About This Home

As of July 2024

This spectacular townhome has it all! Super location and very well maintained! This home sits at the end of a row in a small enclave of townhomes called Orchard Brook. As you enter you will notice right away the the seller has done a great job of caring for this home as well as keeping it up to date on all fronts. Really nice kitchen in the front with a large bright window to the outside. The kitchen features white cabinets, oak flooring, and durable Silestone counters, plus a pantry for extra storage. There is a really cool cookbook shelf under the window! Huge open dining room and living room with an opening to the kitchen. There is also oak flooring plus a cozy gas fireplace. (never used by this owner) There is a french door in the rear that leads to a cozy screened in porch. The rear of the home is private and backs up to open space. Convenient 1st floor powder room that was just redone. There are three bedrooms on the 2nd floor. The owner's suite is really spacious and features a vaulted ceiling and a really cool window seat. The en suite bath is really cute with a 4' shower and newer vanity top. This room also features a large closet. The laundry area is super conveniently located on the 2nd floor as well. The next great feature of this home is the lower level family room. This is a really spacious and nice area that is perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The owner is including the sectional as it fits the room so well. There is economical gas heat plus central air, a new water heater, and has an insulated concrete foundation. The taxes and association fees are very reasonable and the location is also perfect. Private yet close to everything. This is a very stately home but also very cozy and welcoming. I think you're going to love it! 1-yr Warranty included with acceptable offer.
