Have you always dreamt of owning a Queen Anne Victorian masterpiece? Well now you can! After appearing on the Athens Places in Peril list, The Bond House was rescued in January 2024 and has undergone an extraordinary transformation. Sitting on a .62 acre corner lot, this home is a true celebration of its original character with its thoughtfully blended historical charm and modern conveniences. As you approach, the enormous wrap-around front porch invites you to imagine leisurely mornings overlooking the front yard, equipped with an irrigation system ready for your landscaping vision. Inside, 12-foot ceilings and original heart pine floors radiate warmth and elegance, complemented by an abundance of natural light streaming through the large original windows. Highlights include a cozy study with custom built-in bookcases and a luxurious main-level master suite boasting a walk-in closet, clawfoot tub, double shower, separate vanities, and a water closet. The brand-new kitchen features Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, a wet bar with a sink, ice maker, wine chiller, wine rack, and built-in appliance garages! Right off the kitchen, a pocket door opens to a spacious laundry room and pantry for ultimate convenience. Upstairs, you'll find a versatile foyer space, four spacious bedrooms, and two full baths. The oversized bath includes a second laundry area, so you never have to carry laundry up or down the stairs! The crawlspace at the back of the home is ready to transform into your dream wellness retreat-sauna, cold plunge, and more. Located in the heart of the coveted Dearing Historic District and less than a mile from downtown Athens, this home is a true entertainer's paradise. The level front yard is a perfect for hosting game day tailgates while the backyard has a fire pit area for intimate hangouts. The brand new driveway and parking pad have stairs that lead to a screened in porch. Walk to Five Points, downtown shopping and eateries, and UGA's campus from this iconic property that is ready to welcome its next chapter. Don't miss your chance to own a beautifully restored piece of Athens history!
