Historic 1950s 3/2 cottage, with a highly desired Boulevard address, and a rare, park-like backyard, within several blocks of UGAs historic 58 acre Health Science Campus, over 30 acre Bishop Park ( with recreational fields, tennis courts, walking trails, swimming pool, and host to a seasonal local Farmers Artists Market ) , Piedmont hospital, Chase Street Elementary, and Normaltowns array of restaurants, coffee shop, pubs, live music, 2 grocery stores, fresh juice bar, and much more. This is a wonderfully central intown location, with an abundance of walk/bike destinations. This small, but efficiently laid out, cottage sits on a deep .33 acre lot, with a fenced, lush back yard. Theres a rear deck, just outside the kitchen back door, overlooking courtyard type space, and multiple paths that disappear into this forested intown oasis, with oak, pecan, walnut, magnolia, redbuds, buckeye, mahonia, dog hobble, beauty berry, kerria, azaleas, gardenia, sweet shrub, forsythia, a stand of bamboo screens the very rear of lot, and theres a variety of perennials that delight throughput the year. This green sanctuary seems to entice a wide variety of birds, who lend their symphonic voices and presence to this space. Returning to the cottage, the common area runs through the center of the house, with 2 bedrooms and a common bath off a small hall to right of communal living area; to the left of the common area is an owners suite. Most of the flooring throughout the house is oak, both baths have recently seen updates, the kitchen is older, yet with its own colorful charm, and a new metal roof was added in 2022. Should one need additional living space, the lot size can certainly accommodate an addition, and/or a secondary structure: a guest cottage, studio space , office, workshop, etc. Theres 2 off street parking spaces in front of house. The front of cottage is somewhat privately veiled by a large Magnolia, azaleas, gardenia, and other evergreen plants. The neighborhood is generally considered one of the most arts-centric in Athens. This may be the intown sanctuary youre looking for
