Description
Some homes just work--and this one makes it look easy.
Welcome to 163 Easy Street: tucked in the heart of Normaltown, just a block from Boulevard, in a 15-home enclave where layout, location, and lifestyle fall into place without fuss.
Built in 2004 by Atlanta-based custom builder John Willis Homes, this one was made to last--with smart upgrades and refined character that still feels right at home in Athens. It's the kind of house where every turn holds something just a little more thoughtful than expected.
Step inside to an open main floor where rooms feel defined but connected: formal dining to your left, a built-in office/library to the right, and just ahead, a bright kitchen and eat-in space at the center. A butler's pantry ties dining and kitchen together, adding a subtle rhythm to everyday living and weekend gatherings. The living room--with Heatilator fireplace, built-ins, and soaring picture windows--anchors one side. On the other--a screened porch links both the living and kitchen areas, and leads to a sun deck made of durable Trex material. There's even a commercial ice machine in the kitchen, all hardwood flooring throughout, and a convenient half bath near the entry--perfect for entertaining.
Upstairs, the primary suite rises into the trees with vaulted ceilings, green views, and that rare kind of peace you didn't have to earn. It includes a Heatilator fireplace, double vanities, a soaking tub, and its own mini-split system for personalized comfort. Two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, pocketed just right to keep the noise out and the calm in.
And the terrace level? A full apartment with private entrance, open-concept living, kitchen, and dining space, steam shower, laundry, and bedroom--ideal for rental income, guests, or the long-term family plan. The adjacent gym space and newly added lockable storage in the two-car garage add even more flexibility.
A newer roof (2020), updated HVAC, water heater, and mini-split system round out recent upgrades. And outside, the fenced backyard offers green space views with all the in-town walkability you've been craving. Steps from Hi-Lo, Normal Bar, Sips, Flying Biscuit, Athentic, and the Prince Ave corridor--plus Bottleworks, 100 Prince, and Downtown just beyond.
It's graceful. It's grounded. And somehow, it still knows where your mismatched wine glass and good blanket go.
