Property Description

Welcome to 234 Sunset Drive, a beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in the heart of Athens' coveted Normaltown neighborhood. Offering just under 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space and a 40-foot, 10-foot-deep front porch with a swinging bed and serene back porch and patio, this home blends classic charm with extensive modern upgrades less than a mile from Downtown Athens and approximately 1.5 miles from Sanford Stadium. The main level features an open living area anchored by a natural gas fireplace and a fully updated kitchen outfitted with brand new Cafe appliances, including refrigerator, oven/stovetop, dishwasher, and microwave. A tankless water heater installed in 2025 supports efficient daily living, while a new side deck provides outdoor storage and access. The spacious primary suite offers vaulted ceilings and a spa-like steam shower. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete the main level, along with a convenient half bath for guests. A washer and dryer, approximately three years old, are included in the sale. Extensively improved and maintained, the home features a roof installed approximately five years ago, dual HVAC systems (approximately 5 and 10 years old), and major renovations completed in 2016 and 2021 by award-winning contractor, Tom Ellis. The crawl space was fully encapsulated in March 2026, making this one of the more comprehensively renovated homes in Normaltown. The property also conveys with an adjacent 0.08-acre bonus parcel. Normaltown offers pedestrian access to restaurants, shops, parks, Bishop Park's farmers market, Alps Road shopping, Piedmont Hospital, St. Mary's, and the expanding UGA School of Medicine campus. Zoned for Burks Elementary, the home offers a rare combination of location, extensive renovations, and updated systems in one of Athens' most sought-after neighborhoods.
