Bright In-town Bungalow, 1/2 mile to UGA Arch on North Campus

Description

Family-friendly bungalow with beautiful natural light, built in 2005 at the true edge of downtown Athens. This 3 BR/2 bath sits at the edge of the downtown river district and is four blocks from the downtown historic district. Very convenient to campus: walk 1/2 mile to the UGA Arch; just 2 blocks to the Athens Multi-Modal Transportation Center on campus bus routes. The quiet setting in a single-family neighborhood combined with the deep set-back from the street make it easy to forget you are just footsteps away from a vibrant downtown. The location offers the best of both worlds: closest possible proximity to downtown/north campus AND a neighborhood setting with more greenspace than anywhere else in-town: Dudley Park, the Firefly Trail, Trail Creek mountain biking & the Greenway are a stone's throw away. For groups traveling with young children, we have thoughtfully incorporated safety recommendations according to Safe Kids Worldwide and there are children's items throughout the house (diaper changing table and changing pad, high chair, booster seats, safety gate, stepping stool, toys, books etc.). There are configurations that work well to set up a crib but there is not currently a crib at the house. We are happy to discuss the addition of a crib if needed. - 1300 sq ft, plus 340 sq feet of covered porch area. - Primary bedroom has Queen bed + en suite bathroom.
