What a pleasure it is to list great properties such as this. This renovated 4/2.5 in Alpharetta’s Tuxford is great value for the area and in move-in ready condition! Click HERE for the full flyer.

Wonderfully Updated Tudor Inspired Traditional Home. Tuxford is well known in Alpharetta for having a true “neighborhood feel.” With over 370 homes, this incredibly desirable neighborhood has one of the more active homeowner’s associations in the area with events such as a 4th of July Parade, Halloween Parties, Tailgating, and Adults Night Out (ANO). The swimming pool is a hot spot for parents and kids alike, and the tennis courts are well maintained and popular as well. The “Tot Lot” located in the neighborhood provides a playground full of fun and a great meeting place. Living on Dunoon Drive is living at its best. The neighbors are friendly, and the cul-de-sac prevents through traffic. The convenient location between North Point Parkway and State Bridge/Old Milton make this neighborhood at large incredibly desirable and easy to get in and out of from multiple entrances. You will love being close to everything in Tuxford with easy access to the highways, byways, and the shopping and restaurants surrounding North Point Mall.

This home has been updated through the years and has just undergone a tasteful renovation which includes a new kitchen complete with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and a tile backsplash. You will absolutely love the openness of this floor plan as the kitchen and main living room come together for enjoyment. The wall of windows across the back of the home invite the light and give you a beautiful view of the trees and leaves, especially for seasonal color in the Fall. Downstairs you will also find a freshly updated half bath with new tile and vanity. You are going to love your new master bathroom, where you’ll find more updates including new granite countertops, new tile floor, and new fixtures. The 30-year architectural roof is new, as is the hot water heater. The A/C unit is newer, which is yet another thing that you won’t have to worry about on this well maintained home.

Space to live and space to grow. In addition to all these new features of the home, the full sized unfinished basement is waiting for your own custom finishes.

Brookhaven Relocations :: Relocating to Atlanta’s Brookhaven

Monday, September 7th, 2009

CBR002324

This year we have had the good fortune of working with several relocating clients who really came to Atlanta with no preconceived notions. They were utterly and completely dependant on US introducing them to our great city. What power! What responsibility! So, why not start with the area that we know best of all because it’s our own backyard?

Brookhaven is the northern neighbor of Buckhead. Historically, it’s just as rich as Buckhead, but unlike Buckhead, there is still an affordable side. If you are wanting to stay inside the perimeter with all the convenience and proximity you desire but perhaps without the price tag, Brookhaven could be for you. Historic Brookhaven really is an extension of Buckhead, and its location within the City of Altanta guarantees the same Buckhead schools, specifically Sarah Smith Elementary. The Brookhaven community is split between Fulton County on the southern side, which is considered City of Atlanta, and unincorporated DeKalb County on the northern side. Although the area is well known for the Brookhaven MARTA station, the area is built around Peachtree Road. The eastern side of DeKalb County Brookhaven is highlighted by the incredibly popular Ashford Park, Drew Valley, Brookhaven Heights, Brookhaven Fields, Brookhaven Gardens, and Hillsdale to name a few. Affordability is the name of the game. Despite more affordable intown homes, these great neighborhoods are also home to a blossoming infill phenomenon. Even despite a “valley” real estate market, we’re seeing more and more build starts, a good sign for the area and a good sign for the housing market in general. Dresden Drive off of Peachtree provides a new highly anticipated live/work/play development called Village Place Brookhaven, which adds to the buzz of the area thanks to restaurants like Library Coffee and Verde Taquieria. There are currently two other anchor restaurant spots available, and the community is in hopes for at least another casual grill and bar as Brookhaven continues its transition into a destination. Other great restaurants include Hudson Grill, Haven, and Valenzia. Just a mile north you will see another large live/work/play development going up, Town Brookhaven. This will bring a lot of the “big box” retail stores we have grown comfortable with. Brookhaven has come into its own in many ways, but still feels like a child trying on daddy’s large swallowing clothes. It has even more potential, and the relocating Atlanta resident will appreciate the history, the redevelopment, and the new additions of an area on the rise.

The Peters Company is well known for Brookhaven real estate. We live here. We work here. Our office is here. If you are looking for Brookhaven, you want the best, and if you want the best, you want The Peters Company.

The Peters Company has just listed this fantastic buy in Decatur! Click HERE for the full page two sided flyer.

You’ll want to see this beautiful home for the location in Laurel Hills, but you’ll stay for the condition. This three bedroom one and a half bath traditional 4-sided brick ranch is decorated with cottage charm, well cared for, and in move-in ready condition. You’ll love being so close to everything inside the perimeter with easy access to downtown Decatur, CDC, Emory University and Hospital, the VA Hospital, I-85, I-285, and Highway 78. Living in Decatur is a joy, but paying those taxes is not. You’ll appreciate living close to downtown Decatur and everything this great area presents, but without the higher City of Decatur taxes. Asbury Court is a wonderfully quiet cul-de-sac street with friendly neighbors.

One of the highlights of your new home includes the updated and cook friendly cottage kitchen with new sink, oven, stove top, tile backsplash, beautiful wooden butcher block countertops, recessed lighting, custom built desk, crown molding, renovated cabinets, and custom paint. The updated full bathroom is located in the center of the home, and the master bedroom includes a convenient private half bath. You’ll find that storage space and closet space is surprisingly large for a home built in this era. The whole home is networked, and the wiring for the entertainment center in the main living room has been hidden from plain view to allow for more living space. The rich and original hardwood floors accent the home’s charm and history.

The curb appeal of this Decatur gem is obvious from the moment you drive up. The sturdy brick exterior of the home is enhanced by the large, fully fenced lot with a second fenced in area at the rear of the property perfect for your pets. You’ll enjoy outdoor entertaining on the recently sealed deck as you look out on the beautiful blooming azaleas and well manicured green grass. On those rainy days, you’ll be glad you have a two car carport, which also includes a storage space/workshop that runs the width of the carport. Pride is the first thing that comes to mind when you see this home. It’s been meticulously maintained and updated through the years both inside and out. Welcome home!
