This is an extremely charming, historic home located in the Dearing St. historic district off of Milledge Ave., very close to Downtown Athens and the UGA Campus. It has 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, keeping room, wet bar, commercial-grade kitchen appliances and a finished basement with a media/rec room.

The marvelous covered patio, with columns surrounding, provides a comfortable and private place to relax and admire the landscape.

22 Chestnut Oak Run
$599,000
Martha Henderson (706) 540-6764

This home is located in the Oak Grove subdivision located in West Athens, off Hwy 29/Jefferson Rd. The development was built following the “new urbanism” philosophy of sidewalks, small yards and large common areas. The neighborhood shares a clubhouse, tennis court and swimming pool. The return to a traditional form of development serves this area well, as there is beautiful old forest surrounding and a highway leading into/out of town that rarely experiences grid lock.  The home has 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, custom kitchen cabinetry, wet bar, whirlpool bathtubs, wood floors and a 2-car garage. The backyard is xeriscaped, has a stone patio, arbor, and features an amazing koi pond as the centerpiece.

155 Wexford Place
$749,900
Reign Streiter (706) 372-4166

This luxurious home has it all, and then some. With over 6,000 sq.ft. and a guest home, there is plenty of room for family and friends. They will be kept busy with a swimming pool, tennis court, large outdoor gazebo, and 3+ acres to enjoy. The master bedroom has 2 bathrooms, one with a steam shower, and a fantastically large closet. The guest house has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a full kitchen. Really, there are too many luxuries in this home to be listed here!
