Charming green-built cottage built by local artisan Andrew Malec. This is builder's personal home and it is imbued with wonderful details & craftsmanship. Located only 2 blocks from downtown Athens, it is within walking distance of 2 parks, the river, Greenway trails & multi-modal transportation center. This true craftsman home has an open common living area with vaulted 16.5 ft. ceilings, exposed beams, with tons of natural light. The common area opens to a large front porch, a rear screen porch and huge rear deck, totaling over 800' of exterior porch living space beautifully integrating outdoor/indoor livability. The kitchen has hickory cabinets, a reclaimed heart pine island, concrete counter tops with slate back splash, energy star stainless appliances and bamboo floors run throughout the common area, including the kitchen. The bedrooms and baths are each distinct and uniquely artful. The master suite has trey ceilings and opens directly to the rear deck. The master bath is exquisite with magical tile work throughout. There is wonderful landscaping, a fenced backyard and parking available off of 2 streets, both front and back. This is a truly unique property that must be seen to be fully appreciated.
