Property Description
Charming Athens Home with a Thriving Food Forest!
Welcome to 515 Forest Heights Drive — a one-of-a-kind gem nestled in one of Athens' most desirable neighborhoods. This inviting home offers the perfect blend of natural beauty and modern comfort. Set on a lush, well-maintained lot, the front yard features a fully established food forest—an edible landscape designed for low-maintenance abundance. Imagine stepping outside your front door to harvest fresh fruits, berries, herbs, and greens throughout the seasons!
Inside, the main floor is open combining the fully remodeled kitchen and a warm light filled living area perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The kitchen features solid quartzite countertops, new stainless steel appliances, and custom handmade solid maple cabinets. You can access the backyard through a sliding glass door from either the screened in porch or the adjoining open deck. On the upper level you will find three bedrooms, including the primary suite with its own bathroom, as well as a shared full bath. The lower level features a guest suite with fireplace and full bath that has its own separate walk out and driveway. The laundry room is also located on that level with access to the enclosed garage with a newer roll up door. The home is full of charming touches throughout, including a wood burning stove on the main floor. The crawlspace has been encapsulated and the insulation has been redone making the home more energy efficient.
The spacious backyard, mature trees, chicken coop, greenhouse, and quiet corner lot offer privacy and a serene connection to nature— while also giving you the rare blend of urban convenience as it is just minutes from downtown Athens, UGA, and local shops and restaurants. Whether you're a gardener, a foodie, or simply looking for a peaceful sanctuary, this home offers a truly special lifestyle.
Don't miss your chance to own a living landscape and a beautiful home in the heart of Athens!
