Regional Homebuilder Now Accepting New, Unwrapped Toys at Seven Active Communities in Metro Atlanta

Duluth, Ga, November 27, 2018 (Press Release) – Since 1947, Toys for Tots has served as the U.S. Marine Corps premier community action program. With a desire to give back to those in need within one of the cities where Paran Homes’ has the greatest presence, the regional homebuilder has launched Toys for Tots Drives at seven of its active communities throughout Metro Atlanta. During these toy drives, the Marines collect new, unwrapped toys and distribute them as Christmas gifts to less fortunate children in the surrounding community. Whether in search of a new home or merely wishing to bring a little happy to the holidays for one of the more than 15 million American children living in poverty, Atlantans are encouraged to drop by the sales centers of these communities with toys or bikes. Paran Homes will collect donations between November 28 and December 19.

“This year represents Paran Homes’ third time participating in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program,” said Michael Rosenberg, company president. “As in years past, we are teaming up with the incredible folks at the Duluth Police Department. In both 2016 and 2017, our Toys for Tots drives were wildly successful thanks to our homeowners, vendors, employees and community visitors. We truly hope there’s truth to the phrase: ‘third time’s the charm” so we can have our most impactful toy drive to date.”

The list of communities where Paran Homes is collecting on behalf of Toys for Tots includes:

• Oakleigh Pointe, 96 Oakleigh Pointe Drive in Dallas, GA
• Sweetwater Landing, 4696 Sweetwater Avenue in Powder Springs, GA

Paran Homes Debuts Professionally Decorated Model Home at West Forsyth County Community Featuring Single-Family Homes Starting in the Mid-$300s

Duluth, Ga, November 13, 2018 (Press Release) – With the recent introduction of two new floor plans at The Lakes of Franklin Goldmine in Forsyth County, regional home builder – Paran Homes – enhances the occasion with the premier of a new model home. Professionally decorated by Joy Kirkland of Innovative Interiors, the home features Paran’s Azalea brand-new floor plan and its five bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and exquisitely rendered living spaces spread out among the home’s more than 3,100 square foot interior.

“The Azalea offers a large open floor plan which creates a beautiful canvas for the home owner’s vision,” said Kirkland. “I drew inspiration for this model home from the beautiful horse farms and landscapes surrounding the neighborhood. I created a casual farmhouse look with elegant details by mixing natural finishes of wood, metal, stone and greenery along with soft linen and rich leather textures. The most current design trends are all about feelings. Creating a home that feels warm and relaxing can be accomplished with special elements like oil rubbed bronze faucets, rich wood floors, soft neutral paint colors, beautiful stone fireplaces, woven sisal rugs and natural fabrics such as linen and burlap.”

The designer also points to her personal favorite features of the floor plan such as an alluring and expansive gourmet kitchen with a gas range and large central island that’s perfect for cooking and family gatherings and a luxurious master bath with 7’ walk in shower that showcases a rain head, built in bench and natural slate tile which adds warmth, texture and character to the space.

“It’s really no wonder why Joy elected to design the home to appeal to families who desire to be part of a community that offers a multitude of outdoor activities, such as hiking, biking, horseback riding, shopping, swimming, tennis,” explained Michael Rosenberg, President of Paran Homes. “The Lakes of Franklin Goldmine is poised at the heart of West Forsyth County, which is rich with family-friendly parks boasting everything from walking and equestrian trails to skate and dog parks to boat ramps on nearby Lake Lanier and a state-of-the-art aquatic center.”

In addition to an excellent network of parks – which includes the 963-acre Sawnee Mountain Preserve, Fowler Park (once named Best Park in Best of Forsyth 2015), Mary Alice Park and Central Park, among others – The Lakes of Franklin Goldmine also comes complete with its own desirable amenity package onsite. Amenities inside the community include a swimming pool and clubhouse, lighted tennis courts, community firepit and playground. For those in search of adventures of an entirely different sort, dining in and around Cumming, as well as shopping at The Collection at Forsyth to the south or North Georgia Premium Outlets to the north won’t disappoint. The community’s proximity to GA-400 proves a major plus for weekday commuters, boaters and fishermen seeking fun on Lake Lanier or outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy everything from hiking to leaf-peeping in the North Georgia Mountains. School-age children living in The Lakes of Franklin Goldmine will have access to the highly acclaimed Forsyth County Public School System, including Sawnee Elementary, Liberty Middle and West Forsyth High Schools.

