Browns Mill Walk
A Perfect Blend of Classic and Modern
by Mark Cornwell




















Offering a touch of the past in a neighborhood of the future, Browns Mill Walk is a new community with timeless appeal. Located just south of downtown Atlanta, Browns Mill Walk is a charming community that affords buyers quick access to premier work centers, entertainment facilities, fine dining and shopping. Built by The Housing Group as part of an effort to revitalize south Metro Atlanta, Browns Mill blends classic Craftsman-style architecture and modern amenities, so residents can enjoy amenities of today and a true community feel that hearkens back to the past.

An enclave of 26 Craftsman-style homes priced from $229,900, Browns Mill offers eight floor plans, ranging from 1,800 to 2,500 square feet, to accommodate almost any lifestyle. Buyers can choose from plans that offer three or four bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths—a three-bedroom plan featuring a loft space is also available. Browns Mill homes’ period-style exterior features such as cedar shake accents, board and batten siding, tapered columns, welcoming front porches and signature Tire-Tread driveways create vintage appeal.

The homes’ distinctive Craftsman-style interiors are a blend of vintage touches and modern state-of-the-art technologies, including extensive moldings, beadboard accents and professional kitchens with stainless steel appliances. Nine-foot ceilings on the first floor, trey or vaulted ceilings throughout and stained oak hardwood in the foyer create an open, inviting space. Luxury baths feature Shaker-style stained vanity cabinets and cultured marble countertops. The master suite’s spa bath includes an oval garden tub with Roman faucet, separate ceramic tile shower and double vanities.

In addition, the homes offer other details that should not be overlooked, including a ceramic tile fireplace surround with custom mantel and brushed nickel door hardware throughout. Professionally landscaped and sodded yards, security systems and attached two- or three-car garages add to the appeal. The Housing Group also incorporated environmentally friendly building techniques—Correct Housewrap is installed in each residence for increased energy savings and moisture protection.

Although Browns Mill Walk’s features and amenities are enticing, Michael Ray, partner of The Housing Group, knows what is attracting buyers. “The main attraction to the community is the availability of single-family homes conveniently located near the city at affordable prices,” he says. “The Craftsman style is a timeless and classic design that many homeowners desire.”

And buyers in the community will be rewarded— in a sense—by the community’s south Metro Atlanta location. The revitalization effort in the area has fostered a relationship with the city government, which is offering 10-year tax abatements to the residents of Browns Mill Walk. Buyers will receive about $300 in tax savings for the first few years. A downpayment assistance program and closing-cost grants are also available to Browns Mill residents.

Browns Mill Walk is a terrific choice for the homebuyer who does not want to sacrifice the true community feel of the past for amenities of the future. With distinctive Craftsman architecture combined with contemporary features, Browns Mill Walk offers the perfect blend of classic and modern
