New Atlanta Townhomes at Circle 75Love is definitely in the air in Cobb County. Anthea Drew and Miles Mazzawi recently purchased a new Atlanta townhome at Circle 75.

They closed on their townhome on May 2, and, later that night, Anthea and Miles were happily painting their new master bedroom when Miles left to run an errend.  Anthea heard the doorbell ring about an hour later, and when she opened the door she saw Miles, wearing a tie and jacket and carrying a dozen, beautiful red roses.  Tears of joy filled Anthea’s eyes as Miles dropped to one knee to ask for her hand in marriage on the threshhold of what will be the couple’s first home together.

What a romantic story! And Circle 75 is honored to have brought this exciting new phase in life to this happy couple. The couple, like many others, chose The Towns of Crescent Park because it is a thriving Live/Work/Play community.  (Continued…)
