The Astoria Says Hello to Multigenerational Living with the Driscoll Family

2011-04-12T10:03:00.012-04:00

Multigenerational living might seem outdated to today’s generation, but many will be surprised to know it is a growing trend in the United States. According to a Pew Research Center American community survey, 47% of Americans live in a multigenerational living situation. In an interesting new twist Atlanta luxury condos, The Astoria at The Aramore, are also taking part in this trend.

In 2009, Bob and Lee Driscoll downgraded from their large Buckhead home for a luxury, less maintenance home at The Astoria. Two years later, the couple welcomed their son, Matt and Lee’s mother, Isobel Cooper.

Mrs. Cooper came to live at The Astoria after her husband passed away. Although she was capable of living on her own, her inability to drive lead to concerns from Bob and Lee. After some debate, they decided Mrs. Cooper would move to the Astoria. Living in her own unit, she has her own privacy and life but is only a short elevator ride away if anything is needed.

“This is much better than having her live with us or in assisted living or a facility for the elderly,” Lee Driscoll said. “She has her privacy and her own lifestyle and so do we; but if she has issues or concerns, we’re right here. I can check on her or take her shopping and she come to dinner and we don’t have to drive her home.”

Matt Driscoll, who happened to be in the market for a new Midtown condo, convenient for running his online collectible bookstore, agreed wholeheartedly with his parents that The Astoria had everything he was looking for in a new home and more. With multiple floorplans and custom features, no two homes are the same in this Peachtree Battle highrise.

“It’s a great situation, we each have our own space and our separate lives but we are close enough to rely on each other when need it,” says Matt Driscoll.

Located “in the living room of Atlanta,” The Astoria is within walking distance of some of the best restaurants, shops and other entertainments the city has to offer. And with reduced prices of up to $500,000, living in The Astoria is now more affordable than ever.

Sovereign's success comes at a time when Buckhead faces historically high class A office vacancy rates.

In addition to their recent commercial success, Sovereign has also seen residential growth with the sale of two the luxury condos during the third quarter, including one of the Penthouse units. This new home will be the highest residence in the city of Atlanta.

It's wonderful news to everyone in the real estate industry that Sovereign is doing so well. Let's all hope that this is the beginning of an economic turnaround and soon we will begin to see vacant buildings full and homes sold again.

Affordable Atlanta Condos at the Lofts at 5300

2009-08-31T09:20:00.003-04:00

The Lofts at 5300 are unlike any other condominium in Atlanta because of their unique zoning regulations placing them in Chamblee’s Mid City District. The district is zoned for both residential and commercial use, making it the perfect location for residents to enjoy a live, work, play lifestyle.

Residents of the Atlanta loft condos enjoy an easy walk to numerous neighborhood eateries, antique shops, art galleries, and coffee shops. Additionally, the unique location is conveniently situated near the newly converted biking and walking trail. The trail, once an old railroad, includes more than two acres of a linear park. The trail features brick pavers, an observation deck, benches and beautiful landscaping. Everyone, including bikers, dog walkers, and active runners can enjoy the beautiful and quite retreat the trail affords them.

The live, work, play lifestyle enjoyed by residents at the Lofts at 5300 is made even easier with the Chamblee MARTA station right across the street. Additionally, the lofts are close to Lenox and Phipps Plaza so shoppers have nearby access to some of Atlanta’s finest stores. Such a convenient location means residents have the freedom to leave their car at home while they spend an evening or day out on the town.

These original works span the elevator lobbies of floors 28 through 47, each depicting a metamorphosing segment of a continuous tree and varied specimens of birds. This installation pays tribute to Atlanta's deep roots and cultural evolution.

Todd hopes that each new installation will amaze residents and visitors to this already unique building. In 2008, Todd procured and implemented Sovereign's principle art collection seeking various works from renowned artists including Deborah Butterfield and REM lead singer Michael Stipe.

North Georgia Golf Course Designed by Denis Griffiths

2008-09-20T23:20:00.003-04:00

Blairsville Golf Community set to open Summer 2009

Golf course designer, Denis Griffiths has designed approximately 100 golf courses internationally, including in England, Spain, South Africa, Japan and many other countries. Recently Griffiths became the only American to have ever designed a course in St. Andrews and now he brings that Scottish experience to Old Union, a course in the North Georgia mountains that features an obvious Scottish flair. Old Union is located at Blairsville's newest community, Owen Glen.

Griffiths has been designing courses for 38 years and the mountain setting, whether it be in Colorado or North Georgia, is his favorite type of geography. His philosophy is to design the best course with minimum natural disturbance. Old Union weaves beautifully through the natural meadows, creeks and woods. A valley location offers the relatively flat land that is preferred for designing golf courses and also provides the rare opportunity to play the course on foot or by cart. The course features several natural water features including Ivy Log Creek which meanders perfectly throughout the course and adds to the beauty of the natural surroundings.

Owen Glen, developed by Ivy Log Development, will feature one- to three-acre home sites. A mix of estate home sites, including some golf course sites, will be released in Phase One. Sales of the initial 26 home sites are underway and incentives such as a one year golf membership will be included. Home sites at Owen Glen are priced from the $70,000s. For more information on Owen Glen, call 770-659-2942 or visit www.OwenGlen.com.

Floorplan changes included moving a laundry room and adding a workout room, creating a custom library with floor to ceiling built-in bookshelves, and one master suite and laundry room is separated to create a private guest suite. With all of these alterations, the complete Pachuras townhome features two master suites, three and a half bathrooms, a library, workout room, two laundry rooms and an elevator. In addition, each floor of the Pachura’s four-story townhome features a loggia with breathtaking views of Vinings, Buckhead and downtown Atlanta. They have decorated their luxury home with lots of different textures and red and yellow tones to create a simple French Chateau feel. The Pachuras worked with Kairos to create a customized home that meets their wants and needs, and so can you!
