You might think that living in a condominium limits your creativity when it comes to remodeling or making changes. Nothing could be further from the truth. What MAY limit you is your pocketbook, or your imagination.
Mind you, remodeling in a condominium is much different than living in a single family home. In a house, it’s all yours. You don’t share walls, or have pipes from other peoples homes passing through the walls of your house. But in a condo, you do. But that should not stop you from thinking about changes you could make. You just have to follow more of a process.
But if you need to start coming up with some ideas, and you have not yet found Houzz..…let me be the first to introduce you!
This awesome site is jam packed with all kinds of ideas for every room in your condo…from the kitchen to the closets! You will find all kinds of neat ideas here.
And you can do minor, or you can do major….just depends. You want to keep the cost in mind in comparison to how long you have, or will be living in your condo. If you think you will be selling soon, don’t pump a ton of money into something you won’t get a return on. but some minor things you CAN do to a Midtown Atlanta condo are also easy. My first suggestion to any of my Buyers is change out the kitchen back splash. If you buy in an older building, adding tile to the kitchen and bath floors could be a nice change. Also, although more pricey, is a shower/tub surround re-tile.
Whatever your plans, or ideas, you’ll get a great start at Houzz!
As a consumer, you may not really know or understand the role your real estate agent plays when you buy or sell a house.
That really could be OUR fault! But then, we sometimes serve as the “punching bag” as you will…kind of shielding you from all the things the happen, and HALF TO HAPPEN in order for you to buy or sell that house or condominium.
What IS Being a Midtown Atlanta Real Estate Agent All About?
Well, at the end of the day, there really is one goal…..
Living ITP (Inside The Perimeter) in Atlanta can often mean you have to give up many of the features you’d like to have in a home. Like, living in a condominium INSTEAD of a single family home. Ah, never fear, you don’t have to worry! Just take a look at West Highlands!
West Highlands is a new construction single family home community, just minutes West of Midtown in Midtown West! This is a Brock Built community, and having toured these homes on numerous occasions, I can tell you….they are fabulous. Really….for the price of some Midtown Atlanta condominiums, you can have the space of a single family home, new construction, and yet be just a few minutes drive from all the Midtown Atlanta has to offer.
Spacious floor plans can offer a Master on the Main, or unique lofts for that home office space, and 3 to 4 bedrooms. Lots are not huge, but offer just enough outdoor space for entertaining, family activities…and not to much lawn to mow! Granite counters and stainless appliance packages will make your kitchen the focal point of your home!
West Highlands is adjacent to the future Westside Reservior Park, part of the Atlanta Beltline Project. Once completed, this park will be even larger than Piedmont Park! Here is a link to the MasterPlan for the Westside Reservior Park!
Tired of that hour long commute to the burbs of ATL? Why not kick the car (well almost) and instead of sitting in traffic, you could already be home, enjoying a glass of wine on your deck or patio at West Highlands!
