It is possible to have your cake and eat it too! This luxury townhome offers a tremendous amount of living space in an extraordinarily convenient location.

This room blends seamlessly with a formal dining room; perfectly proportioned and with easy access to the kitchen. Speaking of the kitchen, this room is undoubtedly the heart of the home and it's sure to impress! Copious amounts of dark cherry cabinetry is accentuated by granite counters and sleek stainless steel appliances. The island includes a breakfast bar area and a pantry is just a couple of steps away.
