Charming Ranch in the heart of Chicopee-Dudley Neighborhood on Athens North side. 425 Ruth Street is the savvy investor's dream. Located just a short walk away from the North Oconee Greenway and less than 5 minutes from downtown Athens, this property includes a 4BR 2BA main house and a 2BR 1 BA guest cottage (that is in need of some TLC). Secluded on nearly a half-acre of nicely landscaped grounds, the foliage affords plenty of privacy in this bustling neighborhood. The main home is full of charm with its brick fireplace and original hardwood floors in the main living area. An efficient floorplan allows for nice-sized bedrooms and a quaint kitchen with plenty of space for an eat-in area. Unique to this property is a large common area between the two homes that is perfect for outdoor entertainment, plus parking room for five! A spacious deck and lawn shaded by gorgeous hardwoods create a very inviting space in which to relax and count your blessings. Take advantage of the proximity to UGA and add this two-home package to your investment portfolio
