834 Hill Street

Located in the heart of the beloved Cobbham Historic District, 834 Hill Street is a rare blend of timeless character and thoughtful modern luxury. Known for its vibrant sidewalk streets, welcoming front porches, and true sense of community, Cobbham offers one of Athens’ most treasured neighborhood experiences. Circa 1900 and fully renovated in 2017, this exceptional home was honored with the Athens-Clarke Heritage Foundation’s Outstanding Rehabilitation Award in 2018, a testament to the care taken in preserving its historic integrity while elevating it for today’s living. A deep, wraparound front porch sets the tone, anchored by the home’s original wood front door with built-in doorbell. Inside, the home features four original fireplaces at its center, 10-foot ceilings, beautiful built-ins, and two gracious formal rooms flanking the entrance. A formal dining room flows seamlessly into the stunning gourmet kitchen, complete with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, abundant storage, a Wolf 6-burner range, and dual sinks—perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. A light-filled sunroom addition offers floor-to-ceiling windows, custom built-ins, and a gas fireplace. The owner’s suite on the main level is a private retreat with a luxurious marble bath featuring a separate soaking tub, fully tiled shower, double vanity, and custom closet. Two additional main-level bedrooms share a beautifully designed hall bath with classic black-and-white tile. Upstairs, a versatile bonus/craft room with a half bath and extensive built-ins provides flexible space for work, hobbies, or guests. The two-car garage includes a separate apartment above, complete with kitchenette, living area, and full bath—ideal for guests, rental income, or a private office. Outside, the fenced yard offers a charming garden area at the rear, while the exceptional lot provides rare drive-through access from Hill Street to Billups, along with ample off-street parking.
