More than 120 real estate professionals were on hand as Centex Homes, the 1998 Atlanta-are builder of the year, unveiled its furnished model home at The Chimneys in Fayetteville.

Characterized by its open and spacious floor plan, the Wellington plan also features a dramatic two-story entry and living room with a winding staircase. The model also reveals an enormous master suite and unique interior design features.

The Wellington recently garnered the attention of Atlanta's Best New Homes, a television program which spotlights premier communities and model homes throughout the metro Atlanta area.

The Chimneys, developed by Pathway Communities, is located on the site that was once the company's corporate retreat. Visitors nicknamed the site for the elaborate stone chimneys remains a focal point of the neighborhood's unique amenity area.

The amenity area features tennis courts, lush green spaces, a waterfront nature area and a fishing dock. The neighborhood is centrally located to Peachtree City and Fayetteville's shopping, recreation and entertainment opportunities. The Starrs Mill school complex, a state-of-the-art education facility housing a three-school campus for grades K-12, is adjacent to the neighborhood.

Homes are priced from the low $200s. The Chimneys is located on Ga. Highway 74. The model home is open daily 11 a.m- 6 p.m. For more information, call Kim Ryan-Smith at 770 461-4442.
