Selling Sandy Springs GA Homes

I grew up in Sandy Springs and went to North Springs High School. My parents still live in Sandy Springs. In short, I know the area well. As a top Atlanta REALTOR, I understand how to effectively market a home. Selling an upscale Atlanta home, for the most value, requires a multi-prong strategy. It requires professional photography to catch potential home buyers on the internet, networking with fellow agents, home staging advice, open houses, etc…

A Piece of Sandy Springs History

admin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:11:33 +0000

This historic home was recently featured in the AJC Homes Section.

This is a rare opportunity to become an owner of a Reconstruction era home in North Atlanta. The c.1870 house has been recognized by the Sandy Springs Historical Society as one of the oldest buildings in the area.

Your home will have original features that cannot be duplicated in modern times. The masonry fireplace is constructed with imported, handmade bricks from Charleston. The heart pine floors, traditional moldings, 10-foot ceilings and large windows combine to give the home an unquestionable historic feel. The home stands as a monument to custom craftsmanship that defies the current wave of cookie-cutter homes.

The original character is maintained while providing modern conveniences such as a large master suite, ample closet space and an updated kitchen. Many improvements have been made that enhance the quality of the home. The entire driveway is made with hand-laid, individual pavers. The multi-level deck allows you to enjoy your morning cup of coffee and newspaper while enjoying woodland views. The secluded property is just under an acre.

The kitchen is a gourmet cook’s paradise. No detail was spared with pullout cabinets, subway tile, farmers sink, stainless steel appliances, breakfast bar and a gas range. Dinner in the elegant dining room, with hand stenciled walls and period windows, will always be a special experience. The office / bedroom has bookshelves and cabinets built by a true craftsmen.

You’ll like watching television in the large den that is part of a desirable, open floor plan. It opens up into the kitchen and connects to the sunroom with a row of French doors. The windows in the scenic sunroom can be opened to catch a cool breeze.

Architectural historians will be quick to spot the wide hallway as part of the original home. A central hall extending through the house would provide a breeze during the summer months.

The master bedroom is quite large and seems even bigger with a vaulted ceiling. As part of the master suite addition, you get a large bonus room. This room can be used as an extra TV room, an office or a nursery. When you wake up in the morning you can walk out on the upper deck for a view of the woodlands.

The carriage house above the garage has a complete kitchen and bathroom. It can be used for rental income or as a private office / studio. There is also access to a separate laundry facility in the garage.

Brief History of Sandy Springs

admin — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 04:06:30 +0000

Sandy Springs, Georgia has gone through a huge transformation over the last few years. The people of Sandy Springs had spent the better part of three decades trying to gain incorporation, and come out from under the thumb of Fulton County. The City of Atlanta has always stared at Sandy Springs they way a salivating dogs looks at a piece of raw meat. Since Atlanta is very Democrat and Democrats controlled the State Legislature of Georgia, the incorporation of Sandy Springs was blocked for decades. When the GOP took control of the Legislature, Sandy Springs was given its city charter.

Here is an excerpt on the history of Sandy Springs:

Today, what had started as a grass roots effort to defeat annexation in 1966 by the city of Atlanta grew to be an impressive bid for freedom. Sandy Springs is now Georgia’s 7th largest city with an estimated population of 85,000 in 2006. It was incorporated in December 2005 after more than thirty years of persistent legal and political maneuvering by its staunch residents

I only wish Buckhead had been able to hold Atlanta back. It was an unincorporated area in the late 50s and was eventually eaten by the City of Atlanta. There is a club in Atlanta still in existence today, The Buckhead Fifty Club, that was originally founded to stop Buckhead’s annexation by the City of Atlanta.

Today, Buckhead shovels an amazing amount of money into the City coffers, but receives very little in return. At a minimum, we should be receiving the impact fees for major development projects. You would think this would be obvious; the area that is impacted by the new development should receive the fees for new roads, traffic lights, police stations, etc… Not in Atlanta, the money is sent to all over the city. I know Rep. Ed Lindsey has been trying to pass legislation, requiring that cities spend impact fees within a certain radius of where the impact is occurring. I hope he is successful in his efforts.

When you buy a home in Sandy Springs, you get the best of both worlds. You have all the advantages of living in Buckhead, but you have more control over you tax dollars. You’re money is actually spent on police officers, firemen and capital projects in your community.

If you have any questions about buying a home in Sandy Springs, please call me. I grew up in Sandy Springs and know the area very well.

A great Sandy Springs sandwich shop

Administrator — Fri, 29 May 2009 04:02:42 +0000

I had a great casual lunch with my family today at a deli in Sandy Springs. The restaurant is called R/J Casuals and it’s in a strip mall at 8540 Roswell Road. It’s right next door to where the old Diggers sports bar used to be.

The strip mall and deli are very nondescript. The inside is utilitarian, just the basics, but a great spot for a quality sandwich. To be honest, I would never have noticed the place had I not been to the mall for other reasons. I saw a bunch of Sandy Springs cops eating there and figured they would know about the good eats.

It’s one of the best sandwich shops in metro Atlanta. I think what makes the spot is the fact one of the partners is a professional baker and the other does the cooking. They make all their own bread and roast a lot of their own meats. I really like the fact they had Portuguese roles. That coupled with high quality meats makes for some great sandwiches. They also have some awesome desserts. There is a true homemade vibe that permeates the place.

I had the turkey melt on focaccia bread which was outstanding. My husband had some homemade roast beef on a fresh baked Portuguese roll which he said was really great.

If you’re up in Sandy Springs check it out sometime.
