Model Home at Kennesaw's Chestnut Farms Now Open to the Public

Paran Homes Unveils Professionally Decorated Model Home to Represent Its Stunning Collection of New Construction Homes Priced from the $400’s

Duluth, Ga, May 18, 2018 –  Serving as a “slice of life” for visitors to Chestnut Farms in Kennesaw, the professionally merchandised model home at the West Cobb community is now open to the public. Merchandised by Tracy Cook of Design Etc., the home represents one of the builder’s most popular floor plans – the stately and sophisticated Manchester, showcasing over 3,600 square feet of living space including four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms at the heart of the Kennesaw neighborhood.

“Our model homes set the stage for homebuyers,” said Paran Homes’ President, Michael Rosenberg. “As they step through the front door and travel through each room, we want them to have an immersive experience where they can envision their family gathering around the dining room table for the holidays or sharing stories about the day’s events around the massive island in the kitchen. When they see the upstairs media space, we want them to imagine their kids happily playing there or knocking out their homework before dinnertime. And when they stroll through the expansive master suite, it’s our hope that they can see themselves beginning and ending each day in that space as part of their own personal ‘happily ever after.’ Tracy has done an amazing job painting a picture of what life might be like if one lived in Chestnut Farms.”

The designer drew inspiration from the home itself when planning her design, which features elements of white on white and soft hues juxtaposed against dark wood floors, textured upholstery and dramatic accent pieces. Seeking a “less is more” approach, she endeavored to make the design as functional as it is fetching with a homework station in the media room and a drop station near the garage for family members to drop their book bags, laptop bags and purses while charging their smartphones for the next day.

“There is a lot of natural light in this home – it’s an inviting, happy place,” recalled Cook. “I wanted to keep the look fresh, clean and uncluttered. We all have so much clutter in our daily lives. This home represents the ideal we all want for our own lives – a clutter-free, tranquil, joyful space to raise a family.”

Cook describes the design as vintage meets modern with distressed wood pieces, antique elements and thoroughly current upholstered furnishings. Some of her personal favorites include the stylish dining room, home office with partners desk and reclaimed shutter as an eye-catching wall accent, and serene master suite.

“I love all of Paran Homes’ special unexpected, practical touches, like the soft-close drawers in the kitchen, abundance of storage spaces throughout, generously sized bedrooms, upstairs laundry room that’s accessible from the master closet and spacious covered back porch with fireplace. My absolute favorite element of this home is the must-see oversized shower in the master bath. It’s like everyday is a spa day!”

The Manchester is just one of seven floor plans available at Chestnut Farms – which represents a collection of 36 new construction homes priced from the low $400’s. Conveniently located near I-75, Chestnut Farms’ residents will enjoy convenience to a wealth of recreational outlets like Lake Allatoona and Kennesaw Mountain, upscale shopping destinations such as The Avenue West Cobb and Town Center Mall, and a number of highly revered schools. Homeowners in the Kennesaw community also enjoy the Main Street charm of its historic downtown area, low Cobb County taxes and close proximity to SunTrust Park – the new home of the Atlanta Braves. There’s also the promise of countless family-friendly events hosted at the iconic Marietta Square, Downtown Kennesaw and Downtown Acworth.

In addition to Chestnut Farms and its two other West Cobb communities at Silver Springs Village and Sweetwater Landing, Paran Homes has a presence in another seven new home communities throughout the Atlanta area.

At the end of the day, they could walk away with a closing date for a move-in ready home or a contract to launch construction on their new Paran Home.”

Limited Opportunities Remain at Two Popular Metro Atlanta Communities

Paran Homes’ Wheatfields Reserve and Silver Springs Village are Nearing Closeout

Duluth, Ga, May 4, 2018 –  Located at opposite ends of Atlanta, both Wheatfield Reserve and Silver Springs Village have really struck a chord with Atlanta homebuyers. Although they offer different products and appeal to slightly different audiences in different areas of town, a couple of qualities they share is that both communities feature beautifully imagined, expertly crafted homes by Paran Homes, of which only a handful of opportunities remain in inventory.

