Cute 4 bed, 1 bath fixer-upper in great Timothy Road school zone. The 4th bedroom could be turned into a large laundry room as the current laundry hookups are in the kitchen. Home sits on an almost 1 acre lot conveniently located just off of the Atlanta Highway. Close to shopping, dining, and entertainment. Has great investment potential.
