163 Easy Street

OPEN HOUSE: Sunday August 17th, 2:00 to 4:00 pm. 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 structural integrity, refined character, and updates that still feel right at home in Athens. Step inside to an open main floor where rooms feel defined but connected: formal dining to the left, a built-in office/library to the right, and just ahead, a bright kitchen and eat-in space at center. A butler's pantry ties the dining room and kitchen together, adding a subtle rhythm to everyday living and weekend gatherings. The living room-with Heatilator fireplace, built-ins, and picture windows-anchors one side, while a side-screened porch connects the living and kitchen areas and leads to a sun deck made of durable Trex material. Throughout the home, there's true hardwood flooring (no carpet in sight), and a newly installed commercial ice machine and a half bath near the entry make entertaining just that much easier. 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, soaking tub, double vanities, 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. The terrace level includes a fully finished apartment with a private entrance and its own open-concept living room, dining area, full kitchen, bedroom, laundry, and steam shower bath-perfect for renters, guests, or long-term family. A separate flex room (currently used as a gym) adds even more utility, and the two-car garage includes newly added lockable storage for Airbnb or owner use. 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. You're just steps from Hi-Lo, Sips, Flying Biscuit, Athentic Brewing, 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.
