Surround yourself with the timeless beauty and elegance of this Craftsman cottage perched atop a shady corner lot on Athens' storied Oglethorpe Avenue. This old soul boasts a playful floor plan inviting you and your guests to soak in the heart pine floors, lofty 12' ceilings, period light fixtures, ample natural light and miles of gorgeous trim work. The two generously sized bedrooms flank a central parlor that leads into a bright dining room adjoining a peaceful outdoor deck and firepit via French doors. A cheery kitchen with large terra-cotta floor tiles features a farmhouse sink overlooking mature trees. To each side find hand crafted salvaged pine cabinets and a custom-built kitchen island topped with walnut butcher block. Bring your books and curios for the handsome built-in cabinet in the living room, spark up a fire in the updated gas fireplace, and run a bath in the clawfoot tub surrounded with wainscot atop the pinwheel tile floor.
