Both parcels. One closing. Delivered vacant.
214 South Ave SE (home, ~1,800 SF) + 0 South Ave SE (corner parcel, 3,016 SF)
Last updated: August 14, 2026
House lot: ~3,107 sqft | Adjacent Lot: ~3,016 sqft
Two separately deeded parcels, sold together. What looks like a side yard is its own separately deeded corner parcel, with title recently cleared and secured.
This offering includes two legal parcels: 214 South Ave SE and the adjacent vacant corner parcel at 0 South Ave SE in Atlanta’s Summerhill neighborhood. The property sits on a natural slope typical of this portion of Summerhill. Nearby redevelopment projects have successfully incorporated similar grade changes into modern multi‑level homes with drive‑under garages and elevated terraces. This topography offers opportunities for creative architectural design that can take advantage of the site's elevation and corner positioning. Buyers may choose to maintain the existing configuration, pursue infill development, or explore administrative lot consolidation with the adjacent parcel (subject to city review). The offering includes two adjacent parcels totaling approximately 6,100 SF of combined site area.
City staff indicated that administrative lot consolidation with the adjacent parcel may be possible, potentially creating an approximately 50-foot frontage site. Across the street and within a block, similarly positioned parcels have been developed into modern multi-story homes. The most recent closed sale on this street — 218 South Ave SE, a larger 4BR/4BA on a 7,688 SF lot — sold for $825,000 in August 2025.
This is a lived-in house, not a staged one. Let me tell you what needs work before you drive over.
The carpets need replacing. The kitchen cabinets need touch-ups — not a full refinish. A few deck boards are soft and the railings need attention. The exterior stairs need repair. One bathroom still has the original 2008 fiberglass shower surround: structurally sound, but noisy and due for replacement.
None of that is hidden. All of it is reflected in the asking price. A written contractor scope with pricing is being prepared and will be added to the offering packet.
Here’s what you’ll also see: a clean, safe, functioning house. Upstairs HVAC fully replaced in 2023 — Carrier heat pump and air handler, permitted and City-inspected, with a transferable lifetime parts and labor warranty. An 1,100 square foot deck with reinforced joists. A driveway updated in 2023 that fits two cars. Smart water shutoff, Nest thermostats, hardwired cameras. Three bedrooms that have housed working professionals continuously for years.
Nothing is broken. Nothing is a surprise. It’s a house that has been lived in and looked after — and priced honestly for what it still needs.
I bought this house in 2010 through a neighborhood stabilization program, after looking at twenty-five others and watching several short sales fall apart. It was five years old and it looked like a dollhouse to me. Sixteen years later it’s been the most charming place I’ve lived — a historic Black neighborhood on Atlanta’s south side, a dog I adopted from across the street, and a location that has done nothing but open up. I’m selling because I’m an MBA student now, living and working between cities, and the house deserves an owner who’s here.
The first thing I thought when I saw it was that it needed a wraparound deck. Then I spent a year working nights on a TV show. Somewhere in there I built it — all 1,100 square feet.
Trees have come down since, and the sun found the deck. It gets hot up there now. It wants a pergola. That one’s for the next person.
We put in gardens during COVID. A pear tree is still out back. Things grow here.
It isn’t a finished house. It’s a house with room left in it.
Three bedrooms on a corner lot, and a deck big enough to actually use. Grant Park and the Beltline are close, Georgia State Stadium is walkable, and the neighborhood has been improving every year for a decade. The lot next door means you’re not boxed in — build later, garden it, or just enjoy the space.
The extra bedrooms have covered a large share of the carrying cost for years. That system is documented and transfers with the house. Live in one room and rent the other two, or don’t — it’s optional, not required.
Two parcels, ~6,100 SF combined, both zoned R-4B-C under Summerhill rezoning Z-06-24. Title on the vacant parcel was cleared through a quiet title action. The City confirms the vacant parcel is a legal lot of record, buildable as-of-right — but a 20-foot minimum house width condition applies and is not variance-eligible, and R-4B-C permits single-family residential only. Read 0 South Ave SE — Zoning Status below before you underwrite it; it now includes a table of what each development path requires.
Delivered vacant at closing, clean title on both parcels, no tenants to remove, and a documented rent roll if you want to re-tenant it. Suited to a buyer in a 1031 identification window — I can close on your timeline.
Off-market, two-parcel offering: a Summerhill home at 214 South Ave SE plus a separately deeded corner parcel at 0 South Ave SE. Asking $649,000.
0 South Ave SE is referenced in City of Atlanta records as 212 South Avenue SE. Both refer to the same parcel, 14 -0054-0009-011-4 (City format: 14 00540009011). “0” is the standard county designation for a vacant lot with no assigned structure number.
