The first home, purchased by this family, was a town home on Township Circle in the community of Herring Township.

This fall, the family realized they needed more space and decided to sell their stunning town home. The home on Township Circle sold was last week due to it's great location. Move in ready, the town home is located in the top school district of South Forsyth High School. The convenience to shopping, restaurants, and Georgia Highway 400 made this a very desirable home and sold within one day. The newest homeowners are thrilled with the hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, open kitchen with lots of counter space and cabinet space. The home offers three bedrooms and two and a half baths with separate laundry room, spacious master bedroom and bathroom, private patio and backyard.

Realtor, Mary Ellen Vanaken states, "The fall and winter months are upon us and are a perfect time to sell your home. Sellers (http://northatlantahomes.kwrealty.com/sell/) will likely have less competition because the inventory of available homes tends to drop during this time of the year. And homes look festive this time of year with the fall and holiday decorations."
