Three detached restored cottages on 0.65 acres, one block off downtown Athens. The Cottages at 559 Pulaski Street are comprised of 3 separate two-bedroom, one-bath homes, totaling six bedrooms, three baths and 2,208 square feet in all. The houses sit roughly 100 feet off the street behind green space and mature landscaping. No shared walls, no association, no dues. Every cottage was fully renovated down to the studs and rebuilt in 2017: ceramic tile and LVP flooring, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, brushed-nickel fixtures, and a washer and dryer in every unit. All-electric and energy efficient with a heat pump, double thermal windows, block construction and a metal roof. Tenant utilities have historically run $60 to $85 a month. Each home has its own 100 square foot deck with built-in bench seating, two dedicated parking spaces, and access to three additional on-street passes for a total of nine spaces for the property. Zoned RS-8. Three detached principal dwellings on a single lot this close to downtown could not be built today. Live in one and lease the other two, lease all three, or put three families on one deed with a private house apiece. Offered for cash, conventional financing or 1031 exchange. Tenant occupied — appointment only, please do not disturb tenants.
