Great starter home in Athens City Schools. Situated on just over an acre in the Athens City School District, this unique earth-sheltered 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers privacy and space, while only two miles from Ohio University and downtown Athens. In addition to the three bedrooms, the home includes a dedicated office and bonus room. Designed to be naturally insulated by the surrounding earth, the home stays cool in summer and warm in winter, helping reduce utility costs year-round. The south-facing roof receives abundant sunlight and has excellent solar potential. The home has a new heat pump and central AC, while the trusty woodburning stove provides extra warmth and comfort in the colder months. The oversized 2-car garage with 240V power makes a perfect workshop, home business, or project area. A separate outbuilding with electricity offers additional storage, workshop, or hobby space. The property offers ample parking for vehicles, equipment, and guests. The hillside setting provides privacy without isolation, while multiple flat areas create opportunities for gardening, outdoor recreation, and landscaping. Built in 1982, the home offers more modern construction than many properties in this price range.
