Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This duplex-style residential income property is set up as two fully self-contained homes with no interior connection, including a 2 bed/1 bath apartment with a private entrance. The apartment has windows on all four sides, a gas kitchen, in-unit laundry, and a beadboard bath. The apartment also has brand new HVAC scheduled for 2026, with gas and electric metered separately. The main house is a 4 bed/2 bath layout with refinished hardwood floors, crown molding, and an arched doorway into a dedicated dining room, plus gas cooking and a walk-in pantry. Fresh paint is in place inside and out, and the main level has newer roof and HVAC. Upstairs, there are dedicated laundry facilities. A private deck overlooks mature hardwood canopy above Shoal Creek, and off-street parking is available in the rear.

The property is located at 255 S Columbia Drive in Decatur, GA (DeKalb County). It’s walkable to Talley Street Upper Elementary and Winnona Park Elementary, as well as City of Decatur schools. The home is minutes to Avondale MARTA, Winnona Park, Legacy Park, the PATH, and Avondale Estates’ newly walkable downtown.

The separately metered utilities and private entrances provide operational clarity for residents.
