Property Description
Some homes dont just sit on a street; they perch, they rise, they become part of the landscape. 386 Rosa Nell Howard Street is one of those homes: built in 1910 and nestled into the hillside, this elevated escape feels like a treehouse with history, where warmth, character, and thoughtful updates create something truly special. Inside, natural light spills across beadboard ceilings and original heart pine flooring, highlighting the homes inviting charm. A decorative double-sided brick fireplace connects the bedrooms, adding warmth and texture to both spaces. The kitchen balances reclaimed wood shelving with upgraded appliances and fixtures, where vintage style meets everyday practicality. With plenty of space for a center island, cooking, gathering, and everyday living in this kitchen is as functional as it is inviting. In the full bath, a recently installed double vanity offers extra room, and newly added storage and shelving provide practical updates without disrupting the homes historic charm. The half bath doubles as a laundry room, making smart use of space. Tile flooring adds a touch of character, and theres potential to maximize storage with additional cabinetry, keeping everything neatly tucked away. Step outside, and the magic continues. The yard has been revitalized with fresh grass, thriving grapevines, a fig tree, and a peach tree, transforming the space into a lush garden sanctuary. With a little patience, next summer could bring the first juicy peaches, ripening in the Georgia sun. The front porch, shaded by towering trees, offers a peaceful spot for morning coffee or unwinding at dusk. Look out, and you can see downtown Athens a reminder that while this home feels like a world of its own, the citys energy is always close by. That connection to Athens is part of what makes this location so special. Christine Howard Park & Community Center sits just down the street, while the North Oconee River Greenway is practically at your doorstep, linking you to miles of trails and outdoor space. Venture over to Walker Park to hit the mountain biking and hiking paths, relax by the shoals of Trail Creek, or soak up the greenspace at Dudley Park all just a short distance away. With UGAs main campus minutes away, getting around is effortless whether its a morning walk to class, a bike ride along the river, or a quick trip downtown, youre always close to what matters. Theres also history in the very name of the street. Once known as Odd Street, it was renamed in honor of Rosa Nell Howard, a devoted educator and community leader who lived here for over 60 years until her passing at the remarkable age of 108. The transformation reflects the evolution of this neighborhood one of growth, renewal, and a lasting sense of place. A home like this doesnt just house a life it shapes it. And 386 Rosa Nell Howard Street is ready for its next chapter. Make it yours!
