Home Details for 163 Easy Street

Most houses hum one tune.This one? A whole playlist of moods. 163 Easy Street sits a block from Boulevard in Parkside at Normaltown, a 15-home enclave where neighbors wave but don't pry, and morning coffee tastes better because Sips is just around the corner. Built in 2004 by John Willis Homes, it's solid in its bones but sly in its details, always just a little more thoughtful than expected. On the main floor, it plays gracious host: formal dining ready for holiday roasts or poker nights, an office/library that reads business in the morning, but welcomes a science fair project, or an unfinished novel, by afternoon. The kitchen hums with purpose: a commercial ice machine that feels like an overindulgence until you can't live without it; a butler's pantry tucks gadgets away for later; windows framing green instead of neighbors. The living room keeps the spotlight balanced, built-ins and a Heatilator fireplace at center, tall picture windows throwing in the kind of natural light that makes everything sparkle. By the time you wander onto the screened porch or Trex deck, the house has already shifted to its softer mood: linger, stay, watch a sunset not the clock. Upstairs, the primary suite prefers a little drama: vaulted ceilings, its own fireplace, treetop views that change wardrobe each season, and a mini-split for micro personalized comfort. Two more bedrooms keep things calmer, sharing a Jack-and-Jill with two separate vanities that stay politely out of the way. The terrace level has a different mindset: more calculating, less dreamy. A fully finished apartment with its own entrance, kitchen, laundry, bedroom, and steam shower. It's the side of the house that thinks in spreadsheets: rental income, multigenerational living, six-month stays that turn into twelve. A flex room (currently a gym) and lockable garage storage only add to the practicality. In Boulevard, where rentable space disappears in seconds, this is the rare side of a home that pays dividends. Recent updates-roof (2020), HVAC, water heater, mini-split-make the practical voice even louder. Outside, a fenced backyard leans green and quiet, the kind of stage any Sandy, curled up in the final act, would happily call her own. Parkside's shared greenspace adds just a little more breathing room. Morning mood? Coffee at Sips. Afternoon? A beer at Hi-Lo. Evening? Rooftop dining in Normaltown. And just beyond the calm, Cobbham and downtown open up-music, patios, and the pulse of Athens at full tilt. 163 Easy Street doesn't just speak. It plays different scenes, some lit in lamplight with books and bourbon, others wide open with morning windows and laughter; shifting, adapting to your needs. And whichever side you meet first, it'll feel like the right one.
