Moving to a new area means making a hundred decisions at once. Which neighborhood. Which schools. How long the drive really is. And somewhere in there, how to cover the cost of the move itself. Here's one decision made easier: the seller is offering an incentive you can use toward your closing costs or to buy down your interest rate. Your choice. Now, the rest of the list. The neighborhood. Maristone is a swim and tennis community. The pool is where summer introductions happen, and the tennis courts are where "we should play sometime" turns into a standing Saturday match. When you're new in town, that's how you go from "the new people" to neighbors. The schools. You're in the sought-after Denmark High School district, with DeSana Middle and [Elementary: confirm]. The drive. GA-400 is minutes away, so getting to work, the airport or the rest of metro Atlanta doesn't eat your day. Getting to know the place. Halcyon is close by for dinner, a stroll and whatever's happening on the green. The Collection at Forsyth covers the shopping and the Saturday errands. And Fowler Park is right there when you want to get outside. The house. Classic brick outside, fresh paint inside. That matters when you're moving from out of town: no picking paint colors from a hotel room, just unpack and start living. Walk in and the two-story family room opens everything up. Tall windows, a fireplace and built-ins make it bright, and it starts feeling like yours the first night. The kitchen is big and open to it, so whoever's cooking stays part of the conversation. The formal living and dining rooms flex to fit you: a real table for holiday dinners, or an office while the new job is still new. On the main level, a converted full bath is ready for visitors. Fair warning: the minute you move, everyone back home discovers they've always wanted to see Georgia. Upstairs, the bedrooms are refreshingly roomy, including a large primary suite with a tray ceiling. Both bathrooms have been updated, so the polish is where you'll notice it every day. Out back, a fenced yard. Plus a two-car garage with room for everything the moving truck brings. A hundred decisions. This one's easy.
