Thinking Outside the Box
MODERN REDUEX… Lola and Eric knew the house they had so patiently waited on was meant to be when they walked in and saw this simple, cute 1940s ‘gumdrop’ house. What’s more- it is in the heart of Mississippi/Williams, a neighborhood they are dutifully committed to, and ever so near Unthank Park!! Perfect for growing (ie: remodeling) into a two story family abode with a modern aesthetic, plenty of backyard access and a roof top terrace! Originally Lola and Eric were interested in building their modernist dream home from scratch in this same neighborhood. With our design, development, and real estate experience my husband, Ben Waechter (Atelier Waechter) and I were able to work together to help Lola and Eric come up with an affordable strategy- skip the cost of land, more expensive building permits, and other costs associated with new construction. Instead, Lola and Eric have chosen to spend less, have a shorter construction time frame, and take advantage of the existing footprint and solid foundation this 1940s house has to offer. Lola and Eric have their lender, architect and contractor poised and ready for a quick and clean close, remodel, and MOVE IN!!! If you are looking, or know someone who is looking, for a modern home within a budget (or not!) give us a call! THIS IS FUN!!!
