What a show-stopper in Normaltown! Move in ready by late October! This adorable Midcentury Modern home has been decked out from top to bottom with an extensive renovation by Athens based Basic Workshop, rivaled by no other two bedroom home within walking distance to retail, restaurants and bars on the Normaltown strip (plus! Bishop Park and the Farmers Market.) New HVAC, new electrical service & panel, new PEX plumbing lines, PVC drain lines under the house and to the street, new high-efficiency washer/dryer, insulated crawlspace w/ vapor barrier, new solid core interior doors, new Pella Architect Series aluminum clad crank windows.... and much more! Custom IKEA cabinets and island, Cambria matte quartz countertops, backsplash tile to the ceiling, and Fisher Paykel dual fuel range, refrigerator, and dual drawer dishwasher. Gorgeous vaulted ceiling with exposed beams enhance the greatroom along with the refinished oak floors that run throughout the home. The bathroom has also experienced a remodel with IKEA vanity, terrazzo tile floors, and custom tile shower surround that extends to the ceiling. Two bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings and exposed beams, plus large closets with very unique metal shelves. Both bedrooms are bright and have crank-open windows. The backyard is fenced with custom steel contemporary fencing and wood privacy fencing. A crushed slate patio is perfect for entertaining. The front of the home - along with its Midcentury charm with large window and low slung roofline - is accentuated by a custom front deck with Ipe deck boards and custom steel railings. Pest control and lawn care included. Tenant pays utilities. Will go fast, call/text or email today! Tree grooming will be performed on the property on Sept 19, so we will not be performing tours on that day. Owner pays for Pest Control, Lawncare and Maintenance. Tenant pays for utilities including Electricity, Water/Trash, Natural Gas and Internet. Willing to negotiate different lease lengths.
