Project Feature: Double Duty Duplex at La France Walk
Recently, Level Craft Construction has had the opportunity to finish out the final phase at the charmingly unique community of La France Walk! Situated in the heart of Edgewood, this wonderful community is the embodiment of everything that makes Intown Atlanta great including walkability, convenience, and community. Our team was honored with the opportunity to showcase our construction skills by building nine of the 24 beautiful multi-family homes within the community.
Sold as separate units, the first duplexes of this final phase include residences 201 and 203. Like all homes at La France Walk, this duplex is bursting with curb appeal and farmhouse flair that includes white siding, board-and-batten detailing, tin roof accents, rustic wood detailing and oversized farmhouse-style windows. Past the double-decker front porch of 201, exceptional modern farmhouse features continue throughout the main home. A charming kitchen with light gray cabinetry boasts built-in appliances, pendant lighting, deep kitchen sink, subway tile backsplash, and an abundance of counter space for everyday cooking needs. Off the kitchen a door leads to a beautiful outdoor living area which is highlighted by an elevated brick patio ideal for enjoying the beautiful Fall weather.
In the living room, the large windows let sunlight shine through while a wood-framed, gray brick fireplace and built-in shelving offer a cozy gathering space within the home. Connecting the living room and kitchen is a bright and open dining space ideal for meals with family or friends, as well as a sitting area or nook ideal for your bar cart or buffet.
Other notable features within the primary residence include a spacious owner’s suite with a modern ensuite bath that offers an oversized glass walk-in shower with all white tiling. Two additional bedrooms and a third-story media room complete the interior of this beautiful home.
Sold independently and with it’s own private entrance, unit 203 (above) is a quaint one-bedroom studio attached to Unit 201 by a shared firewall. This space showcases a similar farmhouse exterior with a welcoming brick patio entry. Through the wooden front door, visitors are greeted by an airy, open-concept layout with a galley kitchen filled with expansive gray-colored cabinets. The upstairs bedroom provides a relaxing retreat with lofty ceilings and a walk-in custom closet designed to suit all organizational needs.
One feature we love about these homes are the combination of contrasting white and wood details throughout. While simple, this stunning color palette creates an elegant look that exudes modern farmhouse charm.
Other unique features found in our homes at La France Walk include solar panels on the roof of two homes (Units 200 and 202), as well as elevators for aging in place!

Level Craft is Featured on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio
Listen to the podcast episode below, courtesy of Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio.
We are so honored to join Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio on an episode of All About Real Estate Radio! Please read below for a full rundown of the episode.
Joined by co-hosts Carol Morgan and Todd Schnick, the group discusses the phases of how a Level Craft Construction project works, where it builds and more.
Level Craft Construction is a full-service design and build firm. This means it helps homeowners from start to finish on new home projects. Level Craft only builds inside the Atlanta perimeter with a focus on Decatur, Oakhurst, Virginia Highlands, Morningside, Druid Hills, Emory, Midtown and Avondale Estates.
With over 20 years of experience, Level Craft has been creating beautiful spaces since 1996 and is a 100% woman-owned business. Van Lear and her business partner Debbie Hollonbeck both have backgrounds in art. Being a woman-owned business with an art background helps with the overall aesthetic of Level Craft homes. Not only are these homes built well, but they also look fantastic and take smaller details into consideration. Where to store the stroller, dog toys and hairdryer are all things brought up in planning, along with bigger impact items.
““Women definitely have an advantage in many ways. One of the things that is important when building or renovating a new home is communication. I think females do communicate a little bit better. Homeowners need to be educated along the way, and sometimes it can be very emotional. We have a lot of processes in place to help with communication””
Level Craft works in phases. The initial phase consists of homebuyers meeting with Van Lear and Hollonbeck. During the first meeting, everything from budget and time frame to design needs and wish lists is discussed. After that, architectural plans are decided on and finalized.
The second phase begins when the experts at Level Craft schedule a subcontractor meeting at the new home site. More planning and bidding take place until the best price is found. At this point, the total cost is decided and approved. Then, a contract gets signed!
The third phase is short and sweet. During this step of the home buying process, a building permit is pulled by a member of Level Craft. If the future homeowner would rather hire an expeditor themselves, that is also an option.
Phase four is when the real fun begins. During this penultimate step, the building begins! Level Craft assists with all selections including paint, design details and finishes. The homeowner gets to choose every detail throughout this phase with the guidance of the Level Craft experts. The Level Craft Construction team is also onsite every day for inspections, management, materials, walkthroughs and more!
The final phase consists of one last walk through to make sure everything is finished to the exact specifications of the homeowner and their initial plan. After everything is confirmed, a quick and thorough cleanup ensues, and the house is handed over!
““We don’t try to use jargon that our homeowners don’t understand. We explain everything to them, and we actually become a kind of family. Most of these builds last between six to nine months, and after that they have a one-year warranty, so we pop up into their lives again! We want to have a relationship with them that is a friendship, as well as a business relationship.””
Throughout the entire building process, the Level Craft Construction team is there for guidance and support. They are also transparent and upfront about any costs, delays and bumps in the road. This means when a homeowner gets the keys to their brand-new custom home, there are no surprises!
