Renovations in the kitchen and bathrooms lend the house modern convenience while retaining the elegance of its original floor plan from the 1920s. “The outdoor space is really lovely,” said Rachel Allen, marketing director at Nabo Realty. “I love this brick screen porch with the brick pillars, and the landscape and that sweet little pool house.” (Photo/Nabo Realty)

Why It’s Worth a Look: This traditional-style home is nestled in the affectionately-dubbed Highball Hill area of Athens, named for the neighborhood’s frequent social gatherings. The backyard features a pool and pool house, and the home, built in 1928, boasts an updated chef’s kitchen with industrial appliances. It’s located in Five Points, a lively residential and business area featuring local restaurants, bakeries and grocery stores, but maintains a sense of serenity on the residential street.

Why It’s Worth a Look: The lavender exterior of this Victorian home, built in 1900, leads into a vintage floor plan with touches of opulence, including a chandelier, two parlor rooms and a copper ceiling painted with 18-karat gold flakes. Much of the wood, including the hardwood floors, is original, but the kitchen has been renovated with a commercial-grade Viking range and stainless steel appliances. Just 15 miles from the lively college town of Athens, homeowners can enjoy more space and Crawford’s bucolic charm without sacrificing access to restaurants, museums and, of course, football games.