Offered as-is with known deferred maintenance, including exterior stairs, deck railings, and one bathroom. Priced accordingly. A written contractor scope is being prepared and will be added to the offering packet.
Both parcels convey together.
The City of Atlanta Office of Zoning and Development has confirmed in writing that 0 South Ave SE is a legal lot of record, buildable as-of-right for a single-family structure.
The parcel is subject to the Summerhill rezoning conditions adopted under Z-06-24 (Ordinance 06-O-0567), which supersede standard R-4B controls where the two conflict. Section 6 applies to all R-4B-C property in Summerhill and governs entrance orientation, garage placement, driveways, window area, roof pitch and foundations. The full conditions are included in the offering packet.
The most consequential is Section 6(a): a house must be a minimum of 20 feet wide, measured between the side walls. Because this is a condition of a rezoning rather than a zoning control, it is not eligible for a variance. Modifying it requires a rezoning from R-4B-C to R-4B-C for a change of conditions.
City staff have advised that neither parcel independently meets the minimum width, and that some combination of variances and a change of conditions would likely be required to build on the vacant parcel standing alone.
On setbacks: where a lot has multiple street frontages, the front yard is applied from the shortest frontage — South Avenue here — and remaining street frontages are treated as half-depth front yards. Per City staff these definitions cannot be modified. An architect who has built on this street calculates the resulting as-of-right envelope at roughly 11 ft by 90 ft.
Consolidation. Consolidating the two parcels would produce a single lot of roughly 50 feet of frontage, which satisfies the minimum width. City staff previously indicated administrative consolidation may be possible. Consolidation is not reversible without a subdivision and would foreclose selling the parcels separately.
What R-4B-C permits, and what it does not
City staff confirmed in writing on August 4, 2026 that R-4B and the conditional R-4B-C permit single-family residential only. Accessory dwelling units and two-family dwellings are not permitted. ADUs are allowed in R-4, R-4A and R-5; duplexes in R-5 only. Absent a rezoning, these parcels can accommodate a single-family residence and a guest house.
A guest house differs from an ADU in two ways: no full kitchen, and a size limit of under 30% of the principal structure. Per City staff a guest house is an accessory structure and is not governed by the same regulations as the principal structure — so Section 6(a)'s 20-foot minimum width does not apply to it. Accessory setback and placement rules do still apply.
On placement, City staff advised that on a consolidated lot any accessory structure must sit behind the principal structure, and that a variance from the Board of Zoning Adjustment would be required to place a structure between the principal structure and the street.
What each path requires
| If a buyer wants to | What it requires |
|---|---|
| Build a duplex | Rezoning to R-5. Legislative — NPU-V, Zoning Review Board, City Council. Not a variance. |
| Build an accessory dwelling unit with its own kitchen | Rezoning to R-4, R-4A or R-5. Not permitted in R-4B-C at any size. |
| Build a new house on the vacant parcel standing alone | A change of conditions to modify Section 6(a)'s 20-foot minimum width, AND setback variances for the roughly 11 ft x 90 ft envelope. Two separate processes. |
| Consolidate the two parcels | City staff indicated administrative consolidation may be possible. No public hearing. Not reversible without a subdivision. |
| Enlarge the existing house | Nothing, if the addition stays within the setbacks. A BZA variance if it does not. Section 6(a) is already satisfied — the existing house exceeds 20 feet. |
| Add a guest house (no kitchen, under 30% of the principal structure) | Permitted as an accessory structure. Not subject to the 20-foot minimum width. Must sit behind the principal structure on a consolidated lot; placing it between the house and the street requires a BZA variance. |
The pattern: anything that adds a second kitchen is legislative. Everything else is either a variance or requires no relief at all.
On variances. Setbacks are zoning controls and the Board of Zoning Adjustment can grant relief from them — six setback variances have been heard on South Ave SE and Little St SE since 2018, with approvals across the range. Those cases addressed setbacks. They do not reach Section 6(a). A buyer should price the two processes separately.
A Zoning Verification Letter has been requested. Note that a ZVL confirms zoning district and overlays only; the substantive conditions described above come from written correspondence with the City’s Office of Zoning and Development, which is available on request.
Buyers must independently verify all zoning, setback, and development parameters with the City of Atlanta Office of Zoning and Development. No representation is made beyond what the City has confirmed in writing.
Georgia law taxes property at 40% of fair market value — statewide, on every property. Following a sale, the county typically resets fair market value to the purchase price for the following tax year, so a buyer’s tax bill is based on what they pay, not on the seller’s prior assessment.
