    Historic Athens Home with Modern Luxury & Tailgate Yard

    Ideal location - This home sits in one of the most sought-after spots in Athens. Located just off the iconic Milledge Avenue, placing you right in the heart of the action on game days and throughout the year. The property is directly across from the freshman dorms, making it ideal for visiting parents, alumni, and anyone wanting to be close to campus life.

    If you want the perfect Athens tailgate base with everything at your fingertips, this location is hard to beat.

    Step into history at Herty House, a fully renovated home located in the Athens Historic District. Built in 1893, the same year Charles Herty established the UGA football program, this home has been completely gut-renovated down to the last stud, blending historic charm with modern luxury.

    Lower Level Flex Space
    The lower level features two bedrooms (king; 2 queens), two full bathrooms, a second kitchen, and a TV lounge—ideal for multi-family stays or groups. A dedicated game room with pool table keeps the fun going.

    Entertainer’s Kitchen:
    The state-of-the-art kitchen is perfect for hosting, with an ice maker, drink cooler, double sink, wet bar, convection stove and an eight-person dining table crafted from 200+ year-old reclaimed wood from the original home.
