An incredible opportunity to make this Chatham ranch, 4-sided brick, in coveted Sandy Springs (ITP), Heards Ferry Elementary. Sprawling lot on nearly 2 acres. Home sits as the first home on the corner of cul-de-sac street. Four Bedrooms on the main level and 3 Full Bathrooms. All bedrooms are a great size. Primary Suite is large enough to NOT have to combine bedrooms and keep the 4 on the main with the option to put an additional 2 bedrooms and bathroom in the full basement. The basement has high ceilings and will be a great space to customize and finish out. Permanent stairs to the attic make another opportunity to add square footage; add dormers to roof and create an upstairs rec space. Home already has water proofing system in the basement and is structurally sound and was built very, very well. Most of the White Oak flooring throughout the main can be refinished and would be beautiful. Home has been cleared out and is truly a shell just waiting to be brought back to life! Areas of the flooring and ceiling that had water damage were already removed. This is truly a diamond in the rough that just needs to be brought back to life!! Survey, Percolation Test (for new Septic System) and Architectural Plans are all available and ready to go!
