The Biggest Bargain at D’Youville Yet!
Just when I think this real estate market can’t get any stranger, it does. You think that a four bedroom, two and one half bath, three level, condo with a view for under $200,000 doesn’t sound bad. Yes, we are talking inside the Perimeter with great schools. Today, somewhat reluctantly we reduced the asking price to $129,900.
This huge townhome is located in D’Youville overlookingNancyCreek. This is probably the best view in the complex, pretty view of the creek and gardens without the Chamblee Dunwoody traffic. The great room, dining room, covered porch and lower level deck offer such a pretty setting. You can sit on your porch and think that you’re on a mountain vacation.
The interior has been totally repainted and new carpet installed. Everything has been impeccable kept. The lower level is perfect for a home office or teen suite. A bath could be easily added, the plumbing is already in place.
D’Youville was originally Creek Indian territory. After the government acquired the property in the 1800’s, it was divided and opened to settlers. The property passed thorough several owners before being purchased by William Wallace, the co-founder ofCrawfordLongHospital. Dr. Wallace purchased the homestead and surrounding acreage for his semi-invalid wife, Lucy. He had incredible gardens planted for her, named the estate “Flowerland” and welcomed the public for tours. After Miss Lucy died the estate fell into disarray. During World War II the Lee family purchased the property and restored the big house and gardens. In 1957 Mrs. Lee sold the property to the Catholic Church for a nominal sum to build an all girls school. Rising cost forced the school to close in 1968 and after sitting untouched for three years Cousins Properties acquired the property.
The development was built-out over a ten year period. The units along the creek were the first to be constructed, around 1974. The units in the back of the complex are the newest being completed in 1985. There are many different floor plans in D’Youville, ranging from two bedrooms to five bedrooms. Some have masters on the main, garages, views, etc. Many of the gardens and reflecting ponds still remain and tennis courts and a pool have been added. There truly is something for everyone.
I would be delighted to give you a tour of this property!
