The layout is split. The kitchen, dining area, and living room run together in one open space in the middle of the house. The kitchen has quartz counters, an island, a walk-in pantry, an electric range, and a dishwasher.
The primary suite sits on its own side, past the laundry room. It has its own bath and a walk-in closet.
The other three bedrooms share the opposite wing with a full hall bath. A half bath sits by the front entry, so guests aren't walking back to the bedrooms.
The laundry room has full-size washer and dryer hookups. Every bedroom is on the ground floor. There are no stairs in the house.
Athens has been the Henderson County seat since 1850. Matthew Cartwright donated 160 acres for the town site, and the first district court met under an oak on the square.

The 2020 Census counted 12,857 people.
The home is outside Athens city limits, in unincorporated Henderson County, per the county appraisal district.
