Welcome to 892 Hill St. , a charming bungalow in one of Athens' most sought-after neighborhoods, historic Cobbham. Built by Athens legend Ben Epps, this home offers a genuine piece of local history along with the timeless character this neighborhood is known for. The inviting front porch is a standout feature and a great spot to connect with neighbors, setting the tone for the rest of the home. Inside, the 1,258 SF main house offers 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths full of historic charm, with major updates already in place — a new roof and a new HVAC system — for a truly move-in ready opportunity. In the backyard is a detached, quaint 480 SF ADU studio that adds excellent flexibility and investment potential. It includes its own full bath and is already stubbed for a kitchenette, making it easy to convert into an in-law suite, guest quarters, or income-producing rental. The ADU also features a mini-split system installed in 2024 for efficient, independent heating and cooling. Behind the ADU, a fire pit and entertainment space provide even more room to gather and enjoy Cobbham. Location is a major selling point: the home is pedestrian to Normaltown, the Prince Avenue corridor, downtown Athens, and Sanford Stadium, offering walkable access to dining, shopping, and game-day entertainment. Historic charm, a storied past, and a flexible ADU in one of Athens' premier neighborhoods — 892 Hill St. is an outstanding opportunity. * Seller is a licensed real estate Agent in the state of Georgia.
