Diamond in the rough in the East Lake area! This solid 3-bedroom, 1-bath brick ranch is ready for a buyer with vision. It sits on a basement with exterior entry, which gives you storage and room to grow, and interior stairs lead up to a finished attic (per tax records) that's ready to be brought back to life. The home needs cosmetic updates and some deferred maintenance, so you can bring your own style and build equity as you go. The location is hard to beat: a 1.1-mile walk to the East Lake golf course, with Publix right across the street and shopping close by. New development is happening all around this up-and-coming area. Sold as-is. Opportunities like this don't last. Bring your contractor and your imagination!

About East
Lake
East Lake, located between Kirkwood and Oakhurst, is a residential and golf-centric Decatur neighborhood with a storied country club and a lakefront park. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the East Lake Golf Club entrance on Alston Drive, where manicured fairways, clubhouse views, and a steady rhythm of walkers set the tone. Brick bungalows and mid-century ranches line leafy streets, with pockets of newer infill near Memorial Drive. East Lake Park frames the water with trails, courts, and open lawns that shape daily routines. The Charlie Yates Golf Course adds a public, low-key counterpoint to the private greens nearby. A short drive north, the DeKalb Farmers Market functions as a regional ritual for produce and pantry staples.
