About this home

Some homes have a way of making you slow down, stay awhile, and imagine the memories waiting to be made. Set on approximately 19 acres in Athens, Tennessee, this 4,779.5 sq. ft. brick farmhouse is one of those special places. A home with room to gather, land to explore, and endless possibilities for its next chapter. Surrounded by peaceful acreage and seasonal views, the property offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, multiple living spaces, a barn, and the kind of privacy that makes country living so special. Whether your dream is to raise a family here, bring the animals, create a farm or homestead, explore the possibility of another homesite, or simply enjoy having 19 acres to call your own, there is room here for that dream to grow. This is a home with good bones, generous spaces, and so much character already in place. While it is ready for some updates, repairs, and a little extra love, it also gives its next owners the opportunity to breathe new life into it and make it truly their own. Step inside and you'll find a home designed for living and gathering. Natural light fills the interior, while a welcoming foyer leads into the living room with real hardwood floors and an electric fireplace. The spacious laundry room features a utility sink, and the kitchen offers generous workspace along with a breakfast nook made for slow mornings and conversations over coffee. Multiple entrances throughout the home create an easy connection to the outdoors and surrounding acreage. The sunroom may quickly become a favorite place to spend time, with a wood-burning fireplace and a cozy setting for watching the seasons change outside. The primary suite has a character all on its own with beautiful ceiling beams and private access to the porch, a peaceful spot to begin or end the day. Three additional bedrooms offer plenty of flexibility for family, guests, a home office, hobby room, or whatever the next owners may need. Downstairs, you'll find even more space waiting for a new vision. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the basement, while an additional garage, storage rooms, workshop space, and a full bathroom provide a great starting point for what this level could one day become. With the right improvements, future owners could explore transforming portions of the basement into additional living or entertaining space, guest accommodations, an in-law setup, a hobby area, or a more customized workshop. The possibilities are there for someone ready to bring their ideas to life. Outside, the approximately 19 acres offer a blank canvas for the life you've imagined. The barn provides space for animals, equipment, storage, or future projects, while the land invites you to roam, garden, farm, build, or simply enjoy the quiet. With wide-open space all around, there's room to watch the sunsets, enjoy the changing seasons, and create new memories for years to come. And although it feels peacefully tucked away in the country, you're less than 10 minutes from the conveniences of Athens and within easy reach of I-75. This is the kind of property that has been a home in every sense of the word. It may be ready for a little love and a fresh vision, but that's part of what makes the opportunity so special, the chance for someone new to make it their own and begin the next chapter of this beautiful 19-acre property.
