Regional Builder Ramped Up Sales at Gwinnett County 55+ Community with Recent Grand Opening of Seaboard Junction in Loganville

Roswell, Ga, October 1, 2019 – Metro Atlanta-based regional homebuilder, Paran Homes, has witnessed a positive reaction from Gwinnett County home buyers since the Spring 2019 pre-sale opening of its newest active adult community in Loganville – Seaboard Junction. Now that a portion of the 112 low-maintenance villas in the gated 55+ hamlet have been completed, Paran is delighted to premiere two professionally merchandised model homes – which are now open to the public. First debuted at a very successful Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on September 17, the model homes received highly favorable feedback from guests. To add to the excitement of tours of the model homes and move-in ready homes at Seaboard Junction, Paran Homes is extending a $7,500 Any Way You Want It on select home sites OR $5000 in Design Options for presales for a limited time.*

“We were thrilled with the turnout at Seaboard Junction’s recent Grand Opening – many of the nearly 50 attendees were interested active adult buyers,” said Michael Rosenberg, President of Paran Homes. “We were also grateful to have the Gwinnett Chamber there to support the official Ribbon Cutting. Paran Homes has a terrific history with our 55+ product, as witnessed at Villas at Park Place in the City of Stone Mountain. The winning combination seems to lie within the pairing of beautifully crafted, lifestyle-focused floor plans with exciting, lifestyle-centric locations. That is certainly the case with Seaboard Junction. We’ve combined affordable, thoughtfully designed villas that are ideal for entertaining with the strategic placement of the community in an area that is rich with shops, restaurants, recreational destinations and alluring community events. From spending the afternoon at a great fall festival hosted by the City of Loganville or nearby Cities of Snellville and Grayson to ending the day shopping and dining at the Shoppes of Webb Gin, this is a terrific area for active adults and families alike. Add to that superb on-site amenities and a number of award-winning Gwinnett County parks nearby, and we make it easy for our active adult residents to STAY active.”

Priced from the High $200s, homes at Seaboard Junction feature three of Paran Homes’ most popular quad-style floor plans – The Augusta, The Veranda and The Savannah. All three plans boast 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 2-car garage and 1700+ square feet of one-story living space. Open-concept designs are ideal for couples who love to entertain and walk-up storage above the garage in all three plans has proven a popular feature. Amenities include a pool, clubhouse for community gatherings and loads of greenspace. Nearby, Bay Creek, Tribble Mill and Harbins Parks offer features like a lighted tennis complex, stocked lake for fishing, large network of trails for hiking and horseback riding, and all the other qualities that make a park truly great.

To design one of its model homes – featuring The Savannah floor plan, Paran Homes enlisted the aid of Suwanee-based Haven Design Works, led by Donna Mathis and Lisa Giles. “Our design was inspired by the suburban surroundings, as well as the needs and lifestyle of an active adult buyer,” said Giles. “The overall styling is a rustic modern, combining modern elements, clean lines and layered textures which makes the space feel fresh and new but also very comfortable and welcoming… like you could cozy up on the sofa with a glass of wine. We chose a vibrant color palette of rusts and goldenrod with pops of black for bold contrast. Adding this bold color palette contrasts some of the rustic wood tones and natural textures to really make this space come alive. We always wish people walk out of one of our designed spaces feeling like it was an experience and feeling inspired. We hope it allows buyers to envision themselves living in the space and seeing the value in the property by highlighting the home’s best features.”

The second model home – showcasing The Augusta floor plan – was designed by Joy Kirkland of Innovative Interiors. Kirkland employed the use of bold pops of blue and orange to lend a sense of vibrancy to living spaces. Pale walls and white cabinets are offset by dark hardwood floors. The open concept at the heart of the home creates the feeling of one unified space – making it an ideal floor plan for couples who love to host gatherings. Kirkland extends the living spaces outdoors with her inviting design of the covered porch – where one can imagine countless mornings drinking a cup of coffee and endless evenings delighting in some fresh air while enjoying a nightcap with friends and loved ones.

For those homebuyers and homeowners who also like to design according to the latest design dictates and cutting-edge styles, we’ve looked to our team of award-winning designers to weigh in on the Top 10 Design Trends for 2019. Joy Kirkland of Innovative Interiors and Tracy Cook of Design Etc. regularly create amazing model homes in Paran Homes communities throughout Metro Atlanta and today they share some of their talent and insights with our readers…

