Welcome to 800 College Avenue – a rare opportunity for downtown Athens living without the burden of an HOA. This updated end-unit townhome offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and long-term potential.
Fully renovated in 2025, the home features two bedrooms and one-and-a-half baths with a thoughtful floor plan. The main level offers an open-concept living and dining area with fresh LVP flooring, a neutral color palette, and a fully modernized kitchen with crisp white cabinetry and included appliances. A stylish powder room completes the first floor. Upstairs, you'll find two well-sized bedrooms and a bright, contemporary full bathroom.
Outdoor living is just as appealing. A covered patio at the rear of the unit provides access to an oversized utility room with washer and dryer, plus space for extra storage or an additional appliance. The private, fenced backyard is easy to maintain as it is covered in moss and shaded by a mature tree, offering a tranquil retreat. Two off-street parking spots are directly behind the home for added convenience.
The location is what truly sets this property apart. Just eight blocks from the iconic UGA Arch, it’s within walking distance to the University of Georgia, downtown dining, live music, and more. Across the street, the transformative redevelopment of North Downtown Athens is poised to bring upscale retail, restaurants, and urban green space to the area—further enhancing the neighborhood's lifestyle appeal.
Moments away from cultural and recreational amenities such as the Lyndon House Arts Center and Lay Park’s pool, tennis, and basketball courts, this townhome is ideal for a variety of buyers—whether you're looking for a primary residence, a game-day getaway, or a solid rental investment.
With no HOA, a double lot, updated interiors, and unbeatable location, this home presents a unique chance to enjoy the best of what Athens has to offer—now and in the years to come. Lay Community Center Pool is around the block
