About 139 Tilson Rd
*Investor Special in Prime Athens Location - Unlock the Potential at 139 Tilson Rd* Located just 5 minutes from Five Points, Bear Hollow Zoo, and the UGA Botanical Gardens-and under 10 minutes to downtown Athens and Epps Bridge shopping (Costco, Best Buy, and more)-this property sits in one of the most desirable sweet spots between Athens and Oconee County. The location alone makes this a can't-miss opportunity. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers 1,553 sq ft of living space, but savvy investors will quickly see the potential to expand beyond 2,000 sq ft by converting the existing garage into a spacious master suite. The layout already includes a remodeled bathroom just off the garage entry-ideal for a seamless transformation into a 4-bedroom, master-on-main floor plan. Surrounded by mature landscaping and tucked into a quiet neighborhood, the home feels private while still offering all the perks of convenience and community. With flexible renovation options, this is the perfect canvas for a flip, long-term rental, or custom personal residence. Being sold as-is. Whether you're looking to renovate and resell, hold as a rental, or make it your own, 139 Tilson Rd is an incredible investment opportunity in one of Athens' most strategic locations.
