Natural Kudzu Removal in Buckhead and throughout Atlanta – The Secret is in the Sheep!

thunsicker — Tue, 07 May 2013 14:19:57 +0000

My son and I recently drove through Buckhead and saw an unusual site – a small herd of sheep and goats grazing along in a private yard on Ridgewood. We were both enthralled and pulled over to see what was going on!

A small herd of sheep and goats on Ridgewood Drive in Buckhead! They hired the herd to eat all the ivy off of the 2 acres. It was so cool.

This yard had about two acres of overgrowth to clear, and the folks at EWE-niversally Greeen were called in rather than using harsh chemicals. The flock of sheep and goats, along with a couple of very proective sheep dogs spent a couple of weeks at the Ridgwood home. Protected by the temporary fencing and daily visits from the herder himself, the sheep and goats were left to do what they do best – eat!

My son is holding a baby that was born 6 hours before he held him. We are going to have to move to a farm sometime soon. I want that baby lamb he’s holding.

Dogs come with the sheep to protect them from coyotes. The dogs are NOT friendly they are there to protect the sheep, so beware. Also I found out that coyotes have a hard time seeing black sheep and goats.

EWE-niversally Green was featured in an article in the AJC – read it by clicking here.

Also, their website posts some pretty dramatic before and after photos like these:

Before the herd arrived – a private backyard in Atlanta.

And the after shot – wow! No green remains!

Multi-Million Dollar Design and Finishes for Under $1 Million

thunsicker — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:39:18 +0000

This home for sale in Smyrna/Vinings is located at 2095 Cooper Lake Drive. Offered by Tina Hunsicker of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty. Click this image for additional photos and more information.

The finishes and quality of the home for sale at 2095 Cooper Lake Drive are those more fitting to a multi-million dollar home. However, this home is priced under a million and still boasts high-end appliances, a built-in ice maker, a custom floorplan, and simple access to interstates and Buckhead is at the tip of your fingers.

The ice maker’s home is in the Butler’s Pantry – a lovely prep and storage area between the formal dining room and the kitchen.

The stately presence of this home is best experienced while sitting on the grand front porch. And just inside the double front door is a large entry hall leading to both a formal dining room and coffered ceiling living room. The dining room is filled with natural light, a fulfillment of the original plan from Norwood Architects.

A coffered ceiling in the living room is just one example of the upscale finishes in this home for sale in Smyrna/Vinings. Offered by Tina Hunsicker of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty. Click this image for additional photos and more information.

Gleaming hardwood floors flow throughout the home – from the dining room through the butler’s pantry (home of the icemaker) to the incredible kitchen. The large central island resembles a piece of heirloom furniture and provides ample prep space as well as room for company to pull up a stool to the counter. Many other upscale amenities are found here including a Viking range and stove-side pot-filler.

A beautiful kitchen is the perfect setting to make beautiful memories in this wonderful home. Offered by Tina Hunsicker of Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty. Click this image for additional photos and more information.

With so many special rooms in this house to experience, the current owners wanted to make sure accessibility was never a problem…..meaning there’s an elevator that accesses all three levels. One of the best rooms to find while using the elevator is the interior family room – kind of like a sitting room for the private areas of the house. This room is located on the 3rd level in the middle of all of the family bedrooms. In the past, this room was used for middle-of-the night feedings, and also includes a refrigerator and sink for drinks or a coffee bar.

An elevator! Now we’ve seen everything!

As you might expect in a home of this quality, the master bedroom has ample space and a unique barrel-vaulted ceiling. Additionally, a soaring ceiling in the master bathroom creates an airy feel among the raised double vanities, soaking tub, and large walk in closet.

Barrel vaulted ceilings are unique and fun to look at – and especially cool in a master bedroom. Click on the image for additional photos and more information about this home for sale.

A gated neighborhood is rare find in Cobb County, and it, along with a private street, is found here at Holden Estates. For metro Atlanta owners who travel, this secure environment is key. And traveling from this location is a breeze – literally about a minute to I-285 (west of I-75) and about 20 minutes to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. Closer to home, you’re just a stroll away from Oakdale Park, and less than a mile away to One Ivy Walk – home of many great restaurants and boutiques.

6 bedrooms, 1 half bath, 5 full baths
Offered at $975,000
2095 Cooper Lake Drive SE
Smyrna, GA 30080

Solid Wood Garage Doors Add Appeal and Value to Your Home

thunsicker — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 12:23:35 +0000

I have had people ask me over the years about my garage doors. I have solid wood carriage style doors and I believe from the feedback I get that they make a real impact on a home.

(I really dislike when the doors face the front of the house, but unfortunately mine do, there really isn’t a reason why as I have a wide lot which could accomodate side entry but that’s what they were building when my house was constructed. To cure the ugliness of it I added quality wood doors with windows and hardware. )

I just happened across a website that has great pictures and ideas to put barn style doors inside as well which many of my friends have now as it’s very in-style.

Take a look at their website and consider upgrading your doors if they are visible as I think it will add value next time you go to sell your home. I custom ordered mine at Home Depot, but it seems there are lots of speciality places now.
