Welcome home to 1028 Philpott Drive, a brilliantly designed townhome in the heart of the sought-after Governors Village community where ease and elegance meet. Recently updated with fresh paint and a new HVAC, this home invites you to simply move in and begin enjoying life. From the moment you step inside, an open floor plan flows beautifully for entertaining and everyday living. The gourmet kitchen is a standout, featuring granite countertops, under-cabinet lighting, and a large center island with abundant storage. The living area opens to a covered back porch and private courtyard — a perfect blend of indoor-outdoor living where you can sip your morning coffee, unwind after work, or host a summer cookout. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a separate tub and shower plus a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath and laundry complete the second level. If you like the idea of future expansion, the third-floor walk-up attic (26 × 20) offers possibilities for a home office, studio, or bonus room. Enjoy the community - pond with paved path, tennis courts, the convenience of nearby shops and restaurants, just a short stroll or ride from your front door. For the buyer seeking low-maintenance living, stylish luxury, and a location that supports both work and play, this townhome is the ideal choice.
