Wake up to sparkling pond views in this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 4-bath townhome. With a vaulted, light-filled main floor and inviting spaces throughout, this home blends modern style with the peace and beauty of waterfront living. An extensive 2024 renovation means everything feels fresh and new, from all new flooring and paint to the kitchen and master suite, and more. Stylish and bright, the main level showcases timeless white oak cabinets and trim, while the remodeled kitchen shines with quartz countertops, tile backsplash, new appliances, and updated finishes. The vaulted master suite is a true retreat, featuring a spa-like bath with a huge walk-in shower, custom shelving, and updated flooring, fixtures, and lighting. A second main floor bedroom would also make a perfect office. Upstairs, a generous landing would make a great reading nook or hang out spot, and an extra flex space is perfect for an exercise room or craft room—plus a third bedroom ensuite for privacy and convenience. The finished basement is light and bright with daylight windows and includes a fourth bedroom, full bath, and abundant storage, along with spacious living areas. Recent improvements also include a new roof, cedar deck overlooking the pond, Pella patio door, blinds and more. Truly, the updates are too many to mention. You can find them under the documents tab. For added peace of mind, the furnace and A/C were replaced in 2016. With its open design, extensive updates, and unbeatable pondside setting, this move-in-ready townhome offers the lifestyle you've been waiting for.
