Forest Heights Charmer.

Whether you're in the market for your next rental investment or a primary residence with an in-law suite, this move-in ready home can definitely meet your needs. Appointed with desirable features, distinctive upgrades immediately come into focus as you're welcomed through the front entry. Gleaming, wide-plank hardwood flooring throughout the living areas, updated light fixtures, plus remote-controlled ceiling fans, wood-burning stove, and neutral paint palette are just few key highlights. Unlike many circa 1960's brick ranches, this home offers a completely open living/dining design that truly maximizes every inch of usable space. This layout provides ample opportunity for multiple furniture placement options and is perfect for entertaining. With hosting in mind, the home chef can easily interact with guest, with only an island separating them, as delightful aromas fill the air from the Kitchen. Updated with painted cabinetry, a butchers' block island including an open range/oven plus a vent-hood, and ample counter space, the bright, airy kitchen is ready for you to work your magic. Grouped together down the right hallway are 3 bedrooms, each offering ceiling fan light fixtures to keep you cool on those upcoming Summer nights and ample closet space. The owner's suite can be found tucked away at the end of the hallway and is complete with a private full bath. One can't help but notice the hip, spiral staircase that leads you to the daylight terrace level. A rare find, this expansion provides an additional 810+/- sq. ft. of living space, boasting versatility and multiple use options. Also, offering an open concept, the lower level features an oversized living room flowing to the kitchen, adorned with ceramic tile floors providing extra durability, 9 ft. ceilings, built-in storage shelving and private exterior access. A guest suite is hidden away off the kitchen allowing the lower level to serve as the perfect in-law suite, or rental apartment. The basement is complete with a massive storage area with built-in work station. Whether you're in need of expansive storage space, workshop or looking to finish the basement further, the choice is up to you. Amenities extend to the exterior where outdoor living is in abundance with the covered front porch, private rear deck off the main level, or enjoy time on the brick patio spanning the length of the home, overlooking the natural terraced terrain to the creek. This total package is complete with a desirable, in-town location, boasting superior convenience to Loop 10, and within 7 minutes to Downtown Athens. Forest Heights is calling you home!
