115 Milledge Hts, Athens, GA 30606

Property Description

Welcome home to Five Points. This upgraded 1930 cottage offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms on the main level and a separate-entry basement apartment with 1 bedroom and 1 bath. Situated in one of Athens' most beloved neighborhoods, it's a short walk to Five Points' restaurants and shops, near Sanford Stadium, and just a short drive from downtown. Step through the charming original "hobbit door" & into a home that has been lovingly and thoughtfully updated without ever losing sight of what made it special to begin with. Historic doors, original hardware, and warm hardwood floors flow throughout, while Craftsman-inspired renovations bring every modern comfort along for the ride. At the center of it all is a kitchen worth lingering in: hand-selected walnut countertops, abundant cabinetry, a generous island, and the kind of layout that makes cooking and gathering feel like the same thing. The living room anchors around a wood-burning stove, the formal dining room is ready for a real dinner party, and a bright multi-purpose sunroom does equal duty as media room, library, and afternoon retreat. The primary suite is a true retreat! A custom California walk-in closet, stunning Moroccan tile, a large copper soaking tub, and a sun-filled bonus room just off the bedroom — currently used as a yoga room, but could also be a reading space, home office, or simply a quiet place to start the day. Just off the kitchen, step out onto the side porch and notice the ceiling: salvaged and preserved from the original Jittery Joe's roaster. The fully remodeled basement apartment has its own private entrance, a full bath, living area, and a kitchen with a farmhouse sink and washer/dryer. It comfortably sleeps four to six and currently operates as a successful Airbnb, though it works equally well as an in-law suite or a home for visiting family and friends. Solar panels, abundant storage throughout, and a location that rarely comes available — Five Points living at its best!
