    A gorgeous townhome that lives like a single-family home. This updated Tarquin townhome in the Lakelands has 3 bedrooms plus 3 bonus rooms across four finished levels, with 2 full and 2 half baths and a detached 2-car garage. The big-ticket updates are already done. Main level: The hardwood floors were refinished with a custom stain in 2025. The rooms are bright, with crown molding, columns, wainscoting, and tray ceilings. The family room has a gas fireplace and opens to the eat-in kitchen, which has an island, granite counters, 42" white cabinets, a gas cooktop, a wall oven, and a pantry. Stainless appliances include a new LG refrigerator (2025) and a Bosch dishwasher (2021). A formal dining room gives you a separate space for dinners and holidays. Bedroom level: The primary suite has two walk-in closets and a bath with a soaking tub, a frameless glass shower, and a double vanity. Two more bedrooms and a full hall bath complete this level.
