Capital City Club and Historic Brookhaven
Posted by Kevin Knox on Friday, November 5th, 2010 at 9:02am.If you want to be close to everything Historic Brookhaven is your spot. The best food, shopping, and night life is just minutes away. Historic Brookhaven dates back to 1900 and was a spot that Atlantans built summer cottages. By 1910 that same group gathered some investors to build the "Brookhaven Estates" and the Brookhaven Country Club. In January 1912, the Brookhaven Country Club opened as Atlanta’s second golf course after East Lake. Atlanta’s Capital City Club leased the Brookhaven Country Club in 1913. When the Capital City Club purchased the Brookhaven Club in 1915, the golf course was expanded from nine to 18 holes. Word spread about this new area and by 1928 there were almost 20 estates surrounding the club. 57 years later in 1985 through efforts of John R. Brannen and his submittal of paperwork to the Historical Preservation Section of Georgia Brookhaven was turned into "Historic Brookhaven".
Those summer cottages and estates are now some of the most sought after properties in Atlanta. The 28 homes around the course has expanded to hundreds of properties. If you haven't driven through this area you are missing a collection of one of a kind home designs that range from all kinds of architecture. The spacious lot sizes and the old oaks give great character to each home. The Club has over 1200 members now and has 2 golf courses. They have Capital City Brookhaven which was just redesigned and the North course at Capital City Crabapple. Both are amazing properties with tons of amenities.
With in 2 miles of the Capital City Club homes range from the $200,000 condo to the $2million dollar estate. Now is a perfect time to buy with current interest rates and the current home prices being so low. If you can't afford to be next to the course there are currently about 100+ single family homes with nice lots between $400k-$700k just minutes from the club. Let me know how I can "help. A great way to quickly look at all the current listings is on the Hirsh Real Estate Specialists website.
