Some of us are naturally drawn to the Great Outdoors, while others prefer to enjoy its beauty from the climate-controlled comfort of our homes. Either way, there is a growing trend in interior (and, arguably, exterior) design that calls for a unification of indoor and outdoor living spaces. At Paran Homes, we often design our homes with this in mind – adding lots of windows to let in natural light and provide scenic views, creating outdoor living spaces that serve as great entertainment zones, and providing model homes that embrace this design trend and offer inspiration to our guests. We’ve compiled a list of four tips that you can try in your own home (or future home) to connect your indoor and outdoor living spaces.

1. Mirror Your Interior Design Theme Outdoors: If you have a color story and design theme throughout the interior of your home – say a nautical theme paired with a navy and white color story that boasts pops of bright orange – you’ll want to carry those same colors and theme outdoors to create a seamless flow between spaces. On one hand, it will make your outdoor living space feel connected to the indoors, and on the other, it won’t clash from a color or design perspective when you look out the window at your outdoor living space.
2. Use Window Treatments to “Frame” Your Backdrop: Framing your windows with long curtains hung slightly above the trim and extending all the way to the floor not only softens the room and adds an air of romanticism, but also draws the eye to the window and, more importantly, the scenery beyond the window. This virtually makes your backyard a “work of art” that you, your family, and your guests can enjoy year-round. Other possibilities include plantation shutters with large louvers to let in more light and optimize the view, in addition to shades that can be drawn open on particularly beautiful days.
3. Bring Elements of the Outdoors Inside: A great way to connect outdoor and indoor living spaces is by bringing elements of the world outside your window inside. This can include live plants, hardwood floors and rustic wood walls/beams/furniture, stone fireplace surrounds, nature-inspired artwork and décor, and more.
4. Create an Outdoor “Room”: By extending your ceiling from the indoors to the outdoors, you automatically create the perception that those spaces are connected. A covered porch extends your enjoyment during inclement weather and a screened-in porch could extend it even further. Covered porches also expand your design and usage options so much more so than an open patio. The cover a ceiling provides allows for things like cozy overstuffed conversation seating and wiring for an outdoor flat-screen TV, both of which provide more of a sense of its own space.

If you’d rather start fresh instead of trying to convert your current home to an indoor-outdoor oasis, Paran Homes welcomes the chance to build your next home – complete with a focus on outdoor living spaces. Many of our homes come with options to extend, cover, and screen in the patio. One of our most popular options is our Game Day Patio, featuring a covered outdoor living space complete with a hearth and pre-wiring for a TV. It’s the ideal spot for watching your favorite sports, like college football or major league baseball, while enjoying some fresh air with friends and family members.

From military and first responders to nurses and teachers, Atlanta-based regional homebuilder – Paran Homes – believes that “heroes” come in all shapes and sizes. As a builder that seeks out some of the best hometowns in the Southeast in which to develop its neighborhoods, Paran wishes to honor a number of very distinguished members of these communities with its newly minted Hometown Hero program. In an effort to work with active and retired military members, police officers, EMTs, firefighters, nurses and teachers to realize their family’s American Dream of home ownership, Paran Homes is extending a $2,500 Hometown Heroes incentive. What that means is that when a Hometown Hero purchases a Paran Home, the builder will pay $2,500 towards their closing costs.

“This program is designed to honor these members of society for their service and dedication – whether that’s halfway across the world or right here in our backyard – protecting, healing or educating people in our community,” said Michael Rosenberg, President of Paran Homes. “That $2,500 we save them in closing costs can be used to purchase furniture for their new home, tucked away in a savings account for their children’s education fund and so much more.”

Valid identification is required to qualify for the Hometown Heroes incentive and certain restrictions apply. Anyone interested in taking part in Paran Homes’ Hometown Heroes incentive can see the sales associate at the Paran Homes’ communities listed below for more details:

It’s our way of saying ‘thank you’ for their service.”

Paran Homes was honored to take part in HomeAid Atlanta’s Essentials Drive to benefit charitable organizations geared toward homeless populations. As the designated charity of the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association, HomeAid Atlanta endeavors to build new lives for homeless families and individuals through housing and community outreach.  Marking its 18th year, the Essentials Drive is HomeAid’s annual community-wide drive to collect “essentials” such as diapers, baby wipes, baby food, and formula for families in need. Held annually since 2002, the Essentials Drive has collected over a million critical baby items and has assisted hundreds of moms and babies in the metro Atlanta area. From April 29 to May 7, Paran Homes hosted a collection drive at our Corporate headquarters and seven of our Atlanta communities. Our visitors really came through and we want to say THANK YOU!

In addition to our Corporate offices, the drives were hosted at Traditions of Braselton in Jefferson; Oakleigh Pointe in Dallas; The Lakes of Franklin Goldmine in Cumming; Chestnut Farms in Kennesaw; The Woods of Midvale in Tucker; Heritage Pointe in Lawrenceville; and Kingsland in Atlanta. But we didn’t do it alone. Thanks to your help and the help of volunteers at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage; Northwest Exterminating; McMichael & Gray, PC; Ganek PC; BMC; BB&T, and many others, HomeAid was able to collect approximately 170,000 items for Atlanta’s homeless babies including diapers, baby wipes, baby food, and formula for homeless infants and toddlers. The items were delivered to nearly two dozen nonprofits that work with homeless families in time for Mother’s Day.

