6140 Michelle Lane; Douglasville, GA 30135

$259,900

Investor Special with Size, Lot, and Long-Term Upside in Shaler Heights Welcome to 6140 Michelle Lane, a true opportunity property in the established Shaler Heights neighborhood of Douglasville. This home has served as a long-term rental for many years and it shows, but what also shows is the potential. With solid bones, generous square footage, and a half-acre lot, this is the kind of project savvy investors look for. The main level offers approximately 1,830 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a living room, dining room, and family room layout that provides flexibility for a future owner occupant or a strong rental configuration. A large deck overlooks the fenced backyard, and the oversized lot provides room to reimagine outdoor living, expansion, or value-add improvements. The finished basement adds even more upside with an additional bedroom, a bonus room, a recreation room, and a large two-car garage. This lower level creates multiple possibilities, including extended living space, multi-generational use, or enhanced rental income. Make no mistake, this home needs work. It has been lived in hard, and buyers should bring their vision and their contractor. That said, the fundamentals are here, square footage, lot size, location, and access to I-20, shopping, schools, and the continued growth of close-in Douglasville. If you are looking for a cosmetic flip, a long-term hold, or a value-add income property, this one checks the boxes that matter most. This is not about pretty finishes today, it is about smart positioning for tomorrow. Sold as-is. Opportunities like this do not come along often in a neighborhood with this much potential.