1. Focus on Light, Views and Fresh Air: Joy states that many of her clients are seeking a connection with the fresh air of the outdoors. Homes with open floor plans, lots of natural light and outdoor entertainment space is important to buyers.
2. See Your True Colors: The long trend towards grays is swinging back to white, off-whites and beige to appeal to the broadest range of buyers. Joy says that her clients are seeking a more neutral, calm background while Tracy suggests sudden pops of color to add interest. There is less focus on adding color with accent walls and a heightened focus on adding color through accent pieces, artwork and décor like throw pillows, knick-knacks and rugs. Tracy says to keep an eye out for a resurgence of hot jewel tones, as well as a lot of “Blush” color appearing in the spring – thanks in part to the suggestion of Pantone’s Color of the Year: Living Coral (PANTONE 16-1546)
3. And While We’re on the Subject of Accent Pieces: According to Joy, expect to see accent pieces in inky shades of green and blue dominating the accessory market. Mixed metal accents will also be a big trend in 2019, such as soft combinations of silver and gold or nickel and bronze or pewter and aged iron together rather than the traditional purist approach using only one metal house wide.
4. Keep it Natural: When it comes to hot materials and motifs for 2019, Joy suggests that there’s a yearning for more warmth and comfort with natural touches. A mix of warmer natural materials such as wood, leather, silk, and stone will help capture the natural feel. Also adding to the textures are metallic linen draperies, saddle leather, clay accent pieces and woven rugs of cotton and jute.
5. The Ground Beneath Your Feet: One product that is dominating the new home construction and renovation markets is Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring.  Joy says that they are more practical, sustainable and affordable than expensive real wood boards. Elle Décor suggests that you lean towards LVP that mimics light wood floors as opposed to the dark, rich cherry, walnut or mahogany.
6. Relaxed Refinement: Elle Décor predicts that comfort will be key in home décor in 2019 including plush accent rugs and cozy couches. Joy suggests that it will be wise to incorporate warm neutral hues in one’s furnishings using soft, comfortable fabrics like cotton, linen, leather, and velvet.
7. Lighten Up: Joy says that lighting is too often overlooked, even though it’s an essential component of every home. Aside from its functional purpose, when executed properly, lighting can serve as the jewelry of the home, setting a sense of personal style and character for every room. For 2019, the most desirable lighting will consist of clean, simple lines.
8. Go with the Flow: Tracy suggests that in 2019, we should expect to see more tone-on-tone hues on walls and trim – using different finishes. In addition to creating a seamless look, this technique (particularly in shades of white) will give the room a serene and spacious feel. With an open floor plan, this painting style will foster a cohesive flow from one room to the next.
9. Form Meets Function: Tracy also says that there will be an increased focus on creating useful spaces from unused space. Consider the needs of your family and reimagine the use of each space to fit those needs. For instance, an extra guest room might be better used as a playroom and homework station for families that have elementary and middle school kids.
10. Texture Gesture: Last but not least, Tracy suggests that textures will be a must in 2019, but not only textures you can touch – textures that add visual interest. Elle Décor states that measures like adding floral fabrics and wallpaper, as well as boldly patterned backsplashes in the kitchen could help add that textured visual appeal.

From all of us here at Paran Homes, we wish you and your family much happiness in 2019!

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.

Regional Homebuilder Debuts Professionally Decorated Model Home at Newest West Cobb Community

Duluth, GA, March 30, 2018 – After witnessing highly favorable responses from homebuyers to its West Cobb communities at Thomason Park and Silver Springs Village in the City of Powder Springs, Paran Homes added a third community to the mix with Sweetwater Landing in late 2016. Now selling single-family, Craftsman-inspired homes priced from the mid $200,000’s, Sweetwater Landing has recently debuted its new model home to the public. Professionally merchandised by interior designer, Joy Kirkland of Innovative Interiors, the home showcases the three-story Piedmont floor plan – one of fifteen floor plans available at Sweetwater Landing.

“While Sweetwater Landing proves appealing to a wide variety of homebuyers, I used the ‘growing active family’ as my inspiration for the design of this community’s model home,” explained Kirkland. “The Piedmont floor plan is ideal for engaging family members, whether enjoying dinner in the large gourmet kitchen or playing games and watching movies together in the media room. I highlighted all of the secondary bedrooms with warm paint colors, creating a cozy space for children to relax and enjoy being home. Of course, my favorite space I’ve created for this home is the master bedroom. I wanted to keep the room soft and ethereal, making this a luxurious retreat for the homeowners. I love the classic pieces and scale of the room.”

In addition to serving as design inspiration for visitors, the model home features 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, game room, media room, spacious kitchen, sprawling owners’ suite and all the bells and whistles. Intended to give homebuyers a sense of what life could be like at Sweetwater Landing, the model home is just one example of more than a dozen available floor plans, which offer a blend of 1-to-3-story homes featuring 3-to-6-bedrooms, front or rear-entry garages and upscale interior finishes that include coffered ceilings, wainscoting, hardwood floors, gourmet kitchens and more.

“While our new, beautifully merchandised model home certainly enhances the sense of welcome and appeal at Sweetwater Landing, this community already offers its fair share of attraction for Atlanta homebuyers thanks to a great amenity package, low Cobb County taxes and a terrific location,” said Michael Rosenberg, President of Paran Homes. “Not only is the community located within walking distance of Powder Springs charming downtown area and the ballfields, playgrounds, picnic areas and swimming pool of Powder Springs Park, Sweetwater Landing is located a short drive from many of Atlanta’s most popular destinations. Sweetwater Landing residents can enjoy making regular excursions to Downtown Atlanta, braving the rollercoasters at Six Flags Over Georgia, hiking Kennesaw Mountain and catching an Atlanta Braves game at SunTrust Park.”

To get to Sweetwater Landing from Atlanta, take I-20 West to GA-6W/Thornton Rd-Exit 44 and follow it for 8.7 miles. The community will be ahead on the right. For GPS users, the address is 4686 Sweetwater Avenue in Powder Springs.
