughout. As you enter the home you will fall in love with the charm. Original oak floors are in the living room and dining room with new oak floor in the kitchen/great room perfectly matched to the existing oak. This home has a wonderful flow for entertaining with no dead-end rooms. There is a natural flow from the living room to the dining room with a charming swing door leading to the butler's pantry and then the kitchen which is open to a large great room. Chefs will enjoy having a butler's pantry area for extra prep space with a marble countertop that has below counter storage and above counter glass door cabinets and a wine refrigerator with two different settings for white and red wine. The marble countertops and backsplash in the kitchen are exquisite. Thermador appliances and a large pantry add to the professional-kitchen look. There is ample space for a breakfast room table and there is a breakfast bar at the large seamless honed-marble island. The living room, dining room, and great room all have marble-tiled fireplaces with remote-control operated gas charcoal briquettes that do produce some warmth for the room. You will enjoy easy access to the backyard from the great room with a glass door leading outside. For the gardener, this is a wonderful space with a brick patio and arbor, garden shed, beautiful landscaping, and lots of privacy. In the living room, you have a lovely restored handrail that is open to the living room and leads you up the heart of pine stairs. A bath is located under these stairs. Once upstairs, there are four bedrooms, a sleeping porch/4th bedroom/study/playroom, and three full baths. Everyone will enjoy the light, fresh air, and the view the sleeping porch offers. Of course, the windows are operational. The two largest bedrooms both have en-suite bathrooms and fireplaces. The master bedroom has a walk-in closet and a ceiling fan. All three bathrooms upstairs have been renovated with marble floors, marble walls with decorative bands that match the design of the floor. Each of the three upstairs bathrooms has heated floors with programmable controls. These touches make you feel like you are living in luxury. The laundry closet is conveniently located upstairs with all the bedrooms. A tankless water heater provides endless hot water. There are dual Nest programmable thermostats. The basement has a professionally-installed water protection barrier and dehumidifier, allowing for storage. Woodlawn Avenue is located in the heart of Five Points with easy access to restaurants, grocery stores, and shopping. This street offers sidewalks which will take you down memory lane. This is a must-see!! Laura Wilfong
