4 Beds 2 Baths 10807881 MLS
Check out this charming, historic home in the heart of Normaltown - about 1/2 mile from multiple restaurants, coffee shops, Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center, and the new UGA Med School. Downtown Athens and UGA are just 1.5 miles away! This 4 sided brick home built in 1940 has been lovingly updated with a brand new kitchen and laundry area, fresh paint, new HVAC and ductwork, tankless water heater, fencing, and crawl space vapor barrier. ** NEW ROOF coming in early September! The majority of the windows have been replaced with exact replicas of the original ones (but better insulated). Several original interior doors have been stripped and re-stained, with the original hardware cleaned and reinstalled. Two bedrooms, including the Primary bedroom, are on the main floor (one is being used as a music room / office), with a full bath. Two more bedrooms are upstairs with a bath and sitting area. This home is move in ready - just add your own special touches! The front porch and patio are perfect for relaxing with friends and family, and have been great for hosting PorchFest bands 4 years in a row. Raised beds and other planters make this in-town garden space easy to grow your own veggies, and the huge fig tree is another bonus! The backyard is fully fenced, and there's plenty of off-street parking as well, including a garage and carport.

Some properties require imagination. At 530 Holman Avenue, possibility is already built in. The original 1950 cottage still feels like itself. The proportions are intact. Newer divided-light windows soften the daylight, warm wood floors run through the living spaces, and the brick fireplace continues to anchor the living room. The kitchen and baths are updated without asking the house to become something it isnt. Stone counters, white cabinetry, brass-toned hardware, layered lighting, and an easy connection to the dining area give the house what it needs now without sanding down what was already there. A screened porch, basement storage, a newer roof, recently replaced water heater, and a French drain system reflect years of steady stewardship rather than last-minute preparation. Then the property evolves. Completed in 2020, the detached accessory dwelling extends the property in a way thats increasingly difficult to find. The lower level is a conditioned workshop with oversized windows, a mini-split system, hot water, a half bath, recessed lighting, and enough room to actually work. Whether thats woodworking, bicycles, furniture restoration, art, gardening, or simply a place to leave projects out between weekends, its a room that earns its square footage. A framed opening also allows for a future staircase, creating the option to connect the workshop directly to the living space above. Climb the stairs, and the atmosphere changes completely. Painted shiplap, warm wood ceilings, stained wood doors, dark cabinetry, patterned tile, black fixtures, and windows looking into the trees give the space a personality all its own. The apartment includes a living room with a built-in sleeping nook, a kitchenette, an office, a full bath, laundry, and a private deck. It doesnt feel like leftover space. It feels like someone built a place they genuinely wanted to spend time. The remarkable thing about this property isnt that it gives you options; its that someone already did the difficult work of imagining them for you. The cottage welcomes everyday life. The workshop invites projects that would overwhelm a garage. The apartment offers genuine privacy. Together they make room for family, guests, work, creativity, storage, and supplemental income without asking you to start from scratch. Just blocks from Normaltown restaurants, Bishop Park, Piedmont Athens Regional, and downtown Athens, the location is every bit as compelling as the property itself. Holman Avenue has long been one of Athens most admired in-town streets, valued as much for its sense of neighborhood as its proximity. Pair that setting with a restored cottage and a fully realized detached accessory dwelling, and the result is a property thats remarkably difficult to replicate.
