Rare End-Unit Retreat in Heritage at Roswell

Tucked among the trees in the sought-after John Wieland community of Heritage at Roswell, this picture-perfect end-unit brick townhome is one of only three extra-wide units in the neighborhood—offering roughly 400 additional square feet over comparable 2BR/2BA/1HB layouts, along with the privacy and peaceful wooded views that make it truly special.

Inside, gleaming hardwood floors and an abundance of windows create a light-filled, open living space rarely found beyond an end unit. The kitchen impresses with custom stained cabinetry, a center island, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances, while the dining area's charming bay window frames serene, tree-lined views. The expanded floor plan delivers a larger family room and dining area, plus an upstairs den for flexible living. Cathedral ceilings upstairs and 9-foot ceilings on the main level enhance the airy, open feel throughout.

Retreat to the spa-style primary suite, complete with a long double vanity and relaxing garden tub. Just off the breakfast area, a private deck overlooks tranquil wooded green space—an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening unwinding. The terrace level offers even more versatility, with an extended tandem garage fitting two cars plus bonus space perfect for a home office, gym, or storage.

Thoughtfully updated with Luxury Vinyl Tile upstairs (2021), Trane HVAC (2018), new rear deck (2018), water heater (2019), LG kitchen appliances and updated lighting (2020, per prior owner), included washer/dryer (2021), and a new HOA-replaced roof (2025).

Residents enjoy resort-style amenities: two swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a clubhouse fitness center, a community pond, lush green space, and ample guest parking—all just minutes from Downtown Roswell's shopping, dining, and top-rated schools.

Spacious, private, and move-in ready—this exceptional home is a rare find.

Welcome to Smyrna Grove: Your Craftsman Dream Awaits

Tucked inside one of Cobb County's best-kept secrets, this 2017 Craftsman-style executive home pairs timeless charm with everyday comfort. Start your mornings in a rocking chair on the front porch, coffee in hand, looking out over the neighborhood's green space and play area.

Inside, the open floor plan flows beautifully. The foyer opens to a spacious dining room with a butler's pantry, plus a sunny formal living room (or home office) with French doors. Rich hardwood floors lead you back to the heart of the home: a chef's kitchen with granite countertops, a large center island for entertaining, a walk-in pantry, and top-of-the-line stainless appliances, including a 36" gas cooktop with a custom vent hood.

The breakfast nook flows into the family room, where a coffered ceiling, built-ins, and a cozy gas fireplace set the scene for movie nights and holiday gatherings. Beyond it, a covered back deck is made for relaxed evenings and Atlanta sunsets.

Upstairs, the owner's retreat feels like a getaway. It has a double trey ceiling, a large walk-in closet, and a spa-style bath with a soaking tub, separate shower, and dual vanities topped with new marble. Three more generously sized bedrooms, two full baths, and a convenient upstairs laundry room give you plenty of space for guests, family, or extra home offices.

Downstairs, the possibilities are yours. The unfinished terrace-level basement is a blank canvas for a fitness room, home theater, w**e cellar, or whatever you imagine. A three-car garage adds even more room for vehicles and gear.

This gated community of nearly 200 Craftsman homes sits on 48 acres around a picturesque lake with a fountain. Residents enjoy:

- A junior Olympic saltwater pool
- A country club-style clubhouse with a stone entertainment and BBQ patio
- A fitness center and playground
- Walking trails, sidewalks, and plenty of green space
- A doggy spa and washing station
- Front lawn maintenance included in the quarterly HOA dues

The huge grassy play area is right across the street, and there's plenty of guest parking for gatherings.

Location, Location!
You're minutes from Smyrna Market Village, downtown Smyrna, Truist Park, The Battery, the Silver Comet Trail, golf courses, restaurants, shopping, and corporate offices. The airport is just 30 minutes away.

Owning your first home may be closer than you think. By considering a starter home and exploring down payment options below 20%, you can significantly shorten your timeline to homeownership. Many buyers reach this goal in about 7 years instead of 15. Local assistance programs can also help reduce upfront costs.

For a lot of first-time buyers, owning a home can feel perpetually a few years out of reach.
