782 Delmar Ave - Grant Park

This charming bungalow / cottage was on the market for over three months with another real estate agent when the Ferguson’s hired me to list — and SELL — their home.   After some creative marketing and a few helpful neighbors, we were able to sell it in less than 3 WEEKS at  99.4% of the listing price!  Needless to say, the sellers were thrilled… and very relieved. 

>>  See the Ferguson’s feedback on Kudzu.com

915 PARK AVENUE – Grant Park

This 3 bed / 1 bath bungalow is just steps from Grant Park.  It had some great bones but needed quite a bit of TLC.  While the sellers prepared the home for sale, I focused on some “Coming Soon” marketing and wow, did it work!    Believe it or not, we had a buyer for the home less than 5 minutes after I installed the “Just Listed” sign in front of the home.   The icing on the cake was that the home sold for $209,500 — that’s just $400 less than the $209,900 list price.

After living in Grant Park for more than 10 years, this charming couple is now off to Florida to open a bed and breakfast…. fulfilling a dream they’ve had for decades.  I’m so happy for them and it is one of the many reasons why my role as a real estate agent is so special!

** I just listed a gorgeous Craftsman-style home in Grant Park, so hopefully I will have another happy, happy home seller in a few weeks!

If you are considering selling your home and would like a no-hassle consultation, please call me, Kerry Lucasse,  anytime at (404) 432.1844.  I would be honored to walk you through my “Coming Soon” pre-listing strategy and internet marketing plans.

JUST SOLD IN GARDEN HILLS!

This gorgeous, fully restored Tudor-style home on Bolling Road, was in high demand the moment it was listed.  In the first weekend, three different buyers submitted offers on the home and three others were waiting in the wings to submit a back up offer. 

We are VERY pleased to announce that the Kohl Family is now the proud owner of this home and we couldn’t be happier for them. 

If you are reading this blog post, I’m sure you’re curious about the sales price… The listing price for this 4 bedroom Tudor was $750,000… and it sold at 98.6% of the listing price.  It’s a wonderful sign that the market is recovering!

If you are looking for the best that Atlanta Intown living offers, the popular Garden Hills neighborhood should be at the top of your list.  This upscale intown neighborhood is located between Peachtree and Piedmont roads and is bordered by Pharr Road and East Wesley Road.  It’s convenient to shopping, restaurants, festivals, Marta and the interstate.

The charm of this neighborhood is undeniable – with tree-lined, winding streets, small parks, impeccable landscaping, people jogging or walking their dogs, and children walking to the Garden Hills pool, soccer field or rec center. 

ARCHITECTURE:  Homes in Garden Hills range from Tudor, Georgian, Craftsman and Spanish Revival.  Many of the residents have done a wonderful job restoring the homes with period details… and all the modern conveniences.  In 1987, the homes on the oldest streets in Garden Hills were given historic district status. 

 SCHOOLS:   In addition to several private schools, this neighborhood is home to the highly acclaimed Garden Hills Elementary, as well as Sutton Middle School and North Atlanta High School.   For more information,  please visit GreatSchools.com

HOME VALUES:   Even in the current real estate market, home values remain fairly stable and single family homes range in price from $300,000 to $1.8M.   The average sale price is in the low to mid $700s.

As an Atlanta real estate agent, I see hundreds of homes each year and have grown quite fond of the new contruction Craftsman-style homes around Atlanta.  You get all the period-style details, high ceilings and charm — without the maintenance that an older 1920s Craftsman Bungalow may require.

After trying to search for new or newer Craftsman homes online, I’ve noticed that it can be a bit of a challenge, so I created a one-stop shop on my website, www.ATLhomesearch.com. 

You can now search for ALL Craftsman-style homes for sale — by neighborhood, subdivision or zip code!

Last week, I listed a GORGEOUS Craftsman in Atlanta’s popular Kirkwood / Oakhurst neighborhood.  In addition to all the period details that people love (i.e. hardwoods, 11+ ft ceilings, etc), this home also features 4 bedrooms + 2 large bonus rooms, 3 full bathrooms and a 2-car garage.  It’s the best of both worlds!

CONGRATS to first-time home buyers Ben & Laura!  They just purchased a bungalow in East Lake (near the popular Oakhurst Village). 

Their 1920s brick bungalow has gorgeous hardwoods, an open floor plan and a fully renovated kitchen.  It would have sold for at least $35,000 more just a few years ago, but Ben & Laura were very savvy “first timers” and immediately knew it was the perfect home for them.  

Not only do they have a gorgeous new home at an exceptional price, Laura & Ben have a low interest rate on their mortgage AND they qualify for the $8,000 first-time home buyer tax credit.  

If you are thinking of buying your first home, the clock is ticking!  Please don’t miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.  To qualify for the tax credit, you need to purchase your home by November 30, 2009.

Looking for that perfect Intown Atlanta bungalow?

Your dream home will officially be on the market later this week!

Find ALL the Atlanta Craftsman Bungalows for Sale 

As an official “Bungalow-a-holic”, I thought that it might be helpful for my fellow Atlanta Bungalow lovers, if I created a page that would link you directly to all of the historic Atlanta homes for sale — from Craftsman bungalows to Victorian and Tudor style homes. 

It can be challenging when you are searching the Atlanta MLS to sort through all of the different homes for sale, especially if you are trying to find a specific style, like the authentic bungalows, new construction Craftsman style homes, Tudor-style or Victorians. 

The following information will link you to ALL of the bungalows for sale in Atlanta, GA.

PLEASE NOTE:  As you look through the homes for sale below, you’ll probably see a few homes that are not “true” bungalows.  Why you ask?  When the real estate agents add their listings to the Atlanta MLS, sometimes they cannot correctly identify what type of home they are listing and they end up in my list below.  We are constantly improving the search criteria, but for now, this is the best search available for Atlanta Bungalows, Victorians and other historic Atlanta homes.

Be sure and bookmark the page, as the list of historic homes for sale in Atlanta is updated daily!
