BOB’S STORY
“My uncle would take older homes and put them on pontoons and float them to Sausalito, where we’d fix them up, and he’d rent them out. They were houseboats, but they weren’t homes that actually moved,” laughed Beardslee.” “That actually got me started in the remodeling business.”Later, Beardslee went to work for a man he describes as a “true craftsman” who did everything from wiring and plumbing to framing, finish trim and cabinetry. When his mentor died from cancer five years later, Beardslee decided to strike out on his own, first remodeling houses and later building them.
Thirteen years later, in 1995, he and his family decided to make the move from California to Atlanta. The Beardslees chose Atlanta not only for the career opportunities it presented for Bob, but also for its quality of life. The family chose the beautiful Towne Lake Hills subdivision for their new home and lived with relatives for several months while Bob designed and built the house. He did a lot of the work himself, including all of the trim and the cabinetry. Their Towne Lake Hills home combines an open floor plan, lots of windows and tall ceilings – indicative of the Beardslees’ California roots – with a traditional exterior that fits right into the Georgia landscape.
Seven years later after settling into Atlanta and Towne Lake Hills and loving it, the Beardslees made another move to BridgeMill, a stunning development in Cherokee County, where Bob built his signature homes from 1998 to 2008. Homes priced from 500k to over 2 million. Bob is currently living in the Blue Ridge Georgia area building mountain dream homes. Bob is also an award winning builder in “The Street of Dreams” and “The Atlanta Home Expo” winning best of show awards in both.”
