126 Alicia Ct, Marietta, GA 30062

Heartwood, there couldn’t be a more fitting name for this highly-sought after hidden gem of a Community located in East Cobb. Prepare to fall in love! Congratulations, you finally made the decision to shed the big house in the burbs with all the things for a simpler life so you can focus on the hobbies you love, spend more time with your life partner and get closer to the family you want to see more often (the fun ones, not the crazy ones of course). The thought of never having to climb a mountain of stairs to your Primary Suite again, or worrying about the maintenance that comes with an older home or cutting the lawn brings joy to your soul. As you drive down Post Oak Tritt road, just before Johnson Ferry, on a beautiful fall day you see the entrance to Heartwood. You have driven by this community many times in the past and have always wondered about this Community… being such a gorgeous day you decide to turn in to check it out. As you enter the community you notice it is meticulously landscaped and maintained and you think to yourself the HOA dues must cover lawn maintenance (they do and it also includes water). As you drive through you notice many residents out walking and as you pass the Community Pool and Gazebo your see residents enjoying a Pot Lock dinner (almost every Friday). Well this feels fun and inviting. You turn the corner and see 126 Alicia Court which grabs your attention because it looks like a brand new home with new cementitious siding freshly painted, brand new maintenance-free windows, newer roof and crisp and clean landscaping. You see a Broker Open sign so you decide to check it out.? As you enter the home, you are blown away by the two-story great room with vaulted ceiling and family room with a fireplace that you imagine being huddled up at reading a good book or talking with friends. The luxury vinyl hardwood floors throughout the main level look super durable, low-maintenance and offer an updated modern look. You love the spacious and open floor plan where the Dining Room flows to the Kitchen and Sun Room flanked by the Primary Suite. Kitchen features all new Shaker Cabinets, with soft-action close, Quartz Counters, Stainless Appliances, pull-out trash and even a pot-filler above the range. The Primary Suite has a fully updated Bathroom with Custom Closet and the Suite has a pair of doors that can be opened to the Sun Room. The main floor features a generous half bath, laundry and two car garage with room for storage. The Mechanical Room in the Garage includes the Brand New Water Heater and HVAC System that is 6 years young. And you are already imaging how you are going to enjoy your morning coffee on the brand new patio outside the sun room. Even though you can see yourself just living on the main floor, you curiosity has the better of you as to what is on the second floor. As you walk up the stairs, to the right you see a large well-lit loft area, with a massive closet that would be great for your office, art/photography or craft room. Then you notice to the left a generous sized bedroom and full bathroom perfect for a guest room when your friends or grand kids come to visit! As you are walking down the stairs in somewhat of a daze enamored by this home and Community, you think to yourself, not only do I get a basically brand new home that will have little to no maintenance over the next decade I could be a block from shopping, dining and a short drive to Historic Roswell. The Community seems super friendly and inviting and I don’t have to move to West Cobb or Woodstock to find this type of home which just happens to be located in a top-rated school district and even better, the Senior Exemption in Cobb County massively reduces my Property Taxes. Maybe I should take the key out of the front door so no one else can get in (please don’t do that), so I can head straight home and tell Frank he is moving today!
