Rich, warm, and full of light. The Walnut is a spacious first-floor, two-bedroom, two-bath at Gardenside Commons with a striking kitchen and an easy, open flow.

Roommates, guests, a home office: there's real room here, on one level with no stairs to climb. The kitchen is the showpiece. Dark granite countertops, a double sink, warm wood cabinetry, and a full appliance suite including a dishwasher all finished with under-cabinet lighting that makes the stone glow after dark. The open great room is anchored by a ceiling fan and framed by oversized windows, with wood-style floors running through the living areas and soft carpet in the two bedrooms. The layout is built for real life: two true bedrooms and two full bathrooms mean everyone gets their own space, one bedroom enjoys a private walk-in closet, and the primary is served by its own ensuite bath. A relaxing soaking tub and designer lighting round out the baths. A heat pump delivers efficient air conditioning and comfort year-round, with individually controlled heat you set yourself. And the value is genuine: your rent includes heat, hot water, water, sewer, and trash, recycling & compost removal so your monthly budget stays simple.
