Property Description
Discover the perfect blend of mid-century character and modern convenience at 160 Tara Place, nestled in the heart of Athens' highly sought-after Green Acres neighborhood. Set on a sprawling, private 0.61-acre lot, this classic single-story residence radiates a "warmth of home" that has been cherished by the same owner since 1998. Boasting an impressive street presence with a welcoming covered front porch, the home invites you into a world of timeless design. Upon entry, you are greeted by the glow of original hardwood floors that flow seamlessly through the main living areas. The formal living room, anchored by a large picture window, bathes the space in natural light and opens into an elegant dining room featuring authentic mid-century wood-paneled wainscoting, the ideal backdrop for intimate dinner parties. The heart of the home lies in the kitchen and breakfast nook, complete with wood cabinetry and a functional pantry. Nearby, the oversized laundry room offers a rare level of utility with abundant storage and folding countertops. For more relaxed moments, retreat to the family room, where a brick fireplace (currently featuring an electric insert but easily converted back to wood-burning) serves as a cozy focal point. This space leads directly into a stunning four-season sunroom, offering a year-round sanctuary to enjoy views of your expansive, level, and fully fenced backyard. Outdoor enthusiasts will fall in love with the oversized concrete patio, a premier setting for al fresco dining and summer soirées. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with dual closets and an en-suite bath, while two additional guest bedrooms provide ample space and natural light. With a two-car garage, a two-car carport, and a location that is walkable to the new Kroger and Publix shopping centers, restaurants, and the UGA Vet Hospital, this is more than a house; it is a canvas waiting for your personal touch.
