328 Dearing Street, Athens, GA 30605

A very unique opportunity to own one of the most special and historic properties in Athens! 328 Dearing Street, known as Pink Chimneys, is one of the oldest homes in all of Athens, and likely dates from 1790 - 1820. The home was renovated in 2015, and won the Historic Preservation award the same year. Many of the original elements of the home were restored and preserved while carefully creating a home with today's conveniences. The home has its original heart pine wood floors, as well as the original triple sash windows which were restored to working order with weight pulls. Still present within the home are Adam-style mantels with the sunburst motif that was typical of the Federal period.  In 1961, Rev. A. Dawson Teague painted the chimneys of the home pink, which affectionately earned it the nickname Pink Chimneys. The home was totally renovated and restored, including new insulation, HVAC, pluming, electrical, roof, almost all of the original heart pine floors, 4 of the original 6 fireplaces/mantels, and two claw foot tubs were refurbished. Additional heart pine rescued from the old Jittery Joes roaster.
