“Living in a cottage style home is like being on vacation without leaving home,” said Chadwick Homes Builder Representative Emily Byrd of The Home Source Realtors as she describes The Cottages of Saranac in Peachtree City.
The homes, as well as The Cottages at Maple Shade in Tyrone, are popular with buyers for their distinctive open floor plans and outdoor living areas.

“The cottages - with spacious open plans, high ceilings, state-of-the-art kitchens, and enclosed courtyards - invite entertaining and a relaxed lifestyle,” said Connie Dyer of The Home Source Realtors, Chadwick Homes builder representative at The Cottages at Maple Shade, which are priced from the high $500’s. “Pools, hot tubs, outdoor grilling areas, fountains, or patios are options which home buyers may select for the courtyard areas.”

The Cottages at Maple Shade plans feature a flexible room which may be used as a studio, guest quarters, exercise or hobby area, or office. At Saranac, where similar though slightly less expansive cottages on smaller homesites are priced from the high $300’s, the flexible area is often a golf cart garage which is convenient since the neighborhood, like The Cottages at Maple Shade, has access to Peachtree City’s path system.

Each neighborhood offers gathering spots - a picturesque lake and playground at The Cottages at Maple Shade, and a gazebo at Saranac.
