Inside the Home
One household. Decades of care. Timeless ’70s character. Built in 1974, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath California-style ranch offers over 2,000 square feet of single-level living in Marietta’s established Providence North neighborhood. This is no quick flip - it’s a home lovingly lived in and cared for by the same household since new, with documented maintenance and improvements over the years. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, well away from busy Ebenezer Road, 3230 Melrose Drive offers a peaceful setting with no formal HOA or annual HOA dues.
Three sliding glass doors, replaced just a few years ago, open onto a large rear deck overlooking the private backyard - a peaceful spot to unwind. Inside, recent improvements include LVP flooring in the family room, new carpet in the living and dining rooms, professionally cleaned bedroom carpets, and fresh paint throughout the main living areas and hallway. The kitchen and bathrooms were professionally renovated several years back.
Maintenance
Documented maintenance includes a roof installed in 2022 with 30-year shingles and transferable warranty. The septic tank was also pumped and repairs completed in 2026. It has also been vacant the last 5-months in addition to only 1-person living in the house the last few year. A transferable termite bond with Massey Services and an HVAC service agreement with Shumate HVAC ends on October 31, 2026. A buyer could also extend that. The latest HVAC service was completed this month, which offer additional practical benefits. Supporting maintenance and improvement records are available onsite in the Property Book and digitally through the provided Dropbox link or QR code.

What does Cobb County offer?
Cobb County is very well-known for its quality public education and school system. If you are unfamiliar, you can check out the school ratings online - but, I always recommend an in-person visit to confirm your impressions.
Another attractive feature that Cobb offers is that eligible homeowners age 62 and older may also qualify for Cobb County’s exemption from school general and school bond property taxes, subject to homestead eligibility and application requirements. This may significantly reduce the property tax bill (up to 70%), depending on eligibility.
With enduring character, documented care, and a private outdoor setting, this home is ready for its next chapter - and yours.
