Tucked at the edge of the Village of Athens, this sweet and wonderfully reimagined circa-1798 carriage house has been thoughtfully maintained and renewed while retaining the character and spirit of its origins. Two bedrooms, an open-format kitchen to the common space, a garden filled with perennial flowers, a perfect fire pit, and three bathrooms. With an easy to maintain footprint, the house feels simple, warm, and unpretentious--equally suited to a full-time life or a weekend escape. The house sits in a particularly lovely position: the village is right out front, with its sidewalks, neighbors, and walkability to town, while the woods begin right behind the property. It is the best of both worlds--social when you want it, private when you don't. Inside, hand-hewn beams and wide-plank floors honor the house's history, while recessed lighting on dimmers and a whole-house speaker system bring modern ease. Every window looks onto the garden and yard. In spring, lilacs and lily of the valley scent the air; in summer, the garden becomes a wonderful extension of the living space. There is a natural integrity here. Nothing excessive, not trying too hard--just a beautifully cared-for old house.
