About This Home

As of August 2020

This end unit townhouse has a WOW factor for more than one reason! First, it is one of the most unique in the complex with it's gorgeous finished walk-up attic (2005) and bonus room that provide extra living space. Coupled with that, the kitchen has been completely renovated and moved to provide a fantastic dining/living room area with floor to ceiling windows. The first floor bathroom has also been completely renovated to include a gorgeous tiled shower stall. Other fabulous aesthetics are: modern custom blinds in the foyer, a built-in shelf in the second floor living room, modern wooden stairway spindles, beautiful light fixtures throughout, granite in the guest bath and master bath, and limestone shower area in master bath. There are hardwood floors throughout (but bedrooms are carpeted - MBR carpet replaced 2 yrs. ago) and built-in storage areas in attic/office and bonus room that are finished with wood cabinetry. Mechanically, the home is also a move-in dream; two zones for gas heat/central AC, separate AC/heating system for attic area, gas supply piped out to grill on deck, furnace and hot water heater in the 10-12 yr. range, Whirlpool washer and dryer, recently replaced windows in both bedrooms and front door (and two side windows), and garage door and opener replaced 8 years ago. Did I mention the attached garage? If you have been looking for the perfect condo with resort-like living by the water with pool, clubhouse and tennis courts, this is the one!
