About This Home
As of September 2020Welcome home to this meticulously maintained contemporary split in the fabulous neighborhood of Princeton Landing. When you walk in to the large foyer, your eyes will immediately be drawn to the cozy garden courtyard. This Sayre Model home was built around a completely private atrium, open to the sky, a secure play area for pets or to house a hot tub. This design allows for cross-breezes to the kitchen and master bedroom, and provides abundant natural light for plants. The updated gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, high-end Kitchen Aid stainless steel appliances and a U-line wine cooler. The designer backsplash and greenhouse window are focal points. The open concept living and dining room area features vaulted ceilings and a wood fireplace. Upstairs, the owner's suite is generously sized and features a dressing area, walk in closet and completely renovated four-piece master bath with oversized custom tile shower, sumptuous soaking tub and double sinks. The second bedroom is currently being used as a TV room. The second upstairs full bathroom services this room. The large private rear deck is maintained by the HOA, and overlooks the beautiful park-like grounds. There is a two car garage with indoor access and a large daylight basement with tons of natural light, built in shelving, a cedar closet and brand-new top-of-the-line Samsung front loader washer and dryer. There is nothing to do but move in! This townhome features a New Roof, new chimney cap, many newer windows, two new Pella doors, Bruce hardwood floors, updated mechanicals including 2 stage hi efficiency HVAC, Water Heater, updated flooring throughout. The neighborhood itself is vibrant with walking paths, a beautifully landscaped Olympic sized swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, tot lot and toddler pool. The clubhouse is great for gatherings and can be used for private parties. (The current owners were married there!) Fully equipped kitchen, slate top pool table, ping pong table, exercise room, etc. Princeton Landing is a pet friendly community and was designed for privacy with extensive berms and mature landscaping.