“A lot of people aren’t aware that 40% of Atlanta’s homeless population is families,” said Whit Marshall, CEO of Paran Homes. “Everyday essentials are something a lot of us take for granted, but for a family who is living on the streets, out of a shelter or out of their car, items like formula and baby food are incredibly vital and too often scarce. Can you imagine living in fear that you might not have enough food for your baby from one day to the next? That’s the harsh reality so many people face day in and day out. The Paran Homes team is so proud to partner with HomeAid and the organizations it serves. We’d love to see them stamp out homelessness altogether. In the meantime, we’re happy to help bring relief to families in need however we can.”

In 2016, HomeAid Atlanta designated Paran Homes its Builder of the Year. This past year, Paran Homes was proud to take part in HomeAid Atlanta’s 2018 Project Playhouse. Serving in the role of Builder Captain, we worked closely with Kennesaw State University’s Department of Construction Management Program to realize the vision of Atlanta architect, Mike Hart of the Hartwin Group. The result was a charming 10 x 8 x 10 playhouse titled “Saltbox of the Earth” and valued at $13,500. It was placed on display at Avalon’s highly visible open-air market over the holiday season where shoppers could purchase raffle tickets in hopes of winning the playhouse. The project raised nearly $5,500 to benefit the charitable organizations HomeAid serves.

From all of us at Paran Homes, we’d like to say thank you to everyone who took part in the 2019 Essentials Drive. We truly appreciate your generosity and support of this very worthy cause!

Regional Builder Is Now Selling at 55+ Community in Gwinnett County Featuring Quad-style Villas Priced from the High-$200s

Duluth, Ga, May 9, 2019 (Press Release) – Duluth-based regional homebuilder, Paran Homes, announced today that it is now open for sales at its newest Metro Atlanta community – Seaboard Junction in the City of Loganville. Showcasing a spectacular collection of 112 low-maintenance villas, Seaboard Junction is situated just off the popular thoroughfare of Loganville Highway. Representative of one of Gwinnett County’s newest active adult communities, the first homes in Seaboard Junction are expected to be move-in ready by late Summer 2019. Early success during a brief pre-sale period – leading to the sale of the first two homes in Seaboard Junction – has the leadership team at Paran Homes feeling optimistic.

“We are eager to see a continuation of this early favorable response to Seaboard Junction from buyers, as we witnessed great success with a similar concept in the City of Stone Mountain at Villas at Park Place,” explained Michael Rosenberg, President of Paran Homes. “We really placed an emphasis on lifestyle when planning and placing this community. In addition to being an affordably priced, beautifully imagined active adult concept, Seaboard Junction is strategically placed in an area that is filled with shops, restaurants, recreational destinations and alluring community events. The nearby Shoppes of Webb Gin offer a blend of boutiques, highly recognizable retail brands and eateries that run the gamut from sandwich shops to steakhouses. In addition to parades, family-friendly festivals and concerts hosted by the City of Loganville, the nearby Cities of Snellville and Grayson also offer fully loaded event calendars. When it’s time to get outside and play, Seaboard Junction homeowners can head to a number of award-winning Gwinnett County parks located within a short drive of the community.”

Homes in this handsome 55+ gated hamlet will feature three of Paran Homes’ most popular quad-style floor plans – The Augusta, The Veranda, and The Savannah. Sophisticated and stylish in their design, all three plans boast 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, 2-car garages, and 1700+ square feet of one-story living space. Buyers desiring a peaceful retreat will no doubt be drawn to the sprawling master suite in all three plans and the airy sunroom filled with windows to let natural light shine in – as featured in the Veranda plan. At the heart of it all, the open-concept design features a seamless flow between the kitchen, dining room and family room – the ideal layout for couples who love to entertain. Walk-up storage above the garage in all three plans will prove a major plus and the quad-style layout is intended to foster a solid sense of community among Seaboard Junction neighbors. Fans of outdoor living spaces will be particularly drawn to the Augusta and Savannah plans, both of which boast covered patios that can be screened in for added enjoyment.

For homeowners who like to put the “active” in active adult, this gated community will soon showcase terrific amenities such as a pool, clubhouse for community gatherings, and loads of green space. Nearby, the 154-acre Bay Creek Park features a lighted tennis complex, softball fields, playgrounds, 1-mile paved walking trail and more. 713-acre Tribble Mill Park showcases a stocked lake for fishing, large network of trails, and pavilions with grills, just to name a few. At nearly 1,300 acres, sprawling Harbins Park offers trails for horseback riding, hiking and mountain biking, as well as several sports fields and all the other features that make a park truly great.

With sales now underway at Gwinnett County’s NEW Seaboard Junction, home buyers who wish to learn more are encouraged to visit the community landing page or drop by the community to select their new home site.
