About This Home
Welcome to paradise! 640 Tallassee Road offers a rare combination of thoughtful renovation, everyday convenience, and a backyard unlike anything else in this price point. This completely renovated two-bedroom, one-bath home is warm, inviting, and full of character, with an easy single-level floor plan designed to make the most of every space. Inside, the bright living room features updated flooring, a painted brick fireplace, and a natural flow into the kitchen and dining area. The renovated kitchen pairs dark cabinetry with warm wood countertops, open shelving, stainless steel appliances, a farmhouse sink, and charming hexagon tile flooring. A custom built-in breakfast nook creates the perfect spot for morning coffee or casual meals, while sliding glass doors connect the interior directly to the backyard. Both bedrooms are comfortably sized, and the updated bathroom brings personality with beadboard detailing, botanical wallpaper, a tiled tub and shower surround, open wood shelving, and a modern wood vanity. The true showstopper is outside! Surrounded by mature trees, the fenced backyard feels like a private retreat, complete with a custom plunge pool, layered waterfalls, rock-lined streams, landscape lighting, winding pathways, and multiple areas to relax or entertain. A rear deck and gravel patio offer even more room to enjoy the peaceful setting. Located just around the corner from the Oak Grove shopping plaza and Publix, with convenient access to Highway 129 and the Loop, this home makes it easy to reach Normaltown, Downtown Athens, and UGA. Local favorite Oglethorpe Garage is also right down the road. Renovated, full of personality, and centered around a truly unforgettable outdoor space, 640 Tallassee Road is anything but ordinary!
