Property Description
Space, privacy and exceptional workshop storage come together at 1660 County Road 700 in Athens, Tennessee. Situated on approximately 5.21 level acres, this well-maintained ranch-style home offers approximately 2,096 sq. ft. with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths in a peaceful country setting. With trees surrounding the property, you will love the privacy that comes with this property. Plus, you are just 6-8 minutes from the hospital, downtown Athens and shopping. One of the property's biggest advantages is the amount of usable space outside the home. Two 26x30 metal workshop/storage buildings each feature concrete floors and 10x10 double doors, with electrical service to one of the buildings. Whether you need room for a workshop, lawn equipment, recreational vehicles, hobbies or extra storage, these buildings add tremendous versatility. An outdoor storm shelter with a covered structure provides another valuable property feature. The home offers an easy one-level layout with a fireplace, wood and tile flooring, granite countertops, porch and patio areas, and a 2-car carport. The sellers have also invested in important updates and maintenance. Recent improvements include professional crawlspace encapsulation in 2025, exterior siding and trim work, a new GE electric range, and exterior/front porch, flooring, chimney and painting repairs completed in 2026. The roof was replaced in 2016, with additional updates made to the kitchen, flooring and major systems over the years. For buyers searching for an Athens TN home with acreage, workshop space and a quiet East Tennessee setting, this property offers a combination that can be difficult to find: a manageable one-level home, approximately five acres and more than 1,500 sq. ft. of detached workshop/storage space already in place. Come see the possibilities at 1660 County Road 700 in Athens, TN. Additional acreage will be available. Some photos are AI enhanced.
