Welcome to 395 Cleveland Avenue, a rare in-town cottage offering the perfect blend of historic character, smart updates, and everyday livability. Located in the Johnny Lay Burks (Chase Street) Elementary School zone and just blocks from Boulevard, Normaltown, and Downtown, this three-bedroom, two-bath home sits at the heart of what makes Athens special. Restored in 2015 by preservationist David Bryan, the home retains its classic 1920s feel with original hardwood floors, high ceilings, and curated finishes throughout. The open layout moves easily from the living room to the dining area and kitchen, where youll find butcher block counters with a reclaimed wood front, open heart pine shelving, sleek cabinetry, and a full pantry. Custom built-in bookcases now anchor the living room, adding both beauty and function. The crown jewel of the home is the newly constructed screened-in porch. Thoughtfully designed with floor-to-ceiling screening, fans, lighting, and peaceful woodland views, this space extends the living area outdoors and makes the most of the deep, private backyard. The lot features a rare mix of mature native trees, including magnolia, oak, pecan, and a striking monkey puzzle. A detached outbuilding on slab foundation provides space for a future studio or workshop. Other features include a metal roof, upgraded insulation, off-street parking, and one of the most walkable locations in town. Buvez, Normaltown Brewery, Hidden Gem, Sunroof Coffee, and Nighthawks are within a stones throw. With so few properties offering this mix of location, quality, and outdoor space, 395 Cleveland Avenue is truly one of a kind.
