Agent Description

Stately Renovated Colonial | ITP Decatur | Space, Privacy & Flexibility - With Rare Development Upside Welcome home to one of Decatur's best-kept secrets - a beautifully renovated colonial tucked into a quiet, established neighborhood while keeping you firmly inside the perimeter with easy access to everything Atlanta has to offer.

Currently tenant-occupied through June 2026 at $1,950/month (tenant pays all utilities), this is a rare opportunity to secure your future home - or offset your mortgage from day one while you wait to move in. From the moment you step inside, the thoughtfully opened floor plan invites you in.

The brand-new kitchen is a showstopper: double shaker soft-close cabinetry, a custom island, top-tier granite counters, stainless appliances, and a classic beveled white tile backsplash that gives it just the right touch of character. The primary suite delivers the retreat you deserve - a huge walk-in closet and a spa-inspired bath with modern tile work and all-new fixtures.

The layout is genuinely versatile: two bedrooms on the main level (including the primary) and a third bedroom downstairs in the finished basement - ideal for guests, a home office, or a house-hacking setup. Step outside to a surprisingly large, fully fenced backyard with a courtyard-style patio perfect for entertaining or unwinding.

Built in the 1970s with steel, brick, and high-quality wood, this home is as solid as they come - and the big-ticket items are done: new roof (2020), new HVAC (2016). Move in with confidence. The lot is where it gets really interesting. At over 22,000 sq ft in an R-75 zone, this parcel carries legitimate development optionality that most homes in this price range simply don't offer.

The lot size meets DeKalb County's minimum threshold for a detached ADU (up to 900 sq ft) - a second structure you could build in the rear yard for rental income, multigenerational living, or a private home office. It also meets the area minimum for a potential two-lot subdivision, which could create a second independently titled and buildable parcel.

Both paths are subject to site layout confirmation, owner-occupancy requirements, and county approvals - but the bones are there, and that's rare. Whether you're an owner-occupant looking to house-hack, an investor building long-term equity, or a developer scouting infill opportunity, this lot gives you options most listings don't. 3BR | 2BA | 1,758 sqft | Enclosed Sunroom | Finished Basement | Oversized 22,216 sqft Lot | R-75 Zoning | ADU & Subdivision Potential (Subject to County Approval)
