Property Description

100 year-old house with historical features like the wrap-around porch, high ceilings and 2 decorative fireplaces. Deck added in back and nearly all windows replaced 2 years ago when the house was re-sided and painted. Backyard is fenced but there are holes. The roof was replaced in 2015, the HVAC in 2019 and the water heater is brand new. Half-bath was just refreshed with new vanity and toilet, the main bath was completely re-done in 2021. New floors and were just installed throughout. Floors do have some waviness due to the re-bracing of the structure in 2007-2008. This is house is definitely for the more adventurous type. An investor is likely to make about half their costs back in 10 years. Buyers will hopefully see the opportunity in these softer prices and ask for a buy-down of their interest rate? Seller is owner/agent. Lakewood is exceptionally convenient to so much of Atlanta's core: the Atlanta Beltline, the movie studios, the Lakewood Amphitheater, Grant Park Zoo, East Atlanta, Memorial Drive, world's busiest airport, GSU, Morehouse, Spellman, Ga Tech and downtown are minutes away. South Bend Dog Park (with a pool for dogs?) just a 1 mile down Lakewood Ave. The YMCA is under a half-mile walk and the Southeast Public Library Branch is a little further down the road on Pryor. Carver's Market is less than a mile up Lansing, Ron Clark Academy is 3 blocks away and the south end of the Beltline is one mile away. Nearby on Harriet St 'The Sawtell' is coming soon and Ali has only just begun opening his festive event spaces, shops and restaurants in the 5 points area of Lakewood. If you want to go to Summerhill and enjoy what is going on there it is all of two miles to where all the new eateries are off Hank Aaron that are some of the freshest in Atlanta near the brand-spanking new Publix. One more feather to cap off the neighborhood: Terminal South opening in 2024 as both a transportaion and social hub at 1160 Ridge Ave, also at about a mile from 56 Dorothy Street.
