Old Towne Sharpsburg. 8 minutes from 74+54

Image
I moved to Old Towne Sharpsburg to be closer to Peachtree City while not neglecting my clients and potential clients in and around Newnan. I practice out of an old brick home, now zoned commercial, built in 1869. I am now 8 minutes from the 54/74 intersection in Peachtree City, 7 minutes from Senoia, and 10 minutes from downtown Newnan!
