Both neighborhoods had great attendance at their respective events.  While they watched live baseball games and mingled  with other residents, attendees enjoyed delicious food cooked out on the grills. In addition, the homeowners at East Cherokee participated in baseball trivia with questions going back to the glory days of Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth.

“Talking to some of our neighbors who recalled some of their favorite childhood baseball heroes  made the events even more fun and interesting,” said the Orchard’s social director, Stacy Wheelus.

The baseball meet and greet is one of the many events held at The Orchards Group’s active adult communities. Residents at The Orchards of East Cherokee and The Orchards of Brannon Oak Farm enjoy a maintenance-free lifestyle in gorgeous homes as well as an array of amenities including outdoor pools, grand clubhouses and more!

The Dogwood Ranch Villa Townhome and The Cypress Ranch Villa Townhome are designed for buyers that want to be in a maintenance-free home with a nice backyard, but do not need the additional loft and bedroom suite associated with the standard versions of these two exciting plans.

The original Dogwood and Cypress plans are “Master-on-Main” Villa designs and include an upstairs loft, bedroom and bathroom on the second level. However, The Orchards Group has recently received considerable feedback and interest from shoppers who do not really need the additional space and are looking for cost savings. These new ranch townhome villa plans have broadened The Orchards Group’s new home price points at Brannon Oak Farm and offer an alternative to their ranch condominiums, which are at about the same price, but offer more interior space without a backyard.

As single level homes, these modified floor plans offer tremendous cost savings to buyers. While the homes are single level, they will still have a permanent staircase leading to an attic with approximately 180 square feet of unfinished storage space.

The Dogwood is a two bedroom, two bathroom plus den floor plan, priced in the mid $200,000s. The Cypress is a two bedroom, two bathroom plus den and screened porch priced in the high $200’000s. Both homes are being built on private, wooded home sites with scenic backyard views. The homes offer all of The Orchards Group’s first rate standard features like hardwood floors in the foyers and kitchens, 42-inch maple cabinets and granite countertops in the kitchens, two-car garages, coffered ceilings in the family rooms and more.

Of course, homeowners in every Orchards Group home enjoy maintenance free exteriors. Buyers at Brannon Oak Farm enjoy amenities like the Grand Clubhouse with outdoor pool, fitness center, two cards and games rooms, reading den, large outdoor veranda, firepit, arbor, grill and more.

The homes are ready now for your inspection.  For more information, call 678-513-8879.

Mitch Block, the director of sales and marketing said, “We are excited to see sales picking up in all of our communities.

One of the couple’s grandsons goes to the same school as their neighbor’s grandkid. Plus, their other grandson was on a baseball team with another neighbor’s grandson. This has helped them bond more quickly with their neighbors, and they socialize with them often. Additionally, Liane and Dennis enjoy bonding with other couples that have moved in recently as well as spending time with the other residents at community events such as pot luck dinners.

Liane and Dennis’ new home features two stories with the owner’s suite on the main level. “We adore sitting out on our front porch and visiting with friends and neighbors,” explained Liane. They also enjoy their second story bonus room, which she uses for all of her crafting projects. Liane also joked that they could have held their Thanksgiving dinner in the master bathroom because it is so spacious.

The home also suits the needs of the couple’s grandsons. They enjoy using the common space behind the home to play soccer with other residents’ grandchildren.

Liane and Dennis are happy they chose to retire at the Orchards of East Cherokee. Their new community has given them the chance to be with family, make new friends and enjoy all of the benefits of the area including the recently refreshed downtown Woodstock.
