Unlock Massive Potential in the Heart of Kirkwood! Positioned in one of Atlanta’s most vibrant and sought-after neighborhoods, this 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage is a true renovator’s dream and a builder’s golden opportunity. Whether you are a handy buyer looking to build "sweat equity" or a developer seeking your next project, this property offers a rare value proposition in a market surrounded by high-end luxury homes. The existing residence features the classic charm of a front porch, a rear deck for entertaining, and the highly coveted convenience of off-street parking. While the home is ready for a full transformation, the real "crown jewel" is the bonus additional parcel included to the rear. This extra land provides incredible versatility—offering the perfect footprint for a high-end ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), a massive private backyard oasis, or potentially a brand-new construction project to match the luxury estates nearby. Location is everything: You are within easy walking distance to the eclectic shops, award-winning restaurants, and seasonal festivals of Kirkwood Village. This is not just a home; it is a blank canvas. Bring your vision and your contractor to capitalize on this unique opportunity to create a custom masterpiece in a neighborhood where value continues to soar. Properties with this much additional land and proximity to the Village are few and far between. Key Features: 3 Bedrooms / 1 Bathroom with a functional layout. Bonus Additional Parcel located behind the primary lot for future expansion or ADU. Outdoor Living: Front porch and back deck. Private off-street parking. Unbeatable Equity: Surrounded by luxury properties in a high-demand corridor. Sold as-is. Don't miss your chance to claim your stake in Kirkwood!
