Howard Before/After

In September 2013 a house came on the market in Kirkwood that was unbelievable. a 1910 post-victorian mansion, that looked like it belonged in Inman Park, was nestled in right before the curve on Howard St headed towards College Ave. It was an investor’s dream…a beautiful home that is 105 years old with beautiful bones. It just needed love…a LOT of love. However, the price was too steep and the risk too high for any developers in that barely recovering market of 2013 to take this project on.

Jonathan & Callie had been thinking over an investment property in Florida and after a trip down there to investigate they decided they were not going to move forward. ENTER 242 HOWARD ST. Like a lighting strike Jonathan had a crazy idea that they should buy this tired old house. Callie was not as enthusiastic about the idea.

After a month of convincing, Jonathan took Callie to visit Howard and she caught the vision. The 100 year old newel posts, coffered 12ft ceilings, & 6 original fireplaces lead to an affection that was relentless.

One failed construction loan, a raid of every savings account they had, a year long permitting process, and 16 months of construction later the Rich family moved into Howard! The labor of absolute love & creativity developed into the home their kids would grow up in, that Jonathan and Callie would grow old in, and that JRICH Atlanta would operate out of beginning New Years Day 2015.

An absolute gift of God, Jonathan and Callie are extremely grateful for the opportunity to be stewards of this amazing piece of history and architecture and their hope is for it to become a place that can foster amazing community & hospitality for the next 105 years.

217 Hancock Before/After

217 Hancock is one of THE most amazing renovations…A once plain looking bungalow transformed into a Prairie style masterpiece!

“Prairie style” homes made their debut around the turn of the twentieth century and often associated with the design genius, Frank Lloyd Wright. This particular design style is known for horizontal flat lines and open floor plans. Although this design was originally intended to blend into the prairie landscape, the unique design definitely makes quite the impression.

As you look through these photos, take note of the attention to detail. There are many design elements that are just stunning. Enjoy!

234 Winter Before & After

We had the amazing opportunity to connect Jesse with POP Custom Homes who purchased the home for a price slightly above market value.

About a year ago we met Jesse. Jesse was helping his mother who was ill sell her home in Oakhurst so she could move to a new home and pay for the necessary care she needed. We had the amazing opportunity to connect Jesse with POP Custom Homes who purchased the home for a price slightly above market value. We eliminated any closing costs or commissions Jesse’s mom might have had to pay otherwise,& we all began work on the new historically inspired masterpiece at 234 Winter Ave in Oakhurst! The Original home was a single story 3 bed/1 bath bungalow with a front porch & granite columns. The new home took that inspiration of the granite columns & rocking chair front porch and accelerated it into an incredibly refined historically inspired new home. Some of the matchless historical details in this beautiful home now include solid core 5 panel stained interior doors w/ glass doorknobs, leaded antique glass windows, a custom stained glass address transom built in Baltimore, asymmetrical built-ins in the living room, & antique pocket barn doors in the master.

See some of the before & after pictures below and let us know if you want to view this beautiful new home…BRILLIANT!
