425 Old Homestead Trail, originally uploaded by jrumanes.

I recently showed this home to a client of mine. It didn’t fit her needs, but maybe it will fit yours!

This property is located in The Homestead, a small enclave of about 10 homes off Bell Road in the new Johns Creek. It sits on a 5 acre lake lot with it’s own dock. The lake is small and only has a few home which have access to it. The main house is just over 7000 square feet. It’s two full stories with a full, finished basement. There are 4 bedrooms and 5 and 2 half baths. The master is located on the main level which also features a large, professional office/study, a giant, vaulted dining room and large kitchen. The current owners do a lot of entertaining in this house!

The guest house has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths and a two-car garage.

The backyard is fenced and features a pool and spa and beautiful landscaped gardens.

This is definately a family house and one that your whole family will enjoy many holiday traditions for years to come! If you like the country feel of the current decor, you can move right in. With a few adjustment (and I mean a few) you can make this house your own.

10020 Campestral Court, St Marlo – $1,148,000

10020 Campestral Court, originally uploaded by jrumanes.

I previewed this beautiful new construction property in gated St Marlo recently. It’s got everything you would need in a luxury home and all of the current fixtures and finishes. It has a great lot ready for a pool and an unfinished basement, which are actually it’s only down falls. If it had those things, it wouldn’t have languished on the market for as long as it has.

The home has 5 bedroom, 5 and 2 half baths. Granite counters are thoroughout and bronze fixtures and faucets. The kitchen features Dacor appliances and a light-filled keeping room. There is a guest suite on the main level. But the large master is upstairs. There are two laundry rooms, one of which is off the master. The master also features a gigantic walk-in closet! The entire upstairs has hardwood floors. And their are permenant stairs up to the attic.

It’s a great house, a little on the smaller side for what you can get for a resale home in the same area. But it has everything. Like I said, it’s been on the market forever, so make them an offer and move right in!

UPDATED: 5985 Whitestone Lane – Laurel Springs, $1,150,000

5985 Whitestone Lane, originally uploaded by jrumanes.

This is my newest listing. It is a PHENOMINALLY built and maintained home located in Laurel Springs Country Club. Laurel Spring is a gated gold community with 24-hour manned security and located in the Johns Creek area of South Forsyth County. This is one of the fastest growing areas of Metro Atlanta.

The home has every feature you would like a luxury home should have! It is around 8000 square feet with a hardcoat stucco and stone exterior and a 4-car garage. Inside there are 5 bedrooms and 5 full baths (all rooms are suites) with a half bath on the main level. The large master is located on the main level along with a panelled study with coiffered ceiling and fireplace, two story foyer and great room, extremely large dining room, bar, laundry room, kitchen, keeping room and breakfast area. The keeping room is large and features a stone fireplace and vaulted, beamed ceiling.

In the finished basement there is a large gym, billard room, wine cellar with enough space for approximately 1500 bottles, cedar closet and enormous guest suite. There is also a large unfinished space which would be perfect for the ultimate home theater!

Outside is a pool and spa which is surrounded by a flagstone patio. From there and from the deck off the great room is an amazing view of the pond and golf course with other luxury homes up the hill in the distance. The yard is fully fenced and also features a wooded garden area ready for a playset.

This home is truely outstanding and will pass the inspection of even the pickiest Buyer! I look forward to showing it to you!

UPDATE:  Since originally listing this property in October the Seller has made a drastic reduction in the price from $1.299M to the current price of $1.15M ($150,000 off!)  They are also offering a free golf membership with the sale of the home.  This is an outstanding property and is truely move-in ready.  The lot is one-of-a-kind and the way the property sits on it takes advantage of the beauty of the lot and it’s stellar view.  You can’t find that at this price and you can’t duplicate it unless you built it from scratch yourself which also will cost you more than $1.15M.

3975 Little Falls Drive, Cumming – $574,900

3975 Little Falls Drive, originally uploaded by jrumanes.

This home is located in the Chattahoochee River Club. It is a beautiful community with many outdoor activities available including swimming, tennis, hiking trails and equestrian facilities. All of lots are large and your neighbors will not be right on top of you like you find in most neighborhoods in Atlanta.

The home is only 2 years old and was built by Hedgewood Homes. Personally, I love Hedgewood Homes! There are 5 bedrooms and 4 full baths and a full, unfinished basement. The backyard is really outstanding and perfect for kids and entertaining. The ceilings on the first and second floors are both very tall (along with the doors), probably 10+ feet. There is a 3-car garage.

This home is being sold through a relocation company, but the Sellers are still living there. They keep it impecably maintained.

I do think the current price is a little high. I see it selling for more like $550,000. There’s a lot of competition in the neighborhood.

210 Riverbirch Place, Johns Creek – $998,000

210 Riverbirch Place, Johns Creek – $998,000, originally uploaded by jrumanes.

This home has been on the market forever! It’s a 4 bedroom, 4 and 2 half bath Stucco hoe on a full unfinished basement. It’s only about 4900 square feet which seems much smaller from the inside. There are hardwoods throughout main and a small kitchen with granite countertops. The bedrooms are decent size, but nothing to right home about. The lot is 2.26 acres which seems like a lot, but it’s all downhill, literally. Pool plans available, but the lot is a total drop off in the back. It’s been on the market since August of 2006. The Sellers seem fairly intent on selling, but at this point, it will be at a price much lower than the current list of $998K.

On the up side, the home is located in very prestigious and exclusive Montclair in the new Johns Creek which is within the Northview School District.
