About This Home
As of August 2017Magnificent MOVE-IN READY & nearly 100% detached townhouse in 35 acre Kensington Park! Nestled on a tranquil hillside this "condo" lives like a free-standing house w/yard! Unlike similar units this home has an expanded lower bedroom (100+SF extra) & an expanded balcony which makes outside dining possible. Newer kitchen w/granite & stainless, gorgeous tiles floors & plantation shutters. Garage has ample storage cabinets! 2 Pools, 2 spas, & access by foot to historic Kensington village via the private gate! This home is located close to the lower pool and spa area so the convenience to that and the guest parking is just superb! Flexible floor plan would offer a choice of master bedroom locations: Upper or Lower! Lower bedroom has beautiful built-in bookshelves, a second fireplace, and a walk-in closet as well as access to the covered patio and open space. Please note that the open space behind the townhouse is part of the common area yet it gets virtually no use by other residents. Home has had new paint, new closet built-ins, and new carpet all in the last 15 months! HOA fees are $395 per month plus $15/mo for trash collection...billed together. PARKING: Many people have asked if you can park cars in the driveway. The answer is yes but the HOA only allows this if the garage is available for car parking (ie not filled with storage items)....so that means a car too big for the garage or a 3rd vehicle, etc, can be parked in the driveway. Please refer to the management co for more information on the specific parking rules.
