Nestled in the much sought-after Normaltown neighborhood, 196 Holman Avenue is an impressive and captivating 3-bedroom, 3-bath cottage that effortlessly combines modern living with timeless charm in the heart of Athens. Completely and beautifully renovated, this home is only 2 miles from UGA and is ideal for the daily commuter. It offers the added convenience of being within walking distance to Piedmont Hospital, the Medical School, the farmers market at Bishop Park, and local favorites like Automatic Pizza and Normal Bar, along with other Prince Ave favorites! Its also zoned for the award-winning Chase Street (Johnnie Lay Burks) Elementary School. This is one of the best Normaltown properties we've seen in a while! The house is set back on a private and spacious lot. The kitchen is a standout feature with its marble countertops, gas range, floating shelves, and elegant tile backsplash. The extra large mudroom/laundry room is not only beautiful with built in cabinets and slate floor but offers the extra storage and work space needed to make a house a home. The primary bedroom suite was renovated to include a beautiful large bathroom and walk in closet with custom built in shelves and dresser. The second bedroom is also on the main floor and has a renovated large bathroom in the hallway. The owner's 2021 appraiser called the upstairs a true third bedroom and bathroom, but it functions a bit more like bonus space. Currently set up as an office and guest room, it's extremely functional, even though it has sloped ceilings. The Original Hardwood floors and design features throughout the house help maintain the old world historic charm. The owners have invested in all new plumbing, HVAC, and spray foam insulation, making the house much more efficient than other similar old houses in this area. One of the best things about the house is the outside living space! There is a cute screen porch on the side of the house and the backyard has a large brick patio and privacy fence. It is a peaceful and private sanctuary perfect for relaxing or enjoying all kinds of outdoor living and hosting. The property also includes a detached single-car garage with workshop, a true rarity for this neighborhood. There is so much character throughout the home and it is fantastic for entertaining both inside and out with plenty of off street parking. This house is special and won't last long!
