Classic City Carriage- Amazing Location 1BR-1BA

Located in one of Athens' most charming, historic, and walkable neighborhoods, this newly built apartment is perfect for exploring the heart of the Classic City. A three-quarter mile walk takes you to downtown, stop at Creature Comforts, any of our amazing restaurants, or one of our many local coffee shops. On game day, just head through the Arch, past the victory bell, through the quad, where you land "between the hedges" at Sanford Stadium! And a stones throw from the Taylor Grady House.
