Charming Red Brick Tudor in Morningside – A Unique Duplex with Endless Potential, Welcome to 1553 Johnson Road NE, a classic red brick Tudor in the sought-after Morningside neighborhood. This legal duplex, formerly operated as a non-conforming triplex, brims with character and endless possibilities. The property features two separate apartments on the main level and a fully independent unit upstairs. The two main-level apartments offer unique layouts. One is a cozy one-bedroom, one-bathroom unit with a spacious eat-in kitchen and direct access to the lower terrace level laundry area and basement storage. The second unit features two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a dining room, an enclosed porch, and kitchen access to shared laundry and storage space. Both kitchens are in mid-renovation and ready to be completed with minimal effort. The upstairs unit is a bright two-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment with a living room and sunroom overlooking lush trees, offering a serene escape. The clean and spacious lower terrace level houses the laundry and storage area, with potential for conversion into additional living space. Additionally, the property includes a two-car garage with ample parking and turnaround space. If converted into a single-family home, the new owner has the opportunity to transform the garage into a new structure with an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) above, per city approval (buyer to verify). All three units are currently unoccupied, allowing for various customization options. Whether you envision converting this home back into a grand single-family residence, maintaining it as a duplex, or exploring rental opportunities, this property is rich in potential. Nestled near the vibrant Morningside area, this home is ideally situated near Atlanta’s best shopping, dining, and recreational destinations, including the Beltline, Piedmont Park, and the Morningside Nature Preserve. It also falls within the desirable Morningside school district and a short stroll to Morningside shopping area. Discover the charm and versatility of this timeless Morningside gem and make it your own!
