Ivey Mills to Feature Three Homes on Roswell Woman’s Club Showcase Home Tour

The Roswell Woman’s Club held a luncheon Thursday, Oct. 11, at Ivey Mills (one of Jenny Pruitt & Associates New Homes communities) in Roswell to recognize and thank the more than 50 designers and design firms who have teamed to decorate the three homes in the community that will be featured on the club’s 2008 Showcase Homes Tour March 9 through 30, 2008.

Ivey Mills, which is being marketed by Jenny Pruitt & Associates New Homes, is an intimate community of 22 homes priced from $1.2 million. The three homes on the Roswell Woman’s Club 2008 Showcase Home Tour are being built by Glenn Knowles of Moncler Homes LLC, Jason Rosen of Rosen Custom Homes LLC and Randall Tharp of Tyson Homes.

“Coordinating the building and design of three new homes in a project of this scope is a huge undertaking, and we needed more designers this year than we have in the past,” said Tweedie Griswold, of the Roswell Women’s Club. “The response has been remarkable so far. We have a talented group of designers and firms who will no doubt make this year’s tour one the best yet. The homes at Ivey mills stand out for their beauty and architecture, and the design will no doubt add to their grandeur.”

The club chose the Ivey Mills community for the tour since the location provided an opportunity to help link the past with the present in historic Roswell. The site of Ivey Mills is land once owned by descendants of one of Roswell’s earliest residents, Francis Minhinnett, a stonemasion who arrived in America from Plymouth, England. Minhinnett completed stone work for one of the mills in Roswell, and he laid the foundation for Barrington Hall, one of the three historic city-owned homes in Roswell. Because Roswell Woman’s Club actively builds foundations in the community, this connection provides a great theme for the 2008 tour.

The two-story custom estate homes at Ivey Mills are built by some of Atlanta’s finest custom home builders and developed by Jim and Rishcard Wernick of Land Sellutions, which has developed land in the Atlanta area for 20 years. The luxurious homes within the community will range in size from 6,000 to 10,000 square feet, and all homes will be located on three-fourths of an acre sites. Children will attend schools in the highly-rates Fulton County district including Sweet Apple Elementary, Elkins Pointe Middle and Roswell High.
