When I found this one on You Tube, it was listed as a “banned commercial.”
You know back when, we (as a society) could not handle these “hot” commercials. Enjoy it now!

It seems that Chipper Jones has finished up with the Atlanta Braves and his little 23,000 sq. ft. bungalow in North Fulton.
According to the AJC, he’s already purchased another home in the Atlanta area. With such details as 7 bedrooms (lot’s of room for the visiting family?) and a 6- car garage (ok, now I’m in love with it) it’s priced about 25 percent less than the former Atlanta Braves third basemen paid for the home. It’s listed at $3.2 million.
Interested? I’d be happy to schedule a showing for you. I suspect you will need to prove your financial ability to purchase the home first.
We're sorry, but we couldn't find MLS # 5092957 in our database. This property may be a new listing or possibly taken off the market. Please check back again.

Ninety-eight of Georgia’s top high school football juniors will gather in Atlanta on Dec. 27 for a five day developmental program known as theRisingSeniors.com AT&T Georgia Junior Bowl, founded by former Georgia Tech star and Buffalo Bill, Joe Burns, and Dallas Cowboy, Izell Reese.
RisingSeniors was created to assist high school juniors with their athletic, academic and social development while preparing them for their senior year and instilling in them the necessary tools to thrive academically, athletically and socially. This program is offered to the selected participants as an all-expense paid scholarship program covered by the RisingSeniors Foundation.
Can’t say I ever heard of this event..and it’s right here in Midtown Atlanta! I always like to learn about new events….but when they are in my backyard and I did not even know…well then! But looks like an incredible opportunity for high school football juniors!

The holidays are all about family. My trips home to Montana now fall in the late Springtime so I don’t have to endure a week of freezing cold weather with nothing to do! (Skiing has long been removed from my list of activities!)
But there is something about coming home.
Forewarned is forearmed…have some tissues handy for this Classic Car Commercial that aired in 2004!

Often times when you are driving through a city, or down a major street, you see all these buildings, but have no idea what they are. You can usually tell the difference between an office building and a residential building. But, What are their names, or what is unique about them?
Viewpoint Midtown Atlanta — has 378 one and two bedroom homes, although at least one combination of a 1 and 2 bedroom has taken place. Located between 6th and 7th Streets, this is one of the last new condominium buildings built in Midtown before the real estate market took a turn. Residents love the staff here, and the amenities are a big selling feature. A rooftop Zen garden, resort-styled lap pool and club room are a focal point of Viewpoint Midtown.
Metropolis Midtown — This condo building is often given credit for starting the new condo construction boom in Midtown. The twin towers are separated by a pool deck and club room. It is the ONLY Midtown condo building that has a port cochere entrance where guests can be dropped off at the lobby. The sleek lobby has access to both the port cochere and Peachtree Street.
1010 Midtown Atlanta — Now has the distinction (as of this post date) of being the last Midtown Atlanta condominium building that still has new, developer-owned inventory. The building is part of the 12th and Midtown development, and a new apartment building is now being built on the backside of 1010 Midtown which will greatly impact the view of homes on that side of the building.
805 Peachtree — With 120 homes and 30 different floor plans, 805 Peachtree is considered a boutique condo building. It is also only 6 stories tall. The pool area and lobby of this community are unique features of the building. Only select homes have either juliette balconies, or actual walk out balconies.
Peachtree Lofts — One of the very first conversions of an office building to condominiums, that conversion was done before many of the standard features a condo buyer expects (granite, stainless appliances) were used in condos. As a result, many of the homes are still original with white kitchens and laminate counters. However, numerous units have had additional renovations, and the lobby of the building was just completely renovated.
The Reynolds — If you REALLY want to follow Midtown boundaries, The Reynolds is not actually in Midtown Atlanta, but an area South of North Avenue, or SoNo. It is conveniently located across the street from Emory Crawford Long Hospital, making it an excellent choice for medical professionals that may want to live next to the hospital, or perhaps have a home in the burbs, and a condo here.
Spire Midtown Atlanta — Located directly across the street from Viewpoint, Spire Midtown Atlanta is one of the three Novare Sisters…Novare being the developer of Metropolis, Spire and Viewpoint. The building offers 18 different floor plans with select homes on the western side (back side) of the building having private and larger balconies.
Cornerstone Village — Created from two historic buildings and two buildings of new construction, the Midtown Atlanta condo community still offers some outstanding values for a Midtown Atlanta condo buyer. Many parents of GATech students look here as this is the closest condominium building to the campus that has homes under $100,000.
If you’d like to do more that read about, or look at pictures of these Midtown Atlanta condominium buildings, and actually live in one, let me know! Prices are starting to climb, and now is the time to still find some great opportunities. Just complete the form below and I’ll get a search underway for your Midtown Atlanta home in the sky!
