Come for the gorgeous home and stay for the location! This is a super roomy, bright, and beautifully updated 3 Bed, 2 Bath with generous bonus features. Wood floors throughout with tiled floors in the handsomely updated bathrooms. The stainless appliance package in the cabinet-rich kitchen includes the fridge. The adjacent dining room is roomy and has two vintage built in china cabinets. The inviting living room is big enough to entertain without having to get creative and features a fireplace with gas logs and there is an adjacent all purpose flex space that contains the laundry area and additional space that has been used as an office and craft area. The back of the main floor has two large sunny bedrooms and an updated hall bath. The entire second floor is an owner's suite, but oh is it so much more. Big enough for a bedroom area, living room area, and study area, this space will have you never wanting to go back downstairs. Huge bathroom has a taller double marble vanity and a shower you won't want to leave, and access to what could possibly be the largest walk-in closet in Normaltown. Great views to the grassy urban oasis of a backyard, complete with a writing retreat office, sun deck, stamped concrete patio, a garage begging to be converted to an accessory dwelling unit (for a conforming short term rental!), and much much more. Updates include but are not limited to: paint in and out, smooth-board Hardiplank siding, roof, windows, kitchen and baths, refinished wood floors, HVAC and plumbing infrastructure, She Shed and adjacent deck, washer and dryer (both stay), wood fencing, light fixtures and hardware throughout, water heater, and more. All of this is just a par five's distance from the new UGA Medical School (with a projected $5.0 Billion multiplier effect) and all the rest of trendy Normaltown with the entire Prince Ave Retail Corridor just beyond, leading to downtown and main campus. Don't want to drive or walk? Take the free UGA bus from the health science/med campus right to downtown! This already great yet still wonderfully evolving story, coupled with a home at a price per sq foot that isn't "pushing the market", makes for a must consider living option. Easy to show and ready to go!
