MARIETTA, GA - With two new luxurious decorated models now open, Winterfield Court in The Overlook at Marietta Country Club offers country club living, the convenience of a maintenance-free lifestyle and one of the most sought-after locations in Cobb County. The community is being developed by Province-Grace, LLC.

Built on the seventh hole of the new nine-hole Robert E. Cupp-designed golf course recently added by Marietta Country Club, the spacious townhomes at Winterfield Court start in the mid-$300,000s. From 3,100 to nearly 4,000 square feet, most homes have rear entry garages and brick and stone exteriors reminiscent of the townhomes in Charleston or Boston. Some are accented with cedar shingles.

"Elegant country-club living has been our goal at The Overlook," said Hank Rowland with Grace Development Corp. and partner with David Swales in Province-Grace. "The townhomes of Winterfield are spacious and open with three floors of living space. They have many upscale features people expect in much higher price points, including wide staircases, hand-crafted woodwork and plenty of attention to detail."

Imported Italian cabinets, granite countertops and site-finished hardwood floors are standard at Winterfield. The community offers five different floor plans with two, three or four bedrooms and the option for a second fireplace in some plans. Optional elevators are designed into every plan.

"Many of our buyers are adding elevators, recognizing that they may need the convenience at some point," Rowland said. "More and more, we're seeing that people want the finer details, too, such as radius doors, hand-finished paneling, coffered ceilings, stainless appliances, and plenty of extra room for their larger pieces of furniture, family antiques and heirlooms."

Winterfield's two decorated models are distinct. The Abernathy model, which is also the sales center, is designed with young professionals and families in mind. Its pumpkin and sage color palette is fresh and vibrant. The modern Italian styling features furniture with sleek lines, plenty of bright windows and a minimalist style.

The Edison model is decorated in the Southern French country style, with hardwood floors, richly upholstered furniture and antiques. The deep coral and spring green used throughout the home create an elegance from an opulent time in history without being contrived or overdone. It has expansive views of the golf course from the living room, the downstairs study and the roomy master suite.

The homes in Winterfield have oversized two- and three-car garages with extra space and parking for golf carts.

Winterfield is one of five neighborhoods located within The Overlook at Marietta Country Club. The other four are:

Edenbridge -- Customized homes built by Traton Homes that start in the low $600s
Tayside Crossing -- Custom estate homes priced from the high $700s to more than $1 million offered by Province-Grace's custom builder group: Haymore Contractors, John Willis Homes, Province Properties and The Pretorius Company

MARIETTA (Aug.18, 2003) - World-renowned designer Robert E. Cupp of Cupp Design, Inc. has been selected to design the nine hole golf course at The Overlook at Marietta Country Club.

Located in Marietta in the suburbs of metro Atlanta, The Overlook is a 300-acre residential project that will feature four distinct neighborhoods with custom homes from the mid-$300's and luxury homes up to more than $1 million, as well as the area's only golf course townhomes.

The nine-hole golf course will compliment an existing 18 hole, championship golf course at the Marietta Country Club also designed by Cupp. An underground tunnel will connect the two projects. The new holes are scheduled to open later this fall.

"We're very excited to have someone of Bob's caliber involved in the golf course design," said David Swales, who is developing The Overlook as a joint venture with Hank Rowland. "His work has repeatedly been named the best in the nation and most of the world's top players have competed on a Cupp-designed course.

Cupp was senior designer for Jack Nicklaus for 14 years before forming Cupp Design, Inc. in 1984. Since that time, Cupp was named the first-ever "Designer of the Year" by "Golf World Magazine" in 1992 and "Golf Digest" has named three of his courses best in the nation: Pumpkin Ridge near Portland, The Gales in Michigan and Crosswater Golf Club in Oregon.

Cupp-designed courses have played host to more than 50 national and international tournaments, including seven "majors." Pumpkin Ridge, which will host the 2006 U.S. Senior Open, was the first course ever to host two majors within its first five years. Settindown Creek in Atlanta was the site of the Nike Tour Championships for two years. And, East Sussex National in the United Kingdom was named as the permanent site of the European Open.

"Making an additional nine holes fit with the existing 18 holes at the Marietta Country Club was not an easy task," said Cupp. "But through the outstanding cooperation by all involved, it will now be possible to play three different courses."

In addition to golf, residents of The Overtook will enjoy more than four acres of their own amenities, including a clubhouse, five tennis courts, junior Olympic pool with slide tower and a resort-style pool with water feature, 28-acre spring-fed lake and more than 107 total acres of green space.
