Fixer-upper opportunity in Rome with several major improvements already completed, including a roof less than five years old and updated electrical wiring throughout the interior. The electrical meter has not yet been installed. The home offers two bedrooms, a bonus room that could work well as an office or flex space, hardwood flooring, and an attached carport. Outside, you’ll find a level yard, level driveway, and a separate utility/storage building. For investors, the location is one of the stronger parts of the opportunity. The property is in town, less than 10 minutes from both Shorter University and Berry College, with convenient access to shopping, employment, and Downtown Rome. Rome continues to have an active rental market, and the smaller 2-bedroom footprint gives an investor flexibility to evaluate either a rental or resale strategy. The property is being sold AS-IS and will need additional repairs and updating. Seller has limited knowledge of the property, and no Seller’s Property Disclosure is available. Buyers are encouraged to complete their own inspections and due diligence. Due to the current condition, cash or hard money financing will likely be the best fit.

West Rome, located between Downtown Rome and the Coosa River, is a residential and industrial Rome neighborhood with mill-era streetscapes and river-adjacent green space. The character concentrates around the West 3rd Street and Shorter Avenue corridor, where auto shops, taquerias, and long-running storefronts set a working-day rhythm. Brick bungalows and modest cottages mix with warehouse blocks and rail-side lots. The Foundry on Fifth and the Rome Little Theatre add an arts-and-events counterpoint to the utilitarian fabric. Ridge Ferry Park and the Riverwalk trace the waterline with broad paths and open lawns. Short drives connect to Berry College’s gate and trails, while side streets stay quiet and practical.

H-T-R
High Density Traditional Residential District
The HT-R Traditional Residential District is established to provide opportunities for higher density single family residential averaging four to seven units per acre. The HT-R District development patterns and architectural styles are reflective of the residential neighborhoods established before the 1940s. Streets were developed along a grid pattern with neighborhoods conveniently located to local shopping areas. Although these are older areas of the community, it is envisioned that this zoning district is also appropriate for new single-family development built in this neo-traditional style.; Manufactured homes are not considered appropriate in the HT-R District.; Two Family Dwellings Duplexes may be deemed appropriate in the HT-R District under certain circumstances, however, a Special Use Permit is required.; Attached single-family dwelling as defined in Article 8 may be considered appropriate as infill development if the design is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood in terms of scale, height, roof pitch, provision of parking, and orientation toward the street. Such development, if approved by Special Use Permit, must meet the standards listed
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
