170 Cohen St, Athens, GA 30601

Property Description

Set on a quiet, dead-end street in Athens’ historic Boulevard District, 170 Cohen Street offers something that’s not easy to find: a newer home with the character and setting of one of the city’s most established neighborhoods. Built in 2009, this four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home pairs a thoughtful floorplan with inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, all within easy reach of some of Athens’ favorite destinations. Reclaimed hardwood floors bring warmth and personality to the main level, beginning with a flexible room just off the entry that works equally well as an office, sitting room, or additional living space. The main-level primary suite is privately positioned to the left and features a spacious bathroom with a jetted tub and a large walk-in closet. At the back of the home, the floorplan opens into a bright and comfortable living area designed for everyday life and entertaining. Built-in cabinetry frames the gas fireplace, while large windows bring the inside out with great views of the backyard. The kitchen offers plenty of workspace, a large center island, an impressive walk-in pantry, and an additional butler’s pantry for even more storage. The living spaces extend outdoors to a generous back deck overlooking the fully fenced and private backyard. A flagstone path leads to a circular fire pit area, creating another great spot to gather, while the shed, added in 2024, provides convenient additional storage. Upstairs, a central landing offers just enough room for a desk, reading nook, or homework space. Three well-sized bedrooms share a full bathroom finished with classic penny tile and the laundry room is conveniently located on this level as well. The home has also benefited from a number of updates, including a tankless water heater, new gutters and window screens, dishwasher, refrigerator, and refreshed landscaping in both the front and back yards. And then there’s the location. Cohen Street has no through traffic, giving it a tucked-away feel while keeping you remarkably close to everything. Chase Street Elementary is just steps away, and the restaurants, coffee shops, and local businesses along Prince Avenue are a stone's throw away. Piedmont Athens Regional and UGA’s Health Sciences Campus, home to the university’s new School of Medicine, are also just minutes away. With a main-level primary suite, flexible living spaces, a private backyard, and a hard-to-beat Boulevard location, 170 Cohen Street brings together the features of a newer home with the neighborhood character that makes this part of Athens so special. Come see it for yourself.
