Here’s the info on this amazing Drew Valley home:

Welcome to New!

New kitchen and baths.  New roof and gutters.  New electrical.  New plumbing.  New flooring.  New HVAC unit.  New fireplace.  New windows.  New insulation.  New paint.  New landscaping.  Meets 2010 building code.  You’ll love Drew Valley’s newest renovation by Brookhaven’s own Haven REI.  Drew Valley is well known in Brookhaven as an active and desirable community.  The proximity to Peachtree Road, I-85, and GA400 makes this home convenient to and from any direction.  Being in this booming area of unincorporated DeKalb County means you get to live as close as you can to the city without the escalating tax bills associated with Fulton County homes and City of Atlanta homes.

Loaded with extra craftsman touches and custom features, this home delivers a powerful first impression that lasts.  The new flagstone walkway to the front door sets the stage for the home; details were important in this renovation and are clearly evident.  The beadboard accented foyer sets off the richly stained new hardwood floors which continue throughout the home.  The colors are calm custom earthtones designed with today’s style in mind.  One of the distinguishing features of the home is the new coveted master suite addition.  Here you will find a master bedroom large enough to accommodate any size bedroom suit, and the walk in master closet gives you the oversized space you have been looking for.  Step out from the master onto the flagstone patio.  Unwind in luxury as you enjoy your new master bathroom complete with elevated double vanities, a separate claw foot bathtub, and a beautiful custom tiled shower.  The main living space is a unique combination of function and style combining the den, kitchen and dining area.  Designed with a rustic element in mind, this open, yet surprisingly cozy, setting includes smooth cut stained beams vaulting the ceiling and a mountain lodge-like large stone fireplace surround, rough cut stained mantle, and wood burning fireplace.    The open kitchen is home to custom stained cabinets, vibrant granite countertops, sparkling new stainless steel appliances, and an eat-in bar large enough for at least four barstools.  The three secondary bedrooms are all vaulted with exposed beams and stained original tongue and groove ceilings.  The secondary bathroom is fit for a king and all new with an elevated vanity, custom tile, and upgraded fixtures.  The backyard is freshly landscaped, big enough and perfect for your next large grill-out, tossing the ball with the dog, or playing with the little ones.  The new oversized one car carport is architecturally accenting and incredibly desirable, and the side parking pad provides great additional space.

With all the charm of a classic cottage and all the modern day conveniences, luxuries, and energy saving features of today’s new construction, this home has it all.

About twice a year, Andy and I will develop a HOUSE CRUSH! Yes, you heard me correctly – “house crush!” I know it may sound a little odd but we have the great pleasure of seeing some of the most beautiful homes and condos in Atlanta. It can be a dangerous encounter as we often think of moving. Our most recent house crush has been on one of our very own listings – this gorgeous, fully-furnished foreclosure condo in Park Place Buckhead!  The Problem: We’ve already SOLD it! In all seriousness, I’m not sure a family of 5 (including the dog) would be best suited for a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom condo but we can always dream, right?

Congratulations to the new buyers who got a fantastic deal and will have the most amazing view from the 27th floor every night! Can you tell I still have the CRUSH?

We see a lot of Atlanta foreclosures and many are in rotten shape!  This one was a diamond in the rough – completely renovated and fully furnished!  In addition, it was located in one of the most well-known luxury highrises – Park Place on Peachtree. Park Place, nestled amongst church row (Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church, Christ the King, and St. Phillips Cathedral) and across the street from an Atlanta restaurant favorite (La Grotta) is located in the Heart of Buckhead.  It’s also in walking distance to the new Steets of Buckhead!  No doubt that these buyers got a fantastic location, beautiful condo, and exceptional deal!  CONGRATS!!!

If we can help you find or sell a luxury Buckhead condo, give us a call!

Christopher’s.
