217 Hancock Before/After

217 Hancock is one of THE most amazing renovations…A once plain looking bungalow transformed into a Prairie style masterpiece!

“Prairie style” homes made their debut around the turn of the twentieth century and often associated with the design genius, Frank Lloyd Wright. This particular design style is known for horizontal flat lines and open floor plans. Although this design was originally intended to blend into the prairie landscape, the unique design definitely makes quite the impression.

As you look through these photos, take note of the attention to detail. There are many design elements that are just stunning. Enjoy!

Now Available: 1941 Trotti!

Exciting news.. a brand new beautifully designed home is now available in the heart of Kirkwood! 1941 Trotti, the newest craftsman style home by POP. Custom Homes,  gracefully balances modern amenities and historical details!

 The leaded glass windows, exposed rustic shelving, shiplap backsplash and beautiful built-ins make this kitchen and living space beautifully unique.

The master suite has it all – marble tile, elegant claw foot tub, and walk in closet.

Not to mention, this home is positioned right in the middle of Kirkwood, making it easy to walk downtown for a cup of Taproom coffee in the morning or maybe some neighborhood Mexican food at El Myriachi for dinner. Or hey, maybe both….Brilliant!

Marta Expansion

There are talks of a new bill to expand Marta, giving commuters an alternative to driving to work. Other cities that rival Atlanta in size have other modes of transportation for commuters in the city. The argument is that with the Marta expansion and road improvements, it will be easier to get to the city center (where the majority of jobs are!). Current Marta Route:

This expansion would reach outside the perimeter up 400, east toward I-20, and another rail more southeast of the city.  These road improvements and rail expansion would cost about $8 billion dollars (wow!) split between these two projects. This bill still has yet to be passed through legislation, but it is exciting to know that Atlanta could be moving in this direction. Can you imagine how much easier it would be for people to commute to work?

The future is bright and exciting for the City of Atlanta!