The new Azalea floor plan at The Lakes of Franklin Goldmine is joined by the new Manchester floor plan – a two-story, four-bedroom, three-and-a half-bathroom single-family home that boasts more than 3,600 SF of living space, two-story great room, secondary bedroom on main, large open kitchen with central island and so much more. Three other floor plans – Bradford, Kensington, and Primrose – have all been revamped to reflect Paran Homes’ dedication to delivering homes that meet the needs and exceed the expectations of home buyers. Homes at The Lakes of Franklin Goldmine showcase price points starting in the mid-$300s.

Professionally Decorated Model Home at Chestnut Farms Takes Home the Trophy for Regional Home Builder

Duluth, Ga, November 9, 2018 (Press Release) – Earlier this month, the Sales & Marketing Council of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association (GAHBA) recognized the outstanding achievements of some of the city’s boldest and brightest builders, renovators, designers, marketing experts and sales professionals with the 2018 OBIE Awards. First launched in 1980 and named after the obelisk shape of the actual award presented, the OBIEs are considered a premier award in the new home construction industry. Metro Atlanta-based Paran Homes was proud to be honored this year with an OBIE for Best Interior Merchandising of its model home at Chestnut Farms – a single-family home community in Kennesaw that will showcase 36 stunning new homes priced from the low $400s-$600s upon completion.

Designed by interior decorator, Tracy Cook of Design, Etc., the home that garnered Paran Homes an OBIE Award offers a “vintage meets modern” appeal. The overall design features elements of white on white and soft hues juxtaposed against dark wood floors, textured upholstery and dramatic accent pieces. It also showcases distressed wood pieces, antique elements and thoroughly current upholstered furnishings. While all of the rooms are memorable, the most extraordinary spaces that likely caught the eye of OBIE judges include the stylish dining room, home office with partners desk and reclaimed shutter as an eye-catching wall accent, serene master suite, and welcoming outdoor living space.

“We take our model homes very seriously at Paran Homes,” said company president, Michael Rosenberg. “More than just a powerful marketing tool, if done right, they serve as an immersive experience for our guests – something that they will remember long after they leave our communities. As they stroll through each room, visitors should be able to envision their family gathering around the dining room table for the holidays or sharing stories about the day’s events around the kitchen island. When they see the upstairs media space, they might imagine their kids happily playing there or knocking out their homework before dinnertime. And when they stroll through the expansive master suite, they can see themselves beginning and ending each day in that space as part of their own personal ‘happily ever after.’ This model home accomplishes all of that and more. Through her use of a ‘less is more’ approach, Tracy has done an amazing job painting a picture of what life might be like if one lived in Chestnut Farm.”

Tasked with appealing to a target audience of active families with children – likely drawn to the area by the abundance of recreational outlets and highly revered school system, as well as empty nesters at the other end of the spectrum, Cook drew inspiration from the home itself when planning her design by taking advantage of the home’s natural light which serves as an inviting, happy backdrop. With the lofty goal of creating the ideal representation of what every busy person wants in their own lives – a clutter-free, tranquil, joyful space to raise a family, she succeeded in keeping the look and feel of the home fresh, clean and uncluttered. She also endeavored to make the design as functional as it is fetching with a homework station in the media room and drop station near the garage for family members to drop their book bags, laptop bags and purses while charging their smartphones for the next day.

Paran Homes’ award-winning model home is open to the public at Chestnut Farms Monday-Saturday from 10am-6pm and on Sunday from 1-6pm. GPS users who wish to visit Chestnut Farms, the address of the model home is 825 Mars Hill Road in Kennesaw.
