The River District
Scenic Living, City Convenience
by Dennis C. Martin

John Willis has been building homes that exceed all expectations since 1992. He brings broad experience, a proven track record and a successful team approach to the residential marketplace by building homes of superior craftsmanship. His company, John Willis Homes, has won numerous Gold Professionalism Awards presented by the Greater Atlanta Home Builders Association and was 2005 Builder of the Year. And John Willis Homes’ latest project, The River District at Berkeley Lake, may be one of its most impressive endeavors to date.

Located just seven miles north of I-285 off Peachtree Industrial Blvd., The River District offers commuting convenience coupled with privacy and seclusion. Once inside this exclusive gated community, you’ll find a showcase of superbly crafted luxury homes. Set on the banks of the Chattahoochee River’s flowing waters, The River District offers three distinct neighborhoods, each presenting its own unique qualities and characteristics with architectural features that provide a timeless and enduring streetscape.

Priced from the high $600s to over $1 million, these stunning homes, situated in a private, breathtaking setting, are available in an array of award-winning architectural styles. Home designs include English country, Arts and Crafts, Southern traditional, Low Country and more. These elaborately appointed custom homes provide the discriminating buyer with distinctive designs and spacious floor plans offering today’s most stylish features. Large upscale dining rooms and kitchens are focal points for entertaining, including such features as custom cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplashes, center islands and top-flight stainless steel appliances such as 42-inch Sub-Zero refrigerators, Wolf double ovens with six-burner gas cooktops and Bosch dishwashers. With winding staircases, vaulted and coffered ceilings, and impressive wooden beams that highlight the lavish and refined trim work, the attention to detail is evident and reflects everything that many savvy home buyers are seeking in the construction of a modern upscale and refined home.

In addition, amenities abound at this riverfront community, creating a resort-like setting for both outdoor activity and peaceful relaxation. Onsite features include a pool, a sunset pavilion, an outdoor grill and an outdoor stone fireplace at the pool area. The pool area lies across the river from the ninth hole of the golf course at the Atlanta Athletic Club and provides river access for those who do not have river frontage. Residents also are eligible for membership in the Berkeley Lake Homeowners Association, which provides access to the Berkeley Lake boat launch and beach, picnic areas and playground.

The River District at Berkeley Lake offers
finely crafted luxury homes with timeless
architecture and lavish features.
“The River District at Berkeley Lake offers the serenity and privacy of country living with easy access to city living and Peachtree Corners, fine dining, shopping and other recreation facilities,” says Sonja Sellers, resident Coldwell Banker agent.

So, if you are searching for your dream home, you may want to take a long look at The River District at Berkeley Lake and the well-crafted homes that award-winning builder John Willis Homes is constructing.
