Active Adult Community Opens with a Flurry in Woodstock

Windsong's Somerset Exclusively for 55 Plus

[ClickPress, Thu Apr 10 2008] Windsong Properties, an award-winning builder of active adult communities in Northwest Atlanta, has hit the mark again with a winning combination of low maintenance homes individually designed for each buyer and the perfect lifestyle for those aged 55 and up. The builder’s new community, Somerset, located in Woodstock, features 59 detached ranch courtyard homes priced from the mid $300,000s. The clubhouse and two professionally decorated model homes are now open.

Founder Mark Carruth and Managing Partner Steve Romeyn understand what is important to the active adult homebuyer because of their personal experiences and passion. With a combined 50 years of experience in Atlanta residential development and building, Mark and Steve have paid meticulous attention to every detail of the design, construction and homebuyer experience at this unique community.

“At Windsong, one of the many ways that we distinguish ourselves from other active adult builders is by offering buyers the opportunity to make structural modifications to our home plans in addition to offering an extensive array of decorator choices,” said Romeyn. “We welcome our buyers’ individual ideas at Somerset. And, we know that by listening to our buyers’ desires their homes will reflect their lifestyles.”

All of the homes at Somerset maximize the benefit of natural light in every corner. The homes offer three bedrooms and elegant details, such as private courtyards with garden retreats; rocking chair front porches; ten foot ceilings with crown molding; and large master suites with baths that have separate vanities, garden tubs, tile showers with seats and ceramic tile floors. Built with the active adult in mind, the homes also provide ample space to entertain, with gourmet kitchens that feature granite countertops, custom cabinets and built-in appliances. Understanding the importance of storage space, Windsong designed the home plans to incorporate an abundance of extra room, including expansive master closets, walk-in pantries, linen storage and generous bedroom closets. Even the garages have space for storage, a freezer or a workbench. The best storage of all is found up the permanent stairs to the hundreds of square feet of full-headroom storage (or bonus room) in the attic.

Every home that Windsong Properties builds meets EasyLiving Homes© standards – no-step access, wide doorways, lever handles, and other amenities that facilitate changing life situations. All of the homes at Somerset are qualified by Southface as EarthCraft Home© and Energy Star certified. This assures that the homes have a lower cost to operate, are healthier and more comfortable and reduce the impact on the environment.

Homeowners will enjoy the community’s wide tree-shaded sidewalks, the elegant private clubhouse for planned activities and fun gatherings, and a beautiful park area nestled under mature oak trees.
