Step into the character and possibilities of this historic 5-bedroom, 3-bath home situated on the historic Winterville square and parade route! For buyers who appreciate older homes, many of the major improvements that can be difficult and costly to address have already been completed, including the roof, HVAC, electrical, footings, two additional rooms, and an updated bathroom. The remaining updates are primarily cosmetic, including paint and exterior work, creating an opportunity for the next owner to personalize the finishes while building on improvements already made. The main residence offers 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 full baths and is filled with historic character, including original hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, oversized windows, rich wood trim, decorative fireplaces, pocket doors, built-in cabinetry, and classic architectural details throughout. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and a center island, while multiple living and dining spaces provide flexibility for entertaining, working from home, or everyday living. One of the property's most unique features is the rare attached, handicap-accessible apartment offering 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, a full kitchen, and separate living space, providing excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, guests, a home office, or other possibilities. Additional heated and cooled hangout space adds even more versatility. Outside, you'll find mature landscaping, a fenced backyard, a detached outbuilding ideal for storage or a workshop, and a classic rocking chair front porch. The location is truly a standout, with Pittard Park, the Farmers Market, Winterville Library, The Farm Stop, Marigold Auditorium, the Cultural Center, and access to the Firefly Trail all within walking distance. Downtown Athens is approximately 15 minutes away, offering an exceptional combination of historic character, flexible living space, and a walkable small-town setting that is difficult to replicate.
