What's special
Unique In-town property: Historic, 1930 2/2 farmhouse with huge front porch, on large .66 acre lot, with an efficiency 1/1 guest cottage (needs renovation), and several old storage sheds. Beautiful deep lot, with an abundance of mature hardwoods, surrounded by acres of woods that are in preservation. Of note, the Seller will be selling property with a deed restriction that lot cannot be subdivided. Both the farmhouse and guest cottage need work. The farmhouse is temporarily occupied, without lease. It has good bones, tall ceilings, old pine flooring in much of the house, a huge common living room off a wonderful living room sized front porch that sits up high, a long galley style kitchen, one bedroom has an antique fireplace mantle, high ceilings (perhaps 12), while the 2nd, rear bedroom has a private bath, vaulted ceiling, & exterior door. Please note, there is no central heat or AC. The lot has amazing potential for landscaping/gardens, and theres room for a workshop/studio, as well as abundant off-street parking. The property is next to Williams Farm, owned by the Athens Land Trust, is only blocks from the Oconee River/Greenway Trail, Downtown, and UGAs historic North Campus. This is a rare opportunity to buy a residential property of this size, with multiple structures, at this price.
