Lot 101: 240 North Jeff Davis Drive, Fayetteville, GA 30214
The 2,838±SF building at 240 North Jeff Davis Drive, like many of the structures on the street, was built at the turn of the last century.

The attic is accessed by a narrow stairwell as well as a large dumbwaiter which drops down into the hallway of the main level. 

The property has been extensively renovated in the past 10 years with modern appliances, HVAC system, kitchen and baths and was used with 260 North Jeff Davis Drive as an event facility until early 2023. All utilities are available to the site and it is zoned DMU-BC under the new Universal Development Ordinance adopted May 4, 2023 by the city of Fayetteville, which provides for a number of commercial uses including Event Facility. The lot has 160 feet of frontage and between 332 and 334 feet of depth. 

The property was acquired by the bank through foreclosure on June 7, 2023. Current ordinances state that if the site has not been in use as an event facility for over a year, a conditional use application must be filed with Fayetteville Planning and Zoning to continue to use it as an event facility.