“We have been thrilled by the reception Wheatfields Reserve and Silver Springs Village received from the moment we broke ground,” said Michael Rosenberg, President of Paran Homes. “It’s clear that Atlanta homebuyers are hungry for new homes that feature all the bells and whistles, but not the price tag to match. At Paran Homes, we consider it our mission to deliver homes of unsurpassed quality at a surprising value. The success of these two communities just goes to prove that we’re definitely on the right track. If they hurry, a handful of lucky homebuyers will have an opportunity to live in one of these truly distinctive neighborhoods.”

Wheatfields Reserve: Located in Gwinnett County’s City of Grayson off of Highway 20 – not far from Tribble Mill Park and the upscale shops and restaurants of the Shoppes at Webb Ginn, Wheatfields Reserve offers resort-quality amenities and single-family homes by Paran Homes priced from the High 200’s. The sales center is located at 1504 Stargrass Drive, and hours are Monday – Tuesday: By Appointment Only, Wednesday- Saturday: 10:00am- 6:00pm, and Sunday 1:00 – 6:00pm. For more information, prospective homebuyers are invited to call 770-513-8004.

Silver Springs Village: Situated in Cobb County’s City of Powder Springs, Silver Springs Village is a 55+ Community that offers its residents a lovely collection of two-story cottages priced from the low $200’s. Poised at the edge of the 61-mile long Silver Comet Trail, Silver Springs Village seeks to put the “active” back into Active Adult with a community pool, clubhouse, involved HOA and endless opportunities for adventure just beyond the community at Kennesaw Mountain, Lake Allatoona, SunTrust Park and more. The sales center is located at 4552 Silver Springs Blvd., and hours are Monday- Saturday: 10:00-6:00 and Sunday: 11:00-6:00. For more information, prospective homebuyers are invited to call 678-905-6984.

HomeAid Care Day at Direction House

Volunteers make major improvements at home for homeless veterans

On April 20, HomeAid Atlanta partnered with the Mortgage Bankers Association of Georgia’s (MBAG) Atlanta Chapter for a HomeAid Care Day.  HomeAid Care Days are “done in a day” workdays providing free-of-charge maintenance and repairs for nonprofit organizations serving people experiencing homelessness in Atlanta. 

Direction House is a transitional housing program for male veterans as they work to overcome addiction issues. Founded by Graylin Covington, a veteran who received help from HomeAid Service Provider partner, Clifton Sanctuary Ministries, years ago. Direction House provides housing and guidance for up to 10 men as they work to rebuild their lives.

Volunteers completed much needed landscaping and gardening tasks at Direction House, including building and planting two raised garden beds, clearing out overgrown bamboo, rebuilding a broken fence, removing a tree stump, planting two flower gardens, and general clean-up.  The workday generated a savings of approximately $4,500 for Direction House, funds that will be used to help meet the immediate needs of the residents.  Home builders Vincent Longo of Vincent Longo Custom Builders and James MacDowell of Unique Homes and Renovations volunteered, providing leadership throughout the day.  Ross Davies of Super-Sod provided gardening expertise, including selecting patriotic-themed flowers and plants in honor of the veterans at Direction House.  BMC provided a discount on lumber for the garden beds.

"I enjoyed and appreciate the work performed at the HomeAid Care Day at Direction House.  The guests at the house are excited about the flowers and they are anxiously waiting for the garden to produce.  I certainly appreciate all that you do," said Graylin Covington, Founder and Director of Direction House. 

This was HomeAid’s second Care Day with MBAG. Following this Care Day, Alexandra Radford, MBAG Atlanta Chapter Director said, "I love being a part of HomeAid Care Days. I love physically working on projects and knowing I’m really making a difference in the lives of homeless veterans.”

HomeAid Atlanta, founded in 2001, is a nonprofit organization that builds new lives for homeless families and individuals through housing and community outreach. HomeAid works in partnership with the building industry, as well as community building organizations, to assist people experiencing homelessness. To date, HomeAid Atlanta has completed over 100 housing, remodel and care day projects at locations that serve victims of domestic violence, teen mothers, veterans and more.
