Historic home in 5-Points on lush, .39 acre lot, just for Milledge Avenue, across from a beautiful church, and blocks from UGA’s main campus, the 5-Points commercial district (with nice restaurants, pubs, Earthfare grocery store, & retail ), and Memorial Park, which features a lake, walking trails, picnic areas, green space, community pool, Bear Hollow Zoo, and Community Theater.
This is a huge, sprawling, 4840’ home, with an abundance of large rooms, a versatile floor plan, and good bones. Currently, there are 6 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a number of large common area rooms. There’s also an unfinished daylight basement that once was a separate 2/1 apartment (which could be built out as a guest/family apartment, or Airb&b income), has a huge screen porch with outdoor brick fireplace, a huge left rear deck, and 2 other porches. In the lush backyard, imbued with Magnolia, Camellia, boxwood hedges, and a diverse array of botanical wonders, which creates a privacy screen to the rear and left side of property, there’s the foundation and walls of an old structure, as well as fencing for what may have been dog kennels.
This property has been rented for decades, so it needs considerable updating, but this is an opportunity to custom renovate a large historic 5-Points home to fit one’s personal vision, and return this once regal home to owner-occupancy.
The property is rented thru May of 2020 for $3300 month. Showings require 24 hour notice, and please schedule weekend showings during weekday business hours.
