Inside, the home features a flexible layout with both a living room and a cozy family room, highlighted by a wood-burning fireplace (cleaned and serviced in 2023) and French doors framing the creek and treed backyard. The updated kitchen includes a moveable island for versatile prep and dining space. Three comfortable bedrooms include a private primary suite with walk-in closet, complemented by two remodeled bathrooms and a dedicated laundry room, plus an attached 1-car garage. Extensive renovations in 2022-2023 include new HVAC systems, water heater, flooring, paint, drywall, plumbing, and electrical, along with a 2016 metal roof.

Conveniently close to the Eureka Trail trailhead (just minutes away at 1400 E. Madison Ave.) and downtown Athens, this location blends peaceful living with easy access to outdoor recreation and city amenities. The Eureka Trail is a scenic 5.6-mile multi-use gravel rail-trail connecting Athens and Englewood, ideal for walking, running, biking, or horseback riding along a flat, shaded path through woodlands and farmland, with restrooms, parking, a bike repair station, and a 0.5-mile Health Triangle loop at the Athens trailhead. Downtown Athens offers charming shops, local restaurants, historic buildings, and community events, as well as nearby Prof Powers Park for picnics and the Mayfield Dairy Farms Visitor Center for tours and ice cream--perfect for quick outings from your creekside retreat.
