This tastefully updated end-unit townhome in the heart of Sapphire Valley offers the carefree ease of lock-and-leave living, yet feels every bit as private and comfortable as a single-family home. Inside, you’ll find thoughtful upgrades and timeless details throughout. The spacious kitchen is appointed w/ granite countertops, newer stainless-steel appliances, and generous work space, making it ideal for entertaining or everyday living. Warm wood floors flow into the open living area, highlighted by soaring atrium ceilings with custom yellow pine tongue-and-groove and oversized windows that flood the space with natural light.

The main-floor primary suite features a walk-in closet & immediate deck access, with a convenient half-bath nearby for guests so the suite remains a private sanctuary. A gas fireplace, easily controlled with the touch of a button, adds cozy ambiance year-round. Upstairs, a fully enclosed second bedroom with its own private bath provides comfort & privacy for family or guests. Additional highlights include a brand-new front deck & staircase, along w/ an upscale storm/screen door that allows for either glass enclosure or open-air breezes.
