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.

Looking for easy? This is it. Tucked into Sweetwater Plantation just past Lake Meeler, this end-unit, two-bedroom, two-bath condo delivers true one-level living-no stairs, no hassle, just quiet, simple space. A pond view greets you out back, and everyday essentials-Atlanta Highway, Loop 10, Akademia Brewing, and more-are just minutes away. Inside, everything feels light, open, and ready. Fresh white paint throughout gives you a clean canvas to make your own. The layout is intuitive: kitchen, dining, and living spaces flow together toward a private back deck overlooking the water. Both bedrooms sit quietly off the main hallway, each with its own en-suite bath. Just minutes away, Ben Burton Park offers 35 acres of wooded trails, picnic spots, and peaceful river access-perfect for low-key afternoons or early morning walks. Grocery stores and shopping centers are right around the corner, and Akademia Brewing is close enough for an easy Friday wind-down. The kitchen and baths retain their original finishes, but they've got character: slab-front wood cabinets give a nod to mid-century modern styling, and the layout offers smart functionality without wasted space. A new dishwasher, toilet, and updated tub fixtures are already in place, along with fresh flooring in key areas-its move-in ready, with the chance to make it your own over time. Community perks include a pool, tennis courts, walking trails, and the kind of ease that comes with condo ownership-no exterior maintenance, no yard to manage, and flexibility whether you're here full-time or just looking for a low-stress second spot with a lock-and-leave setup. This unit sits quietly at the end of the building, catching extra light, extra privacy, and uninterrupted pond views. If you've been waiting for a simpler, quieter, brighter chapter-this one's wide open.
