About 209 Athens St

Your historical dream home awaits. Originally constructed in 1861, this amazing home has stood the test of time and offers modern conveniences while preserving its historical charm.

Everything has been painstakingly preserved, including the original large plank hardwood floors which are throughout. The main level offers one of two primary bedroom suites, two large living areas, a grand dining room, and a half bath. On this floor you will also find the kitchen, thoughtfully modernized with butcher block counters, stainless appliances and a fabulous butlers pantry that leads to the cozy sunroom. The upstairs primary suite showcases some of the original 12" wide shiplap, a spa-like bathroom and new custom walk-in closet. The upstairs laundry room is a dream with a sink, folding station and tons of storage. Rounding out the second floor are two large secondary bedrooms, a full bath with a gorgeous claw foot tub, and a home office. With fresh interior paint, newer appliances, water heater, and metal roof, all you need to do is move in, then relax on the gazebo while watching the fish in the koi pond in the private, fenced backyard. The charming Carriage House, with electrical and HVAC, offers an additional 395sf for a home office or Airbnb potential.
