Windsong Properties “Courtyard Crawl” Continues to Grow

Oct. 5, 2009 - PRLog -- ATLANTA – Windsong Properties, Atlanta’s premier active adult courtyard home builder, recently held their Third Annual “Courtyard Crawl” at the Villas of Blackberry Run in Dallas, Ga. The idea originated as a way for homeowners and potential homebuyers to get to know one another by showing off their breathtaking courtyards. The successful event has grown each year and this year was no different.

With courtyards the focal point and entertainment centers of each home at Blackberry Run, creative juices were boiling over once again this year as “Crawlers” made their way from home to home visiting inviting seating areas, outdoor dining spaces, traditional gardens of flowers, vegetables and herbs. One courtyard even included a swimming pool.

“We looked around at numerous communities but we couldn’t find what we were looking for until we visited Blackberry Run,” said Julie Palmer, homeowner and “Crawler”. “The courtyard area is one of the reasons we decided to buy here,” she added. “After we purchased our home, we decided to put in a pool. We love being outside and we spend a lot of time in our courtyard area either in our pool or hot tub. It is something we can enjoy year round.”

Currently, only four homes remain at The Villas of Blackberry Run (http://www.windsonglife.com/neighborhoods/profile.asp?CID...). The masterly crafted villas feature a pool, clubhouse and 76 homes with award-winning floorplans. Each home includes 10-foot vaulted ceilings, a private courtyard retreat with patio, ventless fireplaces and oversized master walk in closets. Each Windsong Properties home is also specially designed to meet EasyLiving Home© specifications, which includes no-step access, wide doorways and other amenities that facilitate life changing situations.

Floorplans in the community include the Starcrest plan which begins at $199,900 and offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with an optional third bedroom. This floorplan includes a spacious master bedroom and master bath featuring a cultured marble garden tub perfect for relaxation. With craftsman style features and hardwood floors throughout the home, the floorplan is ideal for entertaining. Granite countertops, a screened in patio and a gas fireplace complete this luxurious floorplan.

The Windsor and Bristol models, starting at $224,900, include three bedrooms and three bathrooms. A large kitchen with granite countertops and raised panel cabinets is open and inviting. Hardwood floors, permanent stairs to a walk-up attic and a large master suite round out both floorplans. Options for these models include a detached casita with full bath, expanded great room and expanded sunroom.
