New Listing: Piedmont Fixer Ready for Your Ideas and Elbow Grease
If you have been waiting for a place where you can utilize your great ideas and dreams, then now is the time and this is the place. This home has been in the same family for such a long time. It is tired and in need of much attention. It does have some great pieces and parts. The Mediterranean style is welcoming, and part of the architectural richness of Piedmont.
There are hardwood floors and a fireplace. The floor plan could use an update for the modern family, but you will want to save the front windows and other features. Imagine when you are thru remodeling – a much larger 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bathroom home with a modern eat-in kitchen/family room. This “Great Room” will be the heart of the home. There is also a guest bedroom/office on the main floor.
The question is whether to go up and add new bedrooms and baths, or to go down and excavate for additional space. No matter what you choose, you will want a family/rumpus room on the lower floor with a huge opening into the sunny yard.
The yard is really special. It is on a very gentle downslope with full Southern exposure. It’s spacious and has plenty of room for gardeners and play with friends and family. You will spot many fun plants in the garden. My wife pointed out about 10 different types of roses, lemons and magnolia, iris’, lilies and other spring and summer bulbs. The yard backs- up to the athletic fields and has such a nice orientation.
I’m sure you have many ideas about your ideal home in Piedmont. Here is your chance to have a relatively affordable start with a lot and location that can be the perfect backdrop to your new home. Bring your plans, dreams and elbow grease and get started on making your tomorrow a reality.
