Morningside Duplex Offers Character, Location and Financial Flexibility

Welcome to 1690 North Rock Springs Road, a distinctive Morningside property offering the character of a classic Intown home, an unusually large and private lot, and the flexibility of a separate, attached income-producing residence. The main residence features the architectural details buyers seek in Morningside: original hardwood floors, abundant natural light, gracious living spaces, and a welcoming front porch overlooking the landscaped front yard. The main level includes two spacious living areas, a formal dining room, an updated kitchen, a glass-enclosed sunroom, and an expansive screened porch designed for year-round entertaining and everyday living. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a fireplace, walk-in closet, private laundry area, and a spacious bath with dual vanities. Additional bedrooms, a full bath, and flexible bonus space provide room for family, guests, a home office, gym, media room, or playroom. What truly distinguishes this property is the attached two-bedroom residence, which has its own entrance, full kitchen, living room, laundry, one-and-a-half baths, and private rear porch. It has consistently leased for $2,500 or more per month for over a decade, offering the next owner the opportunity to generate meaningful income while enjoying the primary home. The space is equally well suited for extended family, an au pair, adult children, long-term guests, or a private home-office suite. The deep, approximately 0.38-acre lot is another exceptional feature. The private backyard includes mature landscaping, a gazebo, generous recreation and entertaining space, and rear parking for more than six vehicles—an uncommon combination in Morningside. The property is currently arranged as two private residences but may also be renovated to a single-family configuration, with architectural plans available. This flexibility allows the home to evolve with its next owner’s needs. Located minutes from Piedmont Park, the Atlanta BeltLine, Virginia-Highland, Midtown, Emory, neighborhood restaurants, shops, parks, and Morningside Elementary, 1690 North Rock Springs offers a rare combination of location, space, character, and financial flexibility.