Both parcels convey together. Asking price: $649,000.
| Sale Price | Taxable Value (40%) | Est. Annual Tax — Investment/Rental | Est. Annual Tax — Owner-Occupied* |
|---|---|---|---|
| $550,000 | $220,000 | ~$8,903 | ~$7,600 |
| $600,000 | $240,000 | ~$9,713 | ~$8,400 |
| $649,000 | $259,600 | ~$10,506 | ~$9,180 |
| $700,000 | $280,000 | ~$11,332 | ~$9,900 |
| $750,000 | $300,000 | ~$12,141 | ~$10,600 |
*Owner-occupied estimates assume standard homestead exemptions available to primary residents, including the Atlanta Public Schools homestead exemption. Exemption eligibility must be applied for with Fulton County by April 1 and is not automatic. Figures are estimates based on 2023–2025 combined City of Atlanta and Fulton County millage of approximately 40.47 mills; 2026 rates are set later in the year. Buyers should verify current rates and exemptions with the Fulton County Board of Assessors.
A 2026 assessment appeal is pending on the basis of the disclosed deferred maintenance.
Asking price: $649,000. Figures below are recent comparable sales statistics for analysis only — not an appraisal. Both parcels convey together as one package.

Median closed sale among improved comps in the last 18 months. Mean sale: $621,361.
Four vacant land sales have closed in Fulton County neighborhood code 14275 since October 2023. Fulton codes all vacant land transfers as unqualified sales, so none of these carries a qualified designation — including the seller’s own 2022 acquisition of this parcel.
| Parcel | Date | Lot size | Price | $/SF |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reed St SE | Oct 2023 | 10,000 SF | $95,000 | $9.50 |
| 713 Reed St SE | Apr 2024 | 5,600 SF | $240,000 | $42.86 |
| 80 Little St SE | May 2025 | 1,040 SF | $75,000 | $72.12 |
| Fraser St SE | Oct 2025 | 5,920 SF | $440,000 | $74.32 |
The two most recent sales, both in 2025, are the two highest. Applied to 3,016 SF, the full range indicates $29,000 to $224,000; the two 2025 sales alone indicate approximately $218,000 to $224,000.
The county’s own valuation. Fulton County assesses 0 South Ave SE at a land value of $95,000 for 2025 and 2026, and assessed it at $130,600 for 2023 and 2024. The 2025 property record card applies a negative influence factor of 20% to this parcel, so the $95,000 is a figure the county reached after discounting for the corner configuration. By comparison, 80 Little St SE — a 1,040 SF parcel, roughly one third the size — is assessed at $109,700 and has no appeal history in ten years of assessment notices.
Buyers should weigh this honestly. The land comp set in this submarket is thin, the four sales are heterogeneous in size and street, and assessments here do not reliably track sale prices in either direction — 80 Little St sold below its assessment, while 713 Reed St sold well above its own. Independent verification is encouraged and the parcel records are linked below.
Note: these comps reflect qualified sales of parcels in the same county neighborhood code, matched on land code. They are unconstrained parcels and are not adjusted for the Section 6(a) minimum-width condition or the corner-lot setback treatment described in the zoning section above. Neither adjustment is minor. The parcel’s realistic value is as a consolidation with 214 South Ave SE rather than as a standalone building site, and buyers should weigh that in their own valuation. A separate market read on comparable lot inventory in 30315 indicates a materially lower standalone figure.
| Source | Parcel | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Fulton County 2025 assessment — Fair Market Value | 214 South Ave SE (improved) | $481,700 |
| Fulton County 2024 assessment — Fair Market Value | 214 South Ave SE (improved) | $496,000 |
| 2025 vacant land sales, neighborhood code 14275 | 0 South Ave SE (3,016 SF) | $218,000 – $224,000 |
| Indicated combined | Both parcels | $698,000 – $706,000 |
The combined figure above applies the unadjusted land range. The zoning constraints described above argue for a lower land component; buyers should underwrite accordingly.
Asking price of $649,000 reflects a discount to indicated value in exchange for a clean, as-is, single-closing transaction. Tax cards for both parcels are included in the offering packet — verify every figure yourself.
This offering differs: smaller structure plus two-parcel optionality and vacant delivery at closing. Both parcels convey together.
Market color: Two newly built homes across the street are currently offered in the $800,000–$900,000 range. Those are asking prices, not sales — the valuation above uses qualified sold comps only.
“Co-living” makes it sound more complicated than it is.
For years I’ve rented the extra bedrooms, mostly to medical residents and healthcare workers on long hospital rotations. Not short-term rentals. Not a party house. People who work fourteen-hour days and want somewhere quiet, clean, and safe to sleep. Long leases, paid on time, minimal drama.
You don’t have to do any of it. The house delivers vacant on closing and you’re free to occupy it, rent it whole, or redevelop it.
But if you want the house to help pay for itself, the model is written down and it comes with the property: how the rooms are priced, where the tenants come from, what the leases look like, and what years of this taught me about which ones to say yes to.
Full rent roll available in the offering packet.
