About the home
The details buyers ask about first: size, layout, costs, and condition.
What kind of home is 144 Boxcar Way?
144 Boxcar Way is a three-story townhome built in 2022 in the Cumberland Station community of Smyrna, Georgia. It has 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths plus a half bath, and 2,447 square feet across three finished levels, with a two-car garage. The asking price is $599,900.
What are the standout features inside?
The main level is an open concept, with dark wood floors, white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances connecting the living room, kitchen, and dining area. The plan also includes a living room fireplace, a primary suite with a tray ceiling, a spa-style shower, and a walk-in closet, plus a home office nook and a sunroom sitting area.
How much is the HOA, and what does it cover?
The HOA is $275 per month. I will include the association’s current rules, budget, and disclosures with your offer package so you can review exactly what the fee covers before you commit.
What about parking?
There is a two-car garage plus street access in the community. The Cumberland Station location puts you at the I-285 and I-75 junction, so trips around the metro start right outside the door.
Is the home move-in ready?
In practical terms, yes. The home was built in 2022, so the systems, roof, and finishes are recent, and the three finished levels are ready to move into. You should still complete a home inspection before making an offer, and I can share the seller’s disclosure with you anytime.
The buying process
How an offer comes together in Georgia, from pre-approval to the closing table.
How do I make an offer on this home?
Start by getting pre-approved with a lender so you know your number, then ask me for the home’s current details. I will walk you through the offer: price, earnest money, financing and inspection contingencies, and a closing date that works for you. On this listing, compensation is negotiable, so we can talk about it directly.
Do I need a buyer’s agent?
A buyer’s agent brings the local comparison data, contract experience, and negotiation help that most buyers want. I am the listing agent here, so I can guide you through 144 Boxcar Way and its documents, and I am happy to talk through how buyer representation works for your situation. The step-by-step process is on the Smyrna buyer’s guide page.
What happens after my offer is accepted?
The typical steps are the home inspection, review of the seller’s disclosure and HOA documents, the appraisal your lender orders, a final walkthrough, and the closing. Your lender and closing attorney will give you exact dates and figures at each stage. The full process is outlined on the Smyrna buyer’s guide page.
How much will I need for a down payment and closing costs?
That depends on your loan program and lender. The Market Intelligence page for this home includes a worked financing example with current rate assumptions. Your lender will give you the exact down payment, closing cost estimate, and cash-to-close figure.
Are the terms negotiable?
Compensation on this listing is negotiable. Contact me directly for current rates and details, and I will walk you through how it works with your lender and closing costs.
Tours and showings
Seeing the home in person is the best part. Here is how to make it happen.
How do I schedule a tour?
The fastest ways are to call or text me at 770-637-9774, book a time on Calendly through the booking button on this site, or use the contact form. I will confirm a showing time, usually within one business day.
Can you walk me through the home before the ballpark crowds arrive?
Yes. I can schedule a private showing at a time that suits you. Many buyers also like to see the neighborhood twice, once on a game night and once on a quiet weekday, because the energy is noticeably different.
Is there a video walkthrough I can watch first?
Yes, the home page has a walkthrough video with a note that it uses CGI for visual effects and composition, so verify property details in person or against the disclosures. Nothing replaces a real visit, but the video helps you shortlist.
Living in Smyrna near Truist Park and The Battery
What the Cumberland district looks like for homeowners, game days included.
How close is the home to Truist Park and The Battery?
It is within walking distance. Truist Park, home of the Atlanta Braves, and The Battery Atlanta, the roughly 60-acre mixed-use district wrapped around it, are a short stroll from the front door. On game nights you skip parking and traffic entirely.
What is it like living near the ballpark?
There are two versions of this neighborhood. On game days the streets fill with fans and the energy is high. The rest of the year, The Battery works as an everyday district with restaurants, shops, concerts, and places to work. Homeowners here get the excitement without the commute.
What schools serve the home, and where can I learn more?
The Cumberland Station area is zoned to Cobb County School District, currently feeding Argyle Elementary, Campbell Middle, and Campbell High School. The Smyrna schools page covers the zones, what the district offers, and private school options nearby. Boundaries can change, so confirm the current assignment with the district.
How is the commute, and what is nearby for everyday life?
The home sits at the I-285 and I-75 junction, minutes from Cumberland Mall and the Cobb Galleria, with downtown Atlanta roughly 10 miles to the southeast. Smyrna Market Village is about three miles away, and the Silver Comet Trail trailhead is a few minutes by car. The neighborhood page has the full picture.
