About This Home

Essex Townes – The Litchfield brings modern townhome living to one of Franklin County’s most established and convenient communities. Located within Essex Village, this new phase offers the most affordable and accessible townhomes in the area, providing a low-maintenance lifestyle close to everyday conveniences and major commuter routes. With easy access to Wake Forest, Raleigh, Rolesville, and Youngsville, residents enjoy the benefit of a peaceful residential setting paired with close proximity to multiple thriving town centers.
The Litchfield floor plan features an inviting first-floor layout centered around an open-concept kitchen, complete with a large center island, gas stove, and modern finishes. The kitchen flows naturally to the dining and family spaces, creating an ideal setup for hosting gatherings or enjoying quiet evenings at home. Thoughtful touches—including upgraded first-floor railing—add style and elevate the interior design.
Upstairs, the spacious primary suite provides a relaxing retreat, while two additional bedrooms offer comfort for family, guests, or a dedicated home office. A second vanity in the hall bath adds convenience for shared living, and the laundry is positioned for everyday ease.
Act now and benefit from the opportunity to personalize soft options in the home until December 1st!
