Great Room off of Kitchen

Sheet Rock and Floors!

It has been a busy week at Tippah Park.  Sheet rock was installed late last week and this week the wood floors and tile went in.  The house is really taking shape and you can now walk thru and get a real feel for how the place is going to look.

The family room looks huge with it’s fireplace and windows looking out to the back yard.

Upstairs they have installed the tile in the hall bath and in the master and it looks fantastic!

The outside is being painted and we should have pictures of that by Monday.

Tippah Park get’s it’s Groove On!

The fun is happening at 1234 Tippah Park.  The finishes are being chosen by Vanessa and Genevieve, two girls with style!   It didn’t take them long to decide on sleek espresso cabinetry for the kitchen and master bath.   They chose New Caledonia granite for the kitchen countertops and the master bath will have Carrara marble.

The hall bath has a warm chestnut finish on the maple cabinets.   They also picked the tile flooring for the baths.

The hardwood floors are going to be stained in place so they held off on that decision… and are hoping a buyer will want to choose the color themselves!

Tippah Park has Skin

Siding went up on 1344 Tippah Park last week! And it is looking good.  The hardi-plank siding looks great. The front porch is taking shape and the roof is on.  The place is taking shape.  JCB Urban is the builder and they are moving right along.  They say the house will be ready by October for the lucky new owners.

Tippah Park's New Neighbor

It’s been awhile….

The economy hit Tippah Park.  Even though Midwood is super cool and the best neighborhood in Charlotte, we couldn’t escape the “Lending Crisis”.   As a result , Midwood hasn’t had any new construction in about a year.  But now “We’re Baaaack”    And coming back strong!

New Construction in Plaza Midwood!

Tippah Park broke ground and a two story bungalow is coming along just fine.  Siding is on and the sheet rock is going in.  Developer, Bobby Drakeford is ready to start construction on the fourth house as soon as this one goes under contract!  Which shouldn’t be too long with it’s terrific new floor plan.

If you ask a Midwoodite what they like about their neighborhood, you usually hear the same thing – “You can Walk”, Walk, Walk Walk! To just about everything you need to get to.” So they weren’t surprised see the NY Times write about “walkability”.

“A study published in August by C.E.O.’s for Cities, a group of urban redevelopment advocates, found that in many ways, the street corner beats the cul de sac. It looked at the sales of 90,000 homes in 15 markets to estimate how much value was associated with something called the Walk Score. Using a 100-point scale, this score rates the number of destinations, including libraries, parks and coffee shops, within walking distance of a home.

The scores for America’s 40 largest cities can be found at Walkscore.com by typing in an address. For instance, the White House scores a near-perfect 97: a “walker’s paradise,” the Web site says. Another famous home, the Playboy mansion in Los Angeles, rates a 25. (You can get lost in Walkscore.com for hours; the “Brady Bunch” house, the exemplar of 1970s suburban life, scores an above-average 75.)

The study found that houses with above-average Walk Scores commanded a premium. It was as much as $30,000 in cities like Charlotte, N.C., Chicago, Sacramento and San Francisco, wrote Joe Cortright, the study’s author and an economist at Impresa, a consulting firm in Portland, Ore.”…..

Tippah Park’s Walkscore is a “very walkable” 72 !

Plaza Midwood’s Tippah Park would like to welcome Justin and Samantha Carpenter to their new home! The Carpenters chose to buy at Tippah Park in Midwood because of the quality and detail that the builder, JCB Urban, puts into the construction and design of their product… Not to mention that the Carpenters are now within walking distance to tons of local “mom and pop” restaurants, shops, and bars, that Plaza Midwood has to offer. A special thanks to their buyer’s agent, Kelly Blandford at Helen Adams Realty, who brought them to the Tippah Park development in Midwood. We know they will love their home and love living in Plaza Midwood.

Sunny Days Bring Buyers Out! January’s beautiful break in the weather brought out the buyers and Tippah Park put both of their constructed homes Under Contract!

Sales Associate, Genevieve Williams said  ”As soon as the sun came out, we had several showings, and two lucky buyers took advantage of these exciting deals.”   The marketing team expects the tax incentive to bring out even more buyers in the next few weeks.  ”If a buyer wants to take advantage of the $8000 credit they need to put the home under contract by April 30th and close by June 30th.” The builder, JCB Urban  is moving as fast as he can, but that means contracts really need to be written early March if they want to be able to have their new dream home finished in time to get the credit.”  Deborah Cox emphasizes.  ”Now is not the time to be sitting on the fence if you want to take advantage of these prices. “

Developer Bobby Drakeford is breaking ground on the next two foundations and framing will soon be coming up out of the ground.  For more information about the two new homes give us a call at Savvy + Co. Real Estate at  704-330-8326.
