Property Description
Two homes in one! Designed for multi-generational living or passive income. Unassuming from the street, the same family has loved, improved, and beautifully maintained this 1938 brick cottage-style home for nearly 30 years. Hardwood floors flow throughout both homes. Custom plantation shutters, large windows, skylights, and glass doors provide abundant natural light, creating an open, spacious feel. The homes flow wonderfully from room to room, indoors to outdoors, surrounded by gardens, bulbs, perennials, and shrubs that flower at different times throughout the growing season. The fenced-in backyard features a garden shed and an expansive vine-covered trellis, creating a serene oasis with trumpet flowers, jasmine, and climbing roses. In the original part of the main house, a second bedroom on the main, tiled bathroom, period-style living room, and dining room blend elegantly with the modern addition to the home. Off the dining room, a recently enclosed sunroom adds square footage to the public record. In 2000, the home underwent an attic expansion. Upstairs is a flexible, open space divided into two sizable bedroom areas, a smaller alcove, and a large walk-through closet. The bath features a jacuzzi tub and a separate shower. This space could be reimagined into an incredible owner's sanctuary or formally divided into multiple bedrooms. Built-in bookcases, lift-top window seats, and two enclosed attic spaces provide plenty of extra storage. The upstairs is freshly painted, and the floors have just been refinished. In 2016, another major renovation added a dedicated laundry room, a primary suite on the main floor, an open-concept gourmet kitchen, and a great room to the main house. The primary bedroom suite features a walk-in closet (a rarity in Normaltown), ample light, and a bathroom with a large stained-glass transom window, travertine flooring, and slate and marble tile. A pair of antique mirror bathroom doors and reclaimed pocket doors add to the artistic aesthetic. The renovated great room/kitchen has vaulted ceilings and recessed LED lighting, creating an expansive yet comfortable space for entertaining. French doors in the family room open to a side porch, perfect for outdoor grilling and eating al fresco. In the kitchen, a large island, green marble countertops, dual sinks, plentiful storage, and top-of-the-line appliances make the kitchen a chef's delight. A second set of French doors in the family room reveals an adjoining screen porch. Beautifully imagined with arched, reclaimed wood ceilings, the porch connects to a second home. This house is private, with two dedicated entrances. Its vaulted high ceilings and multiple skylights flood the space with light. It has a full gourmet kitchen, a gas-log fireplace in the living room, and a large bath. The bath features an ADA-compatible stone-tiled walk-in shower and a beautiful stained glass window. Through a sliding glass door, there is a separate covered porch. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet. A second bedroom/office space and laundry room complete the second home. The attic space is accessible by a pull-down ladder. This peaceful retreat is just a quick walk to Normaltown's restaurants and shops, Bishop Park and the Farmer's Market, and UGA's Health Sciences campus. Schedule to see this beautiful, one-of-a-kind home today, and prepare to be amazed.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
