Solution: cut the width in half and charge $260,000 [ link to www.ajc.com (secure)] Alan Cablik led the way from the one-car garage up some stairs and out onto a backyard large enough to walk a dog – so long as it’s only a couple steps – then back into the house and up a flight of stairs to the kitchen, living room and dining room. Then, more steps.“I had a workman lose 10 pounds working on these,” he said, heading up toward the third floor where he pointed out the two bedrooms. It’s a townhome, with 1,500 square feet of living space. It’s 12 feet wide and four stories high, one of 16 built by Cablik Enterprises on Memorial Drive at the south end of Kirkwood. It’s listed at $260,000, half the price of the other Cablik townhomes nearby. But then, it’s also half the width.“We took our usual design and just cut it in half,” said Cablik, the company president.It’s not a gimmick, but a gamble on economics and demography. Maybe it’s the future of affordable home ownership in Atlanta. |
