Monthly Estimate* How much can I afford?

What if your next home gave you nearly an acre, more than 2,100 square feet and a front yard that has a large creek running through it? Tucked at the end of a quiet street in Athens, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offers 2,175 square feet of comfortable living space on 0.99 acre with rare Oostanaula Creek frontage. Step outside and the property becomes something special. A new 2025 overlook deck creates a peaceful place to take in year-round creek views, while a cleared area closer to the water gives you room to enjoy the setting from another perspective. Recent tree work and landscaping have opened the views, and the property extends across the creek. The current listing information indicates no flood insurance is required; buyer to independently verify. Inside, you'll find both a living room and family room, giving the home flexibility for everyday life, entertaining, working from home or simply spreading out. French doors frame the wooded backyard and creek, while a wood-burning fireplace adds warmth to the family room. The updated kitchen includes a movable island, and the private primary suite features a walk-in closet. Two remodeled bathrooms, dedicated laundry and an attached one-car garage complete the layout. Extensive 2022-2023 improvements include HVAC systems, water heater, flooring, paint, drywall, plumbing and electrical, complemented by a durable metal roof installed in 2016. This means buyers can enjoy the character and generous proportions of an established home without taking on a long renovation list. Located approximately midway between Knoxville and Chattanooga, Athens offers an appealing East Tennessee lifestyle with downtown shops and restaurants, outdoor recreation and the Eureka Trail nearby. Voluntary seasonal community pool access is also available for a modest annual fee. If you've been considering a move to Tennessee in search of more space, more nature and more value, 507 Short Street deserves a closer look. This upgraded ranch-style home with water access is truly a rare find--schedule your private tour today! {All measurements (estimated) and data to be considered reliable but Buyer to verify independently.
