219 E 56th Street

The rare duplex in Ardmore you've been searching for is finally available for sale. 219 E 56th Street is a three-story brick two-family home with a columned front entry, stacked screened porches, and a shaded lot under mature oaks and pines. A center staircase anchors the house. It has two separate units totaling 3,687 sq ft. 2 bed / 1 bath: leased at $1,900/mo through December 2026. 4 bed / 2 bath: leased at $2,500/mo through August 2027. That's $4,400/mo in place. HVAC systems and water heaters were recently replaced. The 2-bedroom unit sits on the ground floor. Both bedrooms are tucked at the back, away from the kitchen and living spaces, and a bonus room works as an office or dining room. The 4-bedroom unit spans the 2nd and 3rd floors, with two bedrooms and a full bath on each level. Its lease runs through August 2027, while the ground-floor lease ends in December, so you can move in downstairs and let the upstairs rent help cover the mortgage, or re-lease both and hold the property as an investment. Owner-occupants may qualify for 2–4 unit financing, so check with your lender. The 0.16-acre lot includes off-street parking. Nearby properties have added ADUs, so there may be room to expand; buyer to verify with the MPC. Ardmore filled in through the 1920s–'40s with brick bungalows and Revival-style homes on wide, oak-lined blocks. From here you can walk to Daffin Park, Hull Park, Habersham Village, Savannah Arts Academy, Charles Ellis Montessori, and Jacob G. Smith Elementary. Forsyth Park, downtown, Starland, and SCAD are minutes away. Come tour your future home before it’s sold!
