We are excited to bring Providence back on the market after a break for the holidays! As you can see from the pictures below, there is nothing quite like this anywhere in North Fulton, or really, anywhere in Metro Atlanta quite like this.

Providence is a very sophisticated, classic American home custom designed by Stephen Fuller. The setting - your choice of either 30 or 60 acres (both with lake frontage), is private and peaceful and the home itself is a magnificent achievement of understated elegance and symmetry inspired by Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and George Washington's Mount Vernon estates.

If you are interested in viewing this home, please contact me directly and I will arrange a private showing. You can find more photos and a video…

I know what I think - I'll never be a TV star, but I think it came out pretty good!

We should have had this up before Christmas, but our schedules just couldn't make it work. Providence is an exceptional home by any standards, but the warmth you feel during the Christmas Season is something that photographs can just begin to help you explore. Nevertheless I gave it an effort yesterday. I only had about an hour and a half for the everything and the home is large requiring multiple lights set up to fill the rooms. This is realy only a glimpse, but worth a quick look.

My plan was to take the exterior shots at dusk and use them as the intro photos here, but for various reasons we couldn't get those shots. I think the ones I was able take will help give you an idea of what it's like to host parties and have family over for the holidays. I…

Proportion and Symmetry

The Jeffersonian era architectural styles…

This is my first attempt at a video and after coming back from REtechSouth, it became clear that I needed to make an effort to move into video. Although I am constantly reminded that video killed the radio star and might kill me too, I nonetheless have decided to slap my face up on the screen. I'm sure I will get over the stage fright soon :)

This one definitely isn't perfect, but I'll improve. I think it's an important topic and hopefully it will help convince you of why you need a survey.

The Importance of a Survey

More Survey Information

I'll write a follow up post with more information on why you need a survey this evening.

Haynes Valley Information 

Driving down Haynes Bridge yesterday afternoon, I noticed a new sign. Haynes Valley has been sitting empty now for over a year as many partially built-out neighborhoods have, but, I bet these will get scooped up very quickly once they hit the market. I tried calling Ashton Woods this morning with the extension on the sign, but, they don't have info yet.

If these sound interesting to you, contact me and I'll be sure you get set up so that you can get in on what is sure to be an outstanding deal.

As of right now, information is extremely limited but I did find some information from the city of Alpharetta's website and yes, this is Alpharetta, not Roswell or Johns Creek. See the map below.

• There are 11 lots with a minimum…

I can't speak for all of the listings, but I sure can speak about the brand new baby we listed last night (the one to your left). It's in Crabapple Crossroads, it's brand new and it's only $300,000. Yes, that's right. $300,000. View the details here...

4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 2 masters; one on the main level and one upstairs, granite kitchen. It's Crabapple Crossroads in Milton. It's everything you would expect except it's only $300,000. Here are a few details:

The address is 209 Roseville Place in Crabapple Crossroads located in the Crabapple Overlay District in the City of Milton on the north side of Crabapple Road and to the west of Birmingham Highway. The schools are Crabapple Crossing Elementary, Northwestern Middle and Milton High.

Crooked Creek is a fantastic golf and country club community located in Milton undergoing something of an unusual change for a neighborhood in the real estate market today. A robust $4,000,000 renovation to the facilities is being undertaken in a real estate market that has just taken a beating over the past few years.  With homes dating to the mid nineties, many people believed that these updates may do the community well and freshen up the general appearance. This may still happen, but, construction is behind schedule and we'll really have to wait another year to see if that plays out. Until then, here is an update on market statistics. Faced with lots of competition in the zip code for similarly priced homes, staging, marketing and price ring true as…

Kevin Warmath:

Son. Father. Husband. Friend to many. Fellow REALTOR. You will be missed. I never met you in person, but, I feel like I knew you quite well. You made it easy for me and many others to feel this way. Your contribution to your family, your friends and your clients greatly outweighs what you have done for me as another local real estate professional, but, it is significant. To me.

Few days went by that I did not visit your blog. I looked to you for inspiration when I could not find it myself. You made me better. And you probably didn’t even know it. I know that you will.

I cannot stop time. I know what’s coming. I need to write about it though. It’s what I know. Goodbye Kevin. For now. Tonight, I will pray for you. For your family. And…
