Presenting 2690 Rockdale Drive, a residential property constructed in 1986 and located in an established Decatur neighborhood. Offering 2,226 square feet of living space on a corner lot, this property presents an exceptional opportunity for investors, developers, and renovation specialists seeking their next profitable project. The home requires remodeling, creating a unique opportunity to customize upgrades, maximize equity, and capitalize on the growing demand for renovated homes in the area. With the right vision and improvements, this property has the potential to become a highly desirable residence for resale or a strong-performing rental asset. This split-level home is located in a highly convenient area close to major highways and shopping. Recent major system upgrades—including a new roof, new HVAC system, and new water heater (all installed within the past year)—provide a strong foundation and help reduce near-term capital expenses. The flexible floor plan features three bedrooms, including a spacious main-level primary suite, as well as an oversized lower-level bedroom with an additional family room, brick fireplace, and bonus room. Covered decks on both the upper and lower levels enhance indoor-outdoor living and add to the home’s overall appeal. With its distinctive layout and solid structural updates, the property presents significant renovation and modernization potential. The home is not on lockbox access. Please contact the agent for showings.
