Rarely available upscale end-unit townhome offering the perfect blend of sophisticated updates, exceptional living space, and remarkably low HOA fees. Featuring two private bedroom suites, 3.1 bathrooms, and partially finished lower level with a brand-new full bathroom completed in 2026, this meticulously maintained residence lives like a single-family home while providing the ease of townhome living. A bright and welcoming foyer opens to a thoughtfully designed floor plan ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The cozy living room provides a warm gathering space, while the dramatic two-story family room is filled with natural light and overlooks the professionally landscaped backyard. Seamlessly connected to the kitchen, dining area, and updated loft above, the home's open layout creates an airy and inviting atmosphere throughout. The beautifully updated kitchen overlooks the remarkable yard and features custom painted cabinetry, quartz countertops, glass mosaic backsplash, Kohler sink and faucet, and Samsung stainless steel appliances including a side-by-side refrigerator, dual oven combination microwave/convection and electric oven, dishwasher, and gas cooktop. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining area offers a wonderful space for formal and informal gatherings while maintaining a seamless connection to the home's primary living areas. Upstairs, both bedrooms are true ensuite suites. The stunning primary retreat features cathedral ceilings, custom Closets By Design walk-in closet system and a spa-inspired bathroom completely redesigned in 2024 with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, designer tile, a curbless walk-in shower with frameless glass enclosure, and a deep soaking tub. The second suite offers its own fully remodeled private bath with equally impressive finishes. The lower level provides outstanding flexibility with a newly remodeled full bathroom, abundant natural light, extensive storage, and unfinished space ready for a future bedroom (owner using as workroom currently), home office, fitness room, or guest suite. Extensive improvements throughout the home include a renovated kitchen, furnace and air conditioning (2018), Marvin windows (2020), Trex deck (2020), roof and gutters (2021), water heater (2026), epoxy-coated garage floor, updated interior doors, trim, millwork, Hunter Douglas shades, smart-home technology, whole-house Wi-Fi and camera system, and Kasa smart switches. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a spacious newer Trex deck overlooking mature privacy landscaping enhancements completed between 2018 and 2025 which includes Black Hills spruce trees, flowering pear trees, hydrangeas, rhododendrons, ornamental grasses, perennial gardens, and professionally installed landscape lighting. Additional features include an irrigation system and a premium Blaze direct-connect gas grill, creating the perfect setting for outdoor entertaining. Offering luxury finishes, modern technology, abundant natural light, and the privacy only an end-unit location can provide, this move-in-ready home presents a rare opportunity for upscale, low-maintenance living.
