It is not every day that a turnkey midcentury pops up on the market for less than $500,000—but that’s the case in Rossville, Georgia. Nestled on a tree-lined street along the historic Missionary Ridge, the single-story home was built in the late 1950s and has since received meticulous care.

Tucked away on a nearly 1.5-acre lot in Rossville, Georgia, the 1957 midcentury offers plenty of living space—both inside and out. In addition to the 3,115-square-foot interior, the home has an expansive landscaped lot with verdant vegetation that ensures privacy. There is also an attached two-car garage.
