PRICE BELOW APPRAISAL! Conveniently located only a short drive from the neighboring downtown areas of Athens(10 mi), Commerce(11mi), Hull(7 mi), and Nicholson(5 mi), this quaint two-bedroom, one-bath country cottage is the perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city. Award-winning Madison County School System. Quiet neighborhood. Architectural shingle roof installed 1.5 years ago with a 30-year transferable warranty. The home sits on just over 2 acres with a peaceful bubbling creek and mature hardwoods on the backside of the property. The land around the home was cleared and graded in 2020. The front yard is adorned with a wooden picket fence, newly planted grass, and a Japanese maple tree that turns a brilliant purplish-red in the spring and fall. The large covered front porch provides plenty of sitting space to take in the picturesque countryside. Entering the home from the front porch, you'll find yourself in the living room containing its original hardwood floors, a brick fireplace-attached to a new ceramic wood-burning stove, a small built-in bookshelf, and a mounted TV that goes with the home. Antique farmhouse trim is continuous throughout the home, and bulls-eye rosettes embellish the door and window casings. Take the hallway to the right and you'll find the laundry room with built-in overhead cabinets, and plenty of additional shelving space on the left. Washer and dryer are included in the sale of this home. To the right of the laundry room is the recently remodeled bathroom with new tile, vanity, and tub/shower combo. Continue down the hallway to the first bedroom, which has two small closets and 6 windows that allow in an abundance of natural light. Return to the living room and continue straight to find the spacious kitchen, complete with a farmhouse sink, electric stove, original base cabinets with updated laminate countertops, and updated light fixtures. There are two doors leading outside from the kitchen. One is complete with a doggy door, and leads to another small covered porch. The other door has steps exiting from the opposite side of the kitchen. All doors have new hardware and keyless entry. From the kitchen, take the stairs leading to the finished attic, where you will find a small bonus room on the right, an ample amount of storage space, and an expansive second bedroom with built-in shelving on the left.
