116 Rondak Circle in Smyrna is a wonderful brick townhome offering lots of upgrades at a price that’s hard to beat in Smyrna Vinings.

First of all, this is an end unit townhome and is 25 steps away from the community swimming pool.

The homeowners love the upgrades in the home and I’m sure you will as well. It’s great for entertaining and something you don’t see in townhomes in this price point in Smyrna Vinings.

The townhome features hardwood floors on both levels as well as oak hardwood stair treads. The Kitchen features stained cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a tile floor and a view of the pool.

Another great feature of this townhome is recessed lighting throughout the main floor, which creates just the right amount of lighting without cluttering the room.

You’ll love the large separate Dining Room, with custom-built Butler’s Pantry situated around the window. The Dining Room also features hardwood floors and crown molding.

One of the homeowner’s favorite spots is their fenced patio area. A great place to hang out on those warm Atlanta nights with friends.

The Palms is a popular place to call home. Situated on Atlanta Road at the intersection with Campbell Road, The Palms is extremely convenient to get to I-285 and I-75 as well as the major hotspots in Smyrna Vinings such as the Market Village, Ivy Walk, West Village or the historic Vinings Village, all within a 3-5 minute drive.

The Palms is also just a five minute walk from the Taylor-Brawner Park, which is set to open in February. The 12-acre park on Atlanta Road will have walking trails around a large lawn, a gazebo, a playground and a picnic area.

This 3BR/2.5BA townhome is offered at $200,000 and is a must-see. You’ll realize that this townhome offers the details that so many townhomes don’t in this price range.

From the tile floors laid at an angle to the window boxing on the stairs, there really hasn’t been any detail left out.

The week in review:

Home loan rates increased by approximately .25% last week. Several members of the Fed publicly said that inflation could increase once the economy recovers. Although there appears to be no inflation at the current time, fears of increasing inflation can cause home loan rates to rise.

What to expect:

The big event of the week will be the scheduled Fed meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday. Remember, the Fed dropped the Fed Funds Rate to a range of 0% to .25%. This is the lowest range ever. So, don’t expect a rate cut. However, the world will be listening to what they have to say about the economy, future inflation issues and their plans about purchasing mortgage obligations.

Breg-ometer:

Next 7 days: Fed announcement could move rates either way
Next 30 days: Potential for lower rates
Next 90 days: Potential for lower rates
