About the host

Hosted by Janis Kraft

Host profile image

I'm a Realtor in Peachtree City, Ga., which is a south Atlanta Metro town. I've been selling real estate for the past 15 years and thought it'd be fun to do a renovation. Prior i spent near 20 years at Delta Air Lines in customer service, marketing ,and sales. I've enjoyed traveling and meeting new people

Why they chose this property

I love this gem, it was certainly a diamond in the rough when I found it several years ago. I say "I rescued" it. Over the last several years, I've lifted it out of the sand and have been working on it on and off between real estate clients. Repurposing as much material as I could. I think it brings character and warmth to this cottage.

What makes this property unique

I think you'll enjoy the front porch which almost always brings a cool breeze and those who come for our famous fishing opportunities should like the outdoor pavilion with a commercial sink for catch of the day.
