In the heart of Ghent—Close to Colley Avenue dining, Harris Teeter, the Naro Cinema, and a scene of cafes, shops, and nightlife. An end-unit townhome quietly cared for, where every major system has been recently updated and the garden has been allowed to mature. New roof (2022), hot water heater (2024), upstairs HVAC (2021), downstairs HVAC compressor (March 2026). Refreshed kitchen with new oven, microwave/vent, dishwasher, disposal, and refrigerator. Primary bath with Jacuzzi shower (2023) and Kohler fixtures. The corner lot gives the house room to breathe. The garden reads less like landscaping than a collection—roses, a Japanese red maple, culinary herbs, butterfly bushes and bee balm, flowering quince, and dozens of bulbs blooming in waves from late winter through fall—the kind of garden no one can sell you new. Washer and dryer convey. No HOA, no condo fees. Ghent end units don't last—schedule today.
