Huffington Home for Sale (or How it was All Meant to Be)

You know the expression, it wasn’t meant to be? I’m not sure how many times people kindly consoled this Huffington, who sold her house with a plan to move in to a high rise condo in midtown Atlanta last year, only to have her plans thwarted by the condo building falling victim to the economy and going in to foreclosure.

So there we were, a little family of four, with no place to live! At the time, it was hard to imagine what was meant to be. Luckily, our fabulous realtor, Kevin Grieco, happened to know of a place to rent, and we quickly and gratefully poured into a pretty four-story townhome just north of the city. It was the perfect solution for us and we liked it so much that when the owners offered to sell it to us, we were extremely tempted. But deep down, we are city people and had set our sights on high rise living in the heart of Buckhead. We lived in the townhome happily for a year, and then when the right high rise condo came on the market, we decided it really was meant to be. And so reluctantly, we left our townhome and greeted the new year in a brand new condo.

All this to say that the pretty townhome where we lived for a year is now available for sale. Since we have no financial interest in helping it sell (other than dinner with our realtor, which we’ll probably have anyway because he’s turned in to a friend!), we’ve decided to use this little space to promote the home which is undoubtedly the best deal in all of Atlanta. Check out the pictures of this lovely, four story, 4 bedroom, 4 ½ bath, 10 foot ceiling home that overlooks a pool and a clubhouse, and is conveniently located next to GA 400, I-285 and is IOP (inside of perimeter!), and then scroll down to the realtor link and just be careful not to fall off your chair when you see the price!

The family room and kitchen table, where we spent much of our time.

Although I’m not usually a fan of dark cabinets, this kitchen was delightful to cook in and the cabinets blended beautifully with the dark floors (that look lighter than they are in these photos). And I loved the openness of the room and the view from the kitchen.

We were spoiled by a cozy fireplace that turned on with the flick of a switch.

We loved the master bedroom, especially with the light that poured in on sunny days (unfortunately not the day Kevin took the photos).

There is another pretty bedroom, but those of you familiar with our favorite gallery dog Scurry, will be shocked to hear that she confused the bed for her potty the day Kevin took the photos. So, that bedroom (which overlooks the pool) was not photographed.

The entire fourth floor is a dream teen suite – making returning to a college dorm just that much harder!

There is also Huffington Hubby’s study, which was not dressed for photography!

We hope that one of our nice blog readers will be the lucky person to discover and fall in love with this townhome. The owners are lovely and they treated us so well for the year that we rented from them. And we can’t say enough good things about our realtor Kevin. So we’d like to think that if we can help this pretty home fall in to the right hands of a happy new owner, it really was all meant to be.

Tata,

AH
