About this home
Welcome to 1303 W Madison Avenue, a rare opportunity to own a beautifully renovated historic home situated on a double lot totaling approximately 1.18 acres in the heart of Athens. Offering over 3,300 square feet of living space, this 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath brick home seamlessly blends timeless character, rich history, and modern conveniences in a location that's hard to match.
From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the home's stunning curb appeal. A charming brick walkway leads to a covered front porch adorned with elegant arches, creating a warm and inviting entrance that perfectly reflects the character found throughout the property.
Inside, the oversized living room serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring a beautiful fireplace, abundant natural light, and a grand staircase that creates an unforgettable first impression. The formal dining room flows seamlessly into the completely renovated kitchen, where you'll find updated cabinetry, beautiful countertops, subway tile backsplash, and a matching Samsung glass-front appliance package, including a gas range. A spacious walk-in pantry provides ample room for small appliances, storage, and everyday essentials.
Just beyond the kitchen is a generously sized flex space offering endless possibilities. Whether used as a second dining area, home office, mudroom, sitting room, or additional living space, this area provides exceptional functionality and includes abundant storage and a convenient laundry area.
The main level continues to impress with a dedicated library, two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a spacious primary suite featuring its own fireplace, custom closet, and dedicated HVAC system for enhanced comfort. With its generous layout and separation from the remainder of the home, the primary suite area offers excellent potential for a private mother-in-law suite, guest quarters, or even a future apartment-style living space. One secondary bedroom also includes a private half-bath ensuite, making it ideal for guests or flexible living arrangements.
Upstairs, you'll find two oversized bedrooms with large closets and an additional full bathroom, providing plenty of room for family, guests, hobbies, or work-from-home needs.
Outside, the property is every bit as impressive as the interior. The rare double lot offers approximately 1.18 acres within the Athens city limits, creating a level of space and privacy that is increasingly difficult to find. The fenced backyard provides plenty of room for gardening, recreation, pets, and entertaining. A charming stone patio creates the perfect outdoor gathering space, and the hot tub will convey with the property, offering a relaxing retreat year-round.
Additional features include a detached garage/workshop, an additional storage building, and ample parking. A unique advantage of this property is its dual points of access, with driveways from both West Madison Avenue and Matlock Avenue, providing exceptional convenience and flexibility for large families, multi-generational living, home-based businesses, or hosting guests.
Located just minutes from downtown Athens, you'll enjoy convenient access to local dining, shopping, schools, parks, and community events while still enjoying the privacy and space of this remarkable property.
Beautifully and thoughtfully renovated while preserving the character and charm that make historic homes so desirable, 1303 W Madison Avenue offers a rare combination of history, modern updates, acreage, and location. Opportunities like this rarely become available in the heart of Athens....
