Welcome to one of the sweetest communities in Athens! Green Acres offers the perfect lifestyle - kind neighbors maintaining their properties, shopping and restaurants just a short walk, drive, or bike ride away, and all schools within a five-minute drive. Want to keep informed? An HOA is here if you want to join, but it's not mandatory. There is a community pool with a swim team, but membership is voluntary! Perfectly located just inside it is this beautiful mid-century modern home with 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, and a great, big ol' yard to enjoy! Sure, the house needs some updating (the seller is offering $5,000 towards closing costs to help with flooring), but it has so much charm! From the foyer to your left is a large galley kitchen with a built-in banquette and a coffee bar with a chalkboard for your good morning messages. The breakfast area extends into a family room with wood parquet flooring, cupboard, a brick fireplace with rough hewn mantle, a step-down bonus area, great for a cozy tv and game space, and a large bay window with bench and storage. Behind this space is a large laundry/utility room. On the other side of the kitchen is a spacious great room for dining and entertainment with hardwood floors, ceiling fan, and french doors to a low-maintenance, concrete deck. Extending from the great room and the foyer are the bedrooms - two secondary bedrooms with hardwood floors, one across from the full bathroom in the hall and one with an ensuite half bath; a private primary suite with a walk-in closet, a full ensuite bathroom with a large, jetted tub for soaking and a separate shower; and, french doors to an adjoining deck! In addition to the decks, the back yard offers a large patio that steps down into a stone fire pit area. The outbuilding conveys with the sale and offers tinkering space and perfect storage for lawn equipment. This home is perfect for starting out or for down-sizing or for in-between! It's also a great investment for college students, with easy access to the UGA campus; or, as a second home to enjoy the football games when you can make it and Airbnb it when you can't! Compare the square footage with the comps and you'll know this is a great investment for this wonderful home & community! *All the wiring in the home was updated in 2019. Home warranty included in the sale. Listing Broker is part principal.*
