About this home

This timeless townhome showcases the enduring modern design and exceptional craftsmanship of two of America's most renowned architects. Beautifully maintained and freshly updated, the home features refinished hardwood floors and new paint throughout. The main level was designed for both form and function, with a welcoming foyer, large coat closet, and convenient half bath.

The open-concept living and dining room flows seamlessly to a private patio and perennial garden-perfect for relaxing or entertaining.

The primary bedroom includes a cozy home office nook and double closets, while all bedrooms enjoy generous natural light and ceiling fans. The finished basement, newly refreshed with luxury vinyl flooring, adds valuable living space with a comfortable family room, recessed lighting, built-ins, and bookshelves. A large cedar closet and laundry area with a utility sink provide ample storage.Recent updates by the current owner include a newer hot water heater, Pella windows and patio door, updated can lighting, and numerous cosmetic improvements.
