The Gates on Woodlawn Brings Luxury Villas to East Cobb

The Gates on Woodlawn, an elegant community of 22 clustered Villa homes at the intersection of Woodlawn Drive and Lower Roswell Road in East Cobb, has begun pre-opening sales. With its luxury custom features, energy saving design, low-maintenance lifestyle, and close-in location, the Gates on Woodlawn is certain to become a landmark community.

The Gates on Woodlawn is a lifestyle community designed for security, comfortable living, low maintenance, and investment value enhancement.

“It’s a lock-and-leave community,” said Lawson Calhoun of nationally recognized Calhoun Properties, Inc. of Marietta, which is building the homes. “Homeowners who travel or have other homes will have the comfort of knowing their property here is secure and taken care of.”

Several components contribute to the community’s lifestyle orientation. It is a gated community. The homeowner’s association provides all exterior maintenance on the grounds and the homes. And the homes will be built to stringent Comfort Home and Energy Star standards and include a host of low-maintenance and peace-of-mind features.

Centrally located in East Cobb, The Gates on Woodlawn is within walking distance to several shopping areas and convenient to Hwy 400, I-285, and I-75. Located across from Ritter’s Restaurant, there are several country clubs nearby, as well as the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area, which features beautiful walking trails and bike paths.

The 22 unique custom homes in the community are sited as 11 paired villas; each pair shares a central wall that separates all living areas and garages with solid, steel reinforced concrete walls as well as insulated stud walls. To enhance this urban character, Calhoun has placed the homes close to the street, giving the community the feel of a European village. Details such as stone patterned curbs, washed-rock driveways, stone walks, metal clad casement windows, and each home’s unique façade add to the community’s Old World flavor.

Buyers may choose from among ten floor plans, ranging in size of 3,500 sq. feet, with three bedrooms and two-and-one-half bathrooms, to over 4,700 sq. feet, which offers four bedrooms and four-and-one-half bathrooms. Each home features many custom-home features, including gourmet kitchens with top-of-the-line Wolf, AGA, Fisher& Paykel and Sub-Zero appliances and hand-crafted cabinets and spacious master bedroom suites with custom closet systems. Each house also has been designed for an optional elevator.

“While these are truly superior designs, they are only the starting point,” said Calhoun, who has built award-winning custom homes in the Atlanta market for the past 25 years. “We offer our clients the option of completely customizing their home. They may alter the floor plans and choose all of their interior features.”

For buyers who aren’t looking to build a custom home, The Gates on Woodlawn offers six completed homes. These homes feature brick-and-stone exteriors and have numerous custom details, such as hammered travertine floors, solid wood timber beamed ceilings, gas lanterns and granite countertops. All of the homes are open for tours.

Homes in The Gates on Woodlawn are priced from the mid-$700,000s to the mid-$900,000s.

The Gates on Woodlawn is a joint venture of nationally recognized builder Calhoun Properties, Inc. and River Run, LLC, which has been developing successful communities in the Atlanta market for more than 35 years.
