Description

1 unit was recently vacated & the sliding glass doors replaced w/french doors, wall repaired/repainted, flooring replaced, light fixtures upgraded, etc. The other unit is rolling over at the end of August and will be freshened up as well. This property is very flexible. Could be passive investor, owner occupant or conversion to 1 family. The lot is large and will probably accommodate a carriage house/garage. Looks like a single family from the street. Minutes from Emory, walk to downtown Decatur,...1 unit was recently vacated & the sliding glass doors replaced w/french doors, wall repaired/repainted, flooring replaced, light fixtures upgraded, etc. The other unit is rolling over at the end of August and will be freshened up as well.

Looks like a single family from the street. Minutes from Emory, walk to downtown Decatur, and City Schools of Decatur. Location is excellent!
