Welcome to 235 Pendleton Drive, a classic example of American architecture that is truly unique for the Athens market. This 1968 Dutch Colonial Revival style home is tucked away on one of the best streets in Homewood Hills. Some quick specs include: Nearly 3,000 sq ft of above-grade finished space on a 0.55 acre lot, 4 bedrooms and 4 full baths including two primary suites (one on main level, one on second floor), two living spaces both with fireplaces, a large two-car garage and more.
The exterior of the home has Dutch Colonial styling with painted cedar clapboard siding and a gambrel roof. The front yard showcases lush zoysia grass and a picket fence, and the covered porch and front brick patio are perfect for morning coffee. Inside the front door and foyer, the main level spreads out, with hardwood floors spanning most of the house. There is both a living room and den, each with very cool architectural details including a fireplace and woodburning stove, wooden ceiling beams, built-in shelving, cupboards and more. Beautiful wood windows with brass hardware are hung throughout the house. The spacious dining room and kitchen have bay windows overlooking the backyard. The kitchen was recently remodeled and has granite counters, tile backsplash, lots of cabinetry and a Kitchenaid appliance package. Two bedrooms are on the main level: one is a large primary suite that is privately located in the rear of the house, which features a totally renovated bath and multiple closets. There is a little office nook off this bedroom that also leads to the backyard. The other main level bedroom is near the kitchen and has a full bath just outside of it. Rounding out the main level are the mud room and large two-car garage with a storage room. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and two more baths: one bedroom is an en-suite and the other room can be used as a bedroom or would be a perfect bonus room, playroom, office or more.
The backyard has a huge brick raised patio flanked with wrought iron railing. A grassed area off the deck leads to a pergola and outdoor table, and many garden beds, flowers, and blueberry bushes grow throughout the backyard. There is also a super useful 16x20 ft storage building/shop at the rear of the property.
This home has had the same owner for 33 years and has been well maintained, including the following: 3 heat pump systems installed in 2023, 2022 and 2009; new exterior paint in 2022, architectural shingle roof installed in 2018, newer appliances including a brand new washing machine (all appliances remain with house), and an active termite bond.
