The Aberdeen

The Aberdeen

The Aberdeen is next up on our tour of Vinings developments. Unlike Vinings Main and Avignon at Vinings, The Aberdeen has no homes or townhomes. But it will certainly have some amazing views. You see, The Aberdeen is a high-rise condominium that will tower over the other two developments and have wonderful views of the Atlanta skyline.

The location of the Aberdeen offers the ability to walk to the historic Vinings Village district, while also having convenient access to the interstate. There will be a total of 56 units, including 2 and 3 bedroom units and fourteen penthouse homes. Originally, the 12-story Vinings luxury condominium was to have 66 units and only seven penthouses, but demand for penthouses and larger units have resulted in the changes.

The Aberdeen will offer luxurious finishes and fabulous views of the Atlanta skyline. The development’s ground-breaking was on May 10, 2007, with completion set for mid- 2009. Amenities in the Aberdeen in the Vinings will include a pool and jacuzzi, clubroom, putting green, bocce court, fitness room, wine cellar, 24-hour security and concierge services and a gated entrance.

The Aberdeen condos for sale will range from $750,000 to over $2 million. And with the luxury high-condo One Vinings Mountain quickly selling, there is definitely a demand for this type of property in the Vinings Village.

If you have any further questions about the The Aberdeen project or any other Smyrna Vinings developments, feel free to contact us. Should you want to purchase real estate in the Smyrna Vinings community, we would be glad to assist you.

Avignon at Vinings

Avignon at Vinings

Avignon at Vinings

Since I covered the project underway at Vinings Main the other day, I thought I should just continue on up the hill out of Vinings. The next project adjacent to Vinings Main, is very impressive. It’s called Avignon at Vinings and will consist of 170 homes in a gated community on 18 acres.

Luxurious Villa homes, priced from $1.2 million, will be built by Atlanta builder Waterford Homes, which is also the builder of Stonecrest Manor and West Haven. The Village town homes, priced from the mid $700,000’s and Village condominiums from the high $400,000’s will be built by Kairos Development. High-end quality finishes will always come standard at this unique, custom neighborhood. Architectural direction is provided by Harrison Design Group.

Avignon at Vinings siteplan

Kairos Development Corporation recently announced that construction is underway at the clubhouse at Avignon at Vinings. Located in the heart of Vinings Village, Avignon at Vinings is reminiscent of a romantic, European village on a hillside with a grand Chateau as the focal point. The clubhouse at Avignon at Vinings will include a swimming pool, wine tasting room, resident wine lockers and caterer’s kitchen as well as a wellness center, which will include a spa and fitness facilities.

The Avignon at Vinings concept may sound very similar to the One River Place project over by the Chattahoochee River with a “country club” type clubhouse as the focal point for a mixed use community.

In addition to the spectacular clubhouse, Avignon at Vinings will also offer residents a gate house with 24-hour guard and 24-hour concierge. Lovely topography invites homeowners to relax and unwind at outdoor gathering spaces with scenic views of the City of Atlanta.

If you have any further questions about the Avignon at Vinings project or any other Smyrna Vinings developments, feel free to contact us. Should you want to purchase real estate in the Smyrna Vinings community, we would be glad to assist you.

Next up on our tour of new developments in Vinings will be Aberdeen, the high-rise luxury condominiums just up the hill from Avignon at Vinings.

Vinings Vineyard Penthouse Homeowner Letter

Vinings Vineyard Skyline View

To: Future Vinings Vineyard Homeowner

Welcome to what could be your new home! We want to tell you what we have loved about living in this area, neighborhood, and home.

VININGS – A GREAT LOCATION

Vinings is a fantastic place to live for a multitude of reasons. The Vinings area has grown exponentially, and has recently added many new restaurants and shops. We always loved the Vinings Village with the great restaurants and shops such as SoHo, The Vinings Inn, Garrisons, La Paz and the unique stores. Recent renovations to the Cumberland Mall have brought the likes of Stoney River, The Cheesecake Factory, Maggiano’s, PF Chang’s, and Ted’s Montana Grill to the area.

There are also numerous family-owned restaurants and retail establishments throughout the Vinings area that we’ve enjoyed exploring. Finally, the Smyrna Vinings area offers a host of retail shopping with anchor chains including Costco, Home Depot, Publix, and Target all located nearby.

Another great thing about living in Vinings is its close proximity to major interstates (I-75, I-285), the airport, and Marta. In just 15 minutes we can travel to the downtown area, Atlantic Station or Buckhead. It’s also great for family or visitors traveling into or out of town. You’ll also enjoy the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area nearby and the Silver Comet Trail.

Finally, we’ve enjoyed watching the Vinings area grow. Over the past few years, Vinings has exploded, and it has been rewarding to watch the area thrive. We believe the local leaders have done a tremendous job in facilitating economic and community development. Vinings is unique in that it offers many conveniences of city living, but nonetheless offers a small-town feel.

VININGS VINEYARD – A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD

Vinings Vineyard is a very peaceful place to live. Although it is close to major expressways and a short drive from downtown, the mood changes entirely as you enter the gated entrance and take in the New England charm. The neighborhood isn’t too small or too big, but is just the right size to make friends while also being able to relax and maintain your privacy. Because the home is located atop the hill, there is minimal traffic. The neighborhood is great for those that want to meet people at social activities, at the lavish swimming pool or while getting some exercise in the fitness center.

And we really appreciated that Paces Properties (a long time Vinings builder, who developed and built Vinings Jubilee in the heart of town) did a fine job on the construction, and came through on promises like the lush landscaping.

4100 PACES WALK #4406 – A GREAT HOME

There is only one. One corner Penthouse at Vinings Vineyard, with this view, and these upgrades. There is only one.

My wife and I bought #4406 in 2002, while our building was under construction. We put in all the upgrades available (granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, upgraded carpets, hardwood floors, etc). We are the original owners. In our first year of ownership, we hired a finish carpenter to do substantial upgrades that match NOTHING else you’ll find in Vinings Vineyard.

We replaced all the crown molding with heavier crown molding. We added the judges paneling, and the chair rail molding. We added the “frame” in the Kitchen around the breakfast bar, matching the cabinets. We added the floor to ceiling mirrors in the Dining Room and Master Bedroom. We added the fans and special lighting. We added a GE Advantium oven in the Kitchen.

We originally had a big screen TV mounted in the Master Bedroom, so you could watch, and view the skyline at night as well. In short, we did everything we could think of. We loved the location, in Vinings, and the view of the Atlanta and Buckhead skyline….. it’s simply the best there is, from right over the tree line, since our building sits on the hill.

When the sun rises in the morning, it comes up right over Stone Mountain, and Buckhead; spectacular! When it goes down in the west, the Buildings glisten pink and red! We also have the best 2 parking spots, right next to the mailboxes and elevator. And, we bought an extra storage unit, in addition to the one just outside our unit, and the one on the lanai. We used the pool and the workout facility as well.

It’s a very special place and unique location. The Nantucket Design (unique to our building); the Penthouse, with the 10 ft ceilings; 3 Br; 2 1/2 baths; and that VIEW! We loved living here. It’s with mixed feelings that we leave our home, but we’re very confident that you will love all that this great home and location have to offer! As you can tell, we quite partial, but take a look at the Virtual Tour and see for yourself.

With best wishes,

Jim
