northcrest: Atlanta Mid-Century Modern Home: Featured in AJC! - 11/02/11 07:22 PM
So the other day I got a phone call from a guy who said he worked for the AJC, at first I thought he was going to try and sell me some kind of advertising package, but when he started explaining how he was a reporter who focused on the writing about personal residences for the AJC Homefinder section of the Sunday paper, my ears pricked up and my heart started beating fast. You see, I've always enjoyed getting attention, ever since I was an obnoxious, snot-nosed little kid I would do all kinds of morally wrong things just to get my mom's attention. … (0 comments)

northcrest: Mid-Century Modern Atlanta Home... it keeps going and going and... - 06/18/11 07:07 PM
Tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac this Mid-Century Modern Ranch Home Just keeps going and going and going, similar to an energizer bunny (minus the pink fur and drum-sticks). The living space has been opened up to create a wonderful floor plan that is move-in-ready with fresh paint and an updated kitchen! What sets this Modern, Mid-Century Gem apart is the privacy and limitless amount of outdoor space. The multi-level deck overlooks a private, peaceful backyard while the screened in porch is big enough to house a banquet table that could fit your entire extended family! Don't miss the new … (3 comments)

northcrest: Why All Real Estate Agents are NOT created Equal. - 08/24/10 06:02 PM
Whenever I go on a listing appointment and describe how my marketing and staging techniques are worth every dollar it’s hard for some sellers to grasp the value, especially without seeing visuals. So I decided to pull an example of before and after shots of this Mid-Century Modern Home that was recently re-listed by me in Northcrest (Atlanta’s MCM neighborhood). 3506 Summitridge Dr. is a Ranch with a 2 car garage. Before my team and I got our paws on 3506 Summitridge Dr., it was looking a little sad and lonely. The previous agent’s attempt was just that – an attempt. Unfortunately it did not … (1 comments)

northcrest: SPRING FEVOR. NORTHCREST IN FULL BLOOM!! - 04/05/10 03:26 PM
Enjoying my walk this morning I got to thinking about why I moved to Northcrest. I could write a book about all the awesome neighbors or how much fun the Pool Club is in summer, but the reason I pulled the trigger on my Northcrest Mid-Century Modern home can be summed up in one word: Spring.
Spring is probably the most magical time of year (in my humble opinion). The Redbud trees look like they've been plugged in, and all the natural light that filters through the neon green leaves is a little bit brighter and happier when it falls on the … (0 comments)

northcrest: BEFORE & AFTER: A Dramatic Mid-Century Modern Renovation! - 02/27/10 05:48 PM

When it comes to restoring a Mid-Century Modern Home preservation is KEY!! Depending on the pre-existing condition and the integrity of the home, the more original the better! There are some things that should be added and updated though. Depending on your budget, it can be easy to get carried away because the possibilities are unlimited!! 
The home in the pictures below is located at 3535 Summitridge Drive in Atlanta GA. It is currently for sale CLICK HERE for more info.  The renovations took place from December through February. The pictures below show the dramatic cosmetic improvements, but what you can't see … (14 comments)

northcrest: Was Life Easier Back Then?? - 02/24/10 11:18 PM
"Don't know why there's no sun up in the sky, stormy weather..." 
I love listening to songs sang by Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Frank, Louis.... all the great Blues singers of the past. Give me a cigarette and a gin and tonic on the rocks and I will sing along all night (maybe not the cigarette, but I could hold it and look cool).
Inspired by the past, I decided to throw on my fur coat hair-spray my bob and call the neighborhood photographer Clay Miller  to snap some classy photos of me and my man. We had so much fun … (11 comments)

northcrest: Mid-Century Modern Snow - 02/13/10 05:57 PM
Here are some pictures of that white fluffy stuff also known as snow... we have been getting a lot of it this winter, but this was a dry, sparkly, powder that made for some great photo opportunities!! Northcrest is known for it's Mid-Century Modern Homes and "California" contemporaries. After the 3-4 inches we got last night I had to go snap some new shots of some signature homes in the 'hood.

northcrest: NORTHCREST: Atlanta's Mid-Century Modern Secret. - 01/11/10 08:58 AM
Atlanta has traditionally been known for it's brick Bungalows, English Tudors and Antebellum-style homes. Here in the city of trees a California contemporary is a rare find!
However, a couple miles north on I-85 and just off of Norhcrest Road there is a little architectural secret full of Mid-Century modern homes. Northcrest is a sprawling, multi-phase swim/tennis community with gentile swaying pine trees, fluorescent azaleas and vintage cars parked under shady carports. Inspired by the futuristic designs of Joseph Eichler, Northcrest was developed by Howard Hardrath and Walter Talley of P&H Company in the late 1950's through early 60's.
Each home was designed and built … (1 comments)

northcrest: Foreclosures: How to particpate in a bidding war and not loose your cool! - 01/10/10 10:38 PM
I know, you are thinking to yourself this agent has lost her mind, it's a "buyer's market!" Yes in general the main theme is still leaning towards a buyer's market, but in 2009 we saw a trend with multiple offers on Atlanta foreclosures and Bank Owned properties.  Bidding wars can be confusing, especially when dealing with foreclosures. Listing agents representing the banks are sometimes less than attentive (to put it nicely). Cold hard cash offers from investors with no financing contingencies are beating out most would be homeowners who sometime make offers for full asking price!  Atlanta isn't the only city dealing with hungry cash buying investors, … (3 comments)

northcrest: SORRY TOO LATE! - 01/10/10 10:00 AM
Sorry 3487 is UNDER CONTRACT! But don't be disappointed there are several other Mid-Century Modern homes that are available in Northcrest. 
This Vintage Tri-Level is simplistically sophisticated. The original pine Tongue and Grove ceiling is in perfect condition. The Upstairs living room features the original fireplace with the same gas logs from 1962. The oversized sky light lets in ample natural light and the floating staircase that leads to the lover level brings back a time when martini's were stirred not shaken and pearls and aprons were worn while vacuuming.
Hurry, unlike other neighborhoods, Northcrest Homes SELL FAST!!!! For more info … (2 comments)
