Property Description
Residential OR Investor Opportunity in Prime Marietta Location! Welcome to 197 W Dixie Ave, a 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offering 884 square feet of living space on a generous 11,000-square-foot lot. Built in 1952, this property has been rented and consistently well maintained. This would make a fine personal residence, or make an excellent addition to a rental portfolio or a value-add opportunity.

The oversized lot includes a sizable car port with doors for privacy, as well as a brick and concrete structure set deep back on the property. The options here are limitless. The perfectly rectangular 11,000 square foot lot provides strong potential for expansion, redevelopment, or long-term appreciation (subject to buyer due diligence) Located just minutes from downtown Marietta, shopping, dining, parks, and major commuter routes, this property sits in a highly desirable area with strong rental demand. The seller has never occupied the home, and limited property disclosures are available. A solid investment opportunity with multiple options / strategies in one of Cobb County’s most sought-after markets!
