Featuring approximately 2,400 square feet plus nearly 1,000 square feet of walkout basement space, this split-level home provides flexible living options ideal for entertaining, working from home, or creating additional recreation space. Recent upgrades include a newly renovated upstairs bathroom, updated kitchen flooring, and new countertops that give the home a fresh, move-in-ready feel.

The spacious kitchen and living areas flow seamlessly together, making this home perfect for gatherings with family and friends.

Both the upstairs and downstairs bedroom areas offer access to beautifully remodeled full bathrooms, creating excellent flexibility for guests, families, or multi-generational living. The convenient half bath and laundry area are located just off the kitchen near the entry to the attached two-car garage. Located just seconds from the Loop and minutes from the hospital area, Normaltown, Alps Road shopping and dining, and the University of Georgia, this home combines updated features, generous space, and one of the most convenient locations in Athens real estate.
