A Mid-Century Modern Makeover: Before & After

August 17th, 2011
by vanessa

This ugly duckling needed a serious makeover, and not the 30-minute kind. It had been sitting vacant for over 6 months before it was bought from the bank. Everything needed fixin’  and in my humble (and professional) opinion I think we done good.

The dramatic and modern color pallet is what really sets this Mid-Century, tri-level home apart from the pack. I chose an “Urban Bronze” to  accents the beams and facia on the outside then continued with it on the interior as a juxtaposition with the white tongue and groove ceilings. For those of you who were lucky enough to see the 3360 Archwood Drive renovation you  might be thinking “gosh, those cabinets sure do look familiar?” Well your right, same glossy, zebra veneer, but we decided to go horizontal on the stripe, which lends itself better to the modern design elements of this modern home (at least that’s what they’re saying on HGTV).

3624 Summitridge Drive did not have the notorious “hollywood bathroom” with the shared shower that so many buyers dislike. Instead there was a full bath with incredible, grey and yellow original, mosaic tile that was cleaned and re-grouted. We then continued with the grey theme adding the “Carrera” subway tile vertically up the shower walls and extending  along one accent wall. The floating vanity was custom build by the same company that did the kitchen.

This master suite differs from most because it has a private deck that overlooks the backyard which opens up the space and provides even more morning light. It’s also a perfect place to enjoy your morning cup of mocha-java-minty-soy-sugar-free-choco-latte  while listening to the soothing sounds of  nature in your very own wildlife sanctuary backyard, only minutes from the bustling city of Atlanta, and all for $295k…. Ok enough sales pitch, let’s look at some before and after pictures!!

p.s. this house just hit the market and is priced to sell at $295,000 for all pictures and info CLICK HERE or give me a jingle to set up a showing 404-556-1733. Or for more Modern Atlanta Homes You know where to CLICK.

Psssstt…. here’s some Juicy Gossip!

August 7th, 2011

We don’t want to brag, but here at domoREALTY we are kind of a big deal.  It still surprises us when we introduce ourselves only to be asked “Do-Mo who?” or “what is DO-MO?” or “Where did you come up with that name?” shortly followed by “…Oh, is that from that robot song?”

I’m sorry to disappoint you, but domoREALTY did not highjack our name from the famous 80′s Styx song: Domo Arigato Mr. Robato

For those of you who did not sign up for your High School Latin class: Domus is the Latin word for home. We dropped the “us” added an “o” to make it sound more modern and va-la: domoREALTY was born!

Now that you are in the know about Domo, let’s continue to talk about how cool we are…  So with all the negative news about the housing market these days we thought it would be fun to share some GOOD NEWS about the Atlanta MODERN Real Estate Market!

Recently domoREALTY has been getting a little recognition in the Atlanta press, so why not share these upbeat articles about the Modern Real Estate market in Metro Atlanta?! Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Smoking kills and makes you smell bad, but it’s ok to hold a cigarette every now and then just to look cool in pictures. Just don’t inhale.

Northcrest: Another Happy Home Owner!

July 9th, 2011
by vanessa

After multiple offers and multiple contracts falling though Evan and Rebecca finally found their NORTHCREST Dream Home!! They are the new LUCKY owners of 3685 Eaglerock Dr.

Have you been looking for a Mid-Century Modern Home in Atlanta but can’t find it? Have you heard of Northcrest? I know there is a lot of stigma with living “OTP” (outside the perimeter) but here is the thing: Northcrest isn’t “outside” it’s “at” the perimeter! and I can tell you from personal experience that  it  is easier to get to places in and around Atlanta from this location than most in-town locations where I’ve lived in the past!  With 285 and 85 so close you can be in Buckhead in 10 minutes and at the Perimeter Mall area in less than 15. Or if you need to shoot downtown for some IKEA shopping you can get there in 15 minutes!!

So stop getting all hung up on living ”INSIDE” the perimeter. In Northcrest you get more BANG for the BUCK, bigger yards, cool neighbors and an assortment of wildlife! Plus we have tiki bar at our swim club, WHAT OTHER NEIGHBORHOOD POOL HAS A TIKI BAR!?!?! Riddle me that!

Are you looking for a Mid-Century Modern Home??
