New Townhomes Near Historic Downtown Roswell
July 20, 2011 by lauraeverett
Filed under Homes, Homes from $200,000, Neighborhoods, Real Estate
From amazing signature restaurants to fun, family-friendly events, there’s no doubt that the city of Roswell has a lot to offer homeowners. As you may expect, many of these events, as well as a multitude of great restaurants and shops, center around historic downtown Roswell, making it a highly sought-after place to live. Unfortunately, not many real estate opportunities arise within walking distance of this vibrant area, so when they do, you should take notice. For example, you should take notice of these two new townhomes currently for sale in Roswell Mill Village.
605 Elm Street Listed at $249,900, this two-story townhome features three bedrooms with three and one-half baths with an abundance of living space both indoor and out. Off of the front of the house are two rocking-chair porches and the back has an enclosed deck. As for the interior, the kitchen features stainless steel appliances, beautiful backsplash and granite countertops. Throughout the rest of the house, you’ll find an upgraded molding package, pine floors and other designer details. In addition to the aesthetic features, the craftsmanship is of the highest quality with aspects like a superior insulation package, 35 year roof, concrete crawl space and more. Plus, the home is situated almost directly next to the Roswell Mill, close to the historic town square as well as other parks and walking trails.
625 Elm Street As you can see, this home is very similar to the other townhome for sale, but it does have a few differences. First, the asking price is only $239,900. The fine finishes in the interiors are pretty much the same as well, but instead of pine floors, this townhome has hardwood floors. The biggest difference though would be that this home has a finished terrace level, giving it a bit more living space than the other. The terrace level features an extra bathroom, media room and private patio. Read more
