One household. Decades of care. Timeless '70s character. Built in 1974, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath California style single level ranch in Marietta's established Providence North neighborhood has been lovingly lived in by the same household since new. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, well away from Ebenezer Road, 3230 Melrose Drive offers a peaceful setting without a formal HOA or annual HOA dues. Three sliding glass doors, replaced just a few years ago, connect the home to a large rear deck overlooking the private backyard - a welcoming spot to unwind and enjoy the tranquility. Inside, recent updates include LVP flooring in the family room, new carpet in the living and dining rooms, professionally cleaned bedroom carpets, and fresh paint in the living room, dining room, hallway, and family room. Documented maintenance includes a roof installed in 2022 with 30-year shingles, septic pumping and repairs in 2026. A transferable termite bond adds another practical benefit, while the current HVAC service agreement runs through October 31, 2026, with the latest service completed in October. Supporting records for improvements and maintenance, both large and small, are available onsite in the Property Book and through its QR code. Everyday conveniences and recreation are close by, with Target, Kroger, Publix, Harrison Park, Sandy Plains Park, Mountain View Regional Library, and The Art Place within an approximate two-mile radius. I-575 access via Chastain Road is roughly five miles away. From its enduring character to its private outdoor setting, this home offers a comfortable place to settle in and make your own.
