First up is 1541 Brianwood Drive, a 3 bedroom/3 bath townhouse in the Druid Hills area.  At 1,944 square feet and 3 levels, this place is huge!  Fully renovated and updated you’ll love the dark wood cabinets, doors and moldings in the kitchen which offset nicely the stainless steel appliances.  Even the light colored granite counter tops have a dark speckle that matches.   Chair moldings bring the dark wood theme into the breakfast nook.  The kitchen has so much cabinet space that the owners used the glass fronted pantry as a china cabinet.

The home has a separate dining room, family room with built in shelves surrounding the fireplace and a wonderful sun room with multiple sky lights.  The master bedroom is spacious and has a separate area with built-in drawers.  The 2nd bedroom is large enough to be another master bedroom and there is still a good sized 3rd bedroom.  A large garage with lots of storage space completes this great town house.

If you’re looking for an individual home, 210 Grogans Lake Point, in Sandy Springs could be just what you’re looking for!   The 4 bedrooms and 31/2 baths comprise only a portion of the 3,834 square feet of this home but if you’ve always dreamed of having a bedroom that is a sanctuary from the rest of the world, you MUST see this one!  With a fireplace and a closet larger than many bedrooms and has its own closet.  The master suite’s bath is beyond ‘spa’ quality.

This home has a designer kitchen with a lovely and bright breakfast area, a family room, living room and a study.  A separate dining area and huge screened in porch completes the main level.  The terrace level is so large as to be a complete separate living space.  Use it for entertaining, a kids’ play space and office or whatever; there is also a fully finished  exercise room.

In the back of the house, off of the screened porch, is a fabulous deck with stairs continuing down to the patio off the basement.  As if all that isn’t enough, the community comes complete with a pool, tennis courts, a clubhouse, a community gathering area and a private lake!  This is home everyone must see.
