Lori Bork Designed, Modern Scandinavian-style Farmhouse. This custom-built home perfectly blends modern with cozy. Designed to reflect both the historic mill houses that surround it as well as the industrial metal-clad buildings in the neighborhood. It features an open concept kitchen, a large living room with exposed wood-beam vaulted ceilings. that takes advantage of maximum daylight. The windows are placed in a specific layout to the orientation of the lot and following the arc of the sun and moon. Concrete flooring makes for easy maintenance and the fenced in yard (custom made by Stroudman Woodworks) makes this home pet-friendly. Filled with unique touches by local artisans from the wood mantle by Watson Springs, shelving by Oneta Woodworks and metalwork by St. Udio, and a kitchen island top made from local spalted Beech with boards that are book-matched grain with a live edge and finished with a zero VOC finish for food safety (also made by Watson Springs). The indoor/ outdoor space is perfect for entertaining. Private outdoor dining, fully landscaped (with low maintenance plants) yard with groves of shady trees, makes this in-town location both private and in the heart of the action. The first floor includes a private bedroom/ bathroom, as well as extra storage. Upstairs is a luxurious master suite, complete with 2 huge walk-in closets, large spa shower with sky-light, coffee bar, and a second-story balcony that spans the length of the home and has views of the tree-lined ravine across the street, making you feel as though you are in your own treehouse. Built for maximum energy efficiency, installed solar panels cut the electric cost in half. The nest programmable thermostat is BlueTooth operable, all high-end modern appliances, walk-in pantry, and a highly coveted garage (a rare find for in-town properties) make this home one not to miss. Pulaski Heights is a special place with a true neighborhood feel. Tucked away and wooded on top of a large hill, filled with history, this street overlooks the Leathers Building below, with popular shops, restaurants, and galleries. It is a short walk into town to all that Athens has to offer, including Creature Comforts, Cine, and The National. Coming in 2020 there will be a full-sized grocery store at the end of the Pulaski street, a few short blocks away, and the UGA football stadium is less than 2 miles away, Piedmont Athens Regional Hospital is 1.5 miles away. Surrounded by other customs Lori Bork designed homes, it has been on multiple home and garden tours and won the 2014 Athens Heritage Foundation Award for Outstanding New Construction in a Historic Neighborhood.
Ceci is just a gem!
Ceci Churchwell was an absolute pleasure to work with during the purchase of our loft in downtown Athens. She was very knowledgeable about the market, was extremely responsive in her communications and very resourceful in terms of referring bankers, inspectors and contractors. I have never had such a seamless experience in a real estate transaction, and Ceci is just a gem!

Ceci and Lauren far exceeded my expectations
I could not have asked for a better experience with 3tree Realty. Both Ceci and Lauren far exceeded my expectations, not one single things stands out above the others - in my opinion, they did everything right. From answering numerous phone calls, gathering information, all the many questions I asked, showing and re-showing properties (because I couldn't make up my mind) to finally closing day, they checked all the boxes. They treated me like they had known me forever and I felt so relaxed & comfortable around both of them, it was like being with a friend. If you are looking for an amazing real estate team, you can't go wrong with Ceci, Lauren and 3tree Realty. I wouldn't hesitate a second to use them again, this is a TOP NOTCH group all around. Thank you Ceci and Lauren for such an amazingly fun buying experience!!!!

so that we could sell quickly but retrieve optimal equity
3tree Realty held our hand through the sale of our old house to the purchase of our new house. Their electronic paperwork system allowed us to breeze through the paperwork process. They also gave us objective feedback about how to list our house so that we could sell quickly but retrieve optimal equity, and they gave objective guidance in regards to the pros and cons of potential home purchases so that we were able to make the best decision for our family. The team was extremely prompt with setting up showings and answering our questions. We were blessed to have them as a support system during our transition from one home to another. Thanks Ceci and Lauren!!!

her negotiations made all of the difference
Ceci is Awesome! She helped me buy my house 10 years ago and then sold it (in 8 days!) and help me buy our current home. She maximized our sale price and was practical with her advice on what repairs/improvements to make. Her negotiations made all of the difference. Thanks Ceci!

genuine care and concern for our family touched us deeply
Ceci was wonderful helping this new mom moving to Athens from out of state. She was amazing through the whole process! She found us the perfect house and her positivity during standard house buying bumps (inspections, buyers repairs, etc...) kept this mama sane. Her genuine care and concern for our family touched us deeply and made Athens feel like home!
