About this home
Set in a bright and sunny corner location, this exceptional standalone 3-bedrm, 3-bath townhome offers a rare combination of privacy, luxury, & low-maintenance living. Originally custom built for the developer, the home showcases a thoughtful design and a long list of quality upgrades throughout.

Inside, the craftsmanship and attention to detail are immediately evident. The interior features hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, oversized windows that fill the home with natural light, custom millwork, built-ins, solid wood doors, premium cabinetry, and upgraded fixtures and countertops. A deluxe built-in gas fireplace creates a warm and inviting focal point in the main living area, while Onyx sinks and a main-level primary suite add to the home’s refined finish. The layout is both elegant and functional, with spacious principal rooms and plenty of room for everyday living and entertaining. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with multiple terrace and sitting areas, along with a private garden space that extends the enjoyment of the home beyond its interior walls.
