Overview

Description

Tucked just outside the city limits of Athens, this rare multi-home opportunity offers privacy, flexibility, and built-in income potential on just over an acre. The long, quiet driveway sets the tone—secluded, peaceful, and welcoming—making this property ideal for investors, multi-generational living, or those wanting space to live and earn. The brick rancher features 5 bedrooms and 3 baths, filled with natural light and timeless character from the moment you step inside. Beautiful luxury vinyl floors, abundant kitchen cabinetry and countertops, and expansive storage make it a true cook's delight. The fully finished basement includes 2 bedrooms, 1 bath, a den, and a full kitchen with appliances, plus a dedicated private entrance, creating an ideal mother-in-law suite or income-producing rental. Step out onto the rear deck with breathtaking views, enjoy the fenced yard perfect for pets or play, and cool off in the above-ground pool. Fruit trees and seasonal flowers complete the picture with vibrant color and charm. The second home, a 10-year-old rancher, offers 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an open, inviting floor plan. The kitchen truly is the heart of the home—designed for gathering, conversation, and connection. Outdoor storage provides space for equipment or a workshop, while a chicken coop and fenced area for small animals support a lifestyle of sustainability and creativity. Gardening and flowering options are endless. Whether you're looking to house hack, generate rental income, accommodate extended family, or invest in a high-demand property, this one delivers. Priced to sell and packed with opportunity—schedule your private showing today and see the potential for yourself.
