About this home

NEW PRICE -- $279,900! If space and updates are at the top of your list, this Athens home offers an exceptional amount of living space for the price with 2,130 square feet, 3 bedrooms and 2 baths--all on one level. The open living and dining area connects to an updated kitchen with granite countertops, island, breakfast bar and included appliances, while a second living/flex area provides additional space for a den, media room, home office, playroom or hobbies. Major improvements completed in 2024-2025 include updates to the roof, HVAC, plumbing and electrical, helping take some of the big-ticket concerns off the list for the next owner. The spacious primary bedroom, main-level laundry and multiple gathering areas make the floor plan both practical and flexible. Outside, the property includes two parcels totaling approximately 0.48 acre, a two-car carport, deck and an existing concrete pad offering additional usable space. Public water and sewer, high-speed internet availability and no HOA add to the convenience. With over 2,100 square feet at $279,900, this home offers the space, updates and flexibility that can be difficult to find in this price range. FHA, VA, USDA and conventional financing options may be available, subject to lender and property qualification. Some photographs have been virtually staged to illustrate furniture placement and potential room use.
