About this home
Some houses don’t need a pitch — they just fit. At 295 First Street, scale, rhythm, and intention do the work. Renovated by a well-known local builder-designer recognized for character-forward, thoughtful construction, this in-town home balances clarity with warmth — design-forward without feeling precious, efficient without feeling compressed. With approximately 1,050 square feet of living space as it lives, the layout is deliberate and well proportioned. Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms are arranged to support daily life rather than maximize square footage on paper. Inside, warm wood floors ground the main living area, while natural light shifts gently throughout the day, giving the space a calm, lived-in ease. The kitchen sits comfortably at the center of the home — functional, efficient, and visually connected to the surrounding rooms. Both bathrooms carry their own point of view. One leans clean and modern, defined by rich wood tones and restraint. The other is a standout, pairing original avocado fixtures with newer tile for a look that feels confident, intentional, and full of personality. On one side of the home, the screened porch becomes part of the daily rhythm. Framed by warm wood and a slatted screen with painted accents, it feels sheltered without feeling closed off — a place for morning coffee, evening air, and the quiet routines that make a house feel settled. A small fenced yard opens toward county-owned vacant lots next door, creating an uncommon sense of openness for an in-town setting — more sky, more breathing room, fewer visual interruptions. Details throughout the property reinforce that same quiet competence: a 50-amp EV charger, a shed with power, thoughtful ventilation in the bathrooms, and a metal roof overhead. Nothing flashy. Nothing unfinished. Just a house that’s been handled with care. Set in an established in-town pocket with easy access to daily Athens life — parks, neighborhood streets, and the routes people actually use — 295 First Street offers a version of city living that feels considered rather than crowded. Right-sized, well-considered, and confidently designed, it’s a home that understands proportion, material, and restraint — and doesn’t need to explain itself.
