In a watercolor rendering, a two-story home is showing in light green with a detached garage. — With four bedrooms and 3,000 square feet, “Residence 8” is priced at $1,760,000.

Just up the street from Piedmont Park, a community of nine homes by the builder of residential sections at Serenbe, Glenwood Park, and Alpharetta City Center is promising a fresh take on Atlanta infill housing.

Hedgewood Homes expects to finish the first houses at their Rock Spring project by late this fall, located next to historic Rock Spring Presbyterian Church off Piedmont Avenue, according to marketing reps with Brightstar at Compass.

These “right-sized” offerings are big—ranging from 3,000 to 4,000 square feet, plus options for interior expansions—with prices to match. They start north of $1.5 million and climb to $1,835,000.

The site, which curls around the landmark church, is located in the Piedmont Heights neighborhood, bordering Morningside-Lenox Park, Ansley Park, and Interstate 85.

The exterior aesthetic by noted designer Lew Oliver—a New Urbanist whose designs span the metro, from Cumming’s Vickery Village to Serenbe and Pinewood Forest—aims to be timeless yet modern.

Expect cedar-shake roofs, gardens maintained by a designated gardener, and space for parking three vehicles.

The overall community design is by Pam Sessions, president of Hedgewood Homes, which is also behind the nearby Manchester community and a forthcoming Lake Claire townhome project.
