This beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath, 2,215 sq ft end-unit townhome in Renaissance Park delivers the perfect blend of modern comfort, elevated design and amenity-rich living. From the moment you arrive, this corner-lot gem sets the tone with its charming large front porches-ideal for morning coffee, evening unwinding, or greeting neighbors in this highly social, community-centered neighborhood. Inside, the home shines with brand-new carpet, new interior paint throughout, and rich hardwood floors flowing throughout the entry, dining room, breakfast room, kitchen, half bath, and the gorgeous light-filled, two-story family room anchored by a cozy gas fireplace. Elegant crown molding and wainscoting add warmth and refinement throughout the main level.
