Located in the very walkable Piedmont Heights neighborhood that is poised between Morningside and Ansley Park. This prime location offers easy access to The BeltLine, Piedmont Park, Ansley Mall, Ansley Golf Club, Buckhead and Midtown Business districts, and I-85, I-75 and GA 400 highways. This half-acre lot with street frontage on both Rock Springs and Wimbledon has unique opportunities; if one desired to build a new home with rear entry garage, the driveway off Wimbledon Road makes that easy. While it may be tempting to tear down and build new construction, there are reasons to renovate this property versus completely tearing it down. One simply being that you want a more modest sized home and spend less money. Additionally, the current homeCOs location on the lot allows allow for a large front yard and potential large pool in the side yard and wouldnCOt have same setbacks as new construction. The home is in poor condition but does have a very solid foundation to build upon. The home conveys with a forever easement agreement for the SW corner of the property to maintain fencing and usage of this encroachment. This prime, half acre lot is ready when you are to build your Intown dream house. Currently property has tenants on a month to month agreement paying $4000/month; do not walk the property without an approved appointment.
