This three-level townhome in Thornton Commons delivers more space than its footprint suggests -- with a ground-floor bedroom and full bath ideal for a private retreat or dedicated home office, main living areas on the second floor, and a top-floor primary suite that keeps everyday life comfortably separated from the rest of the home.

The second floor brings everyone together -- hardwood floors, a fireplace, open living and dining space, and a kitchen with room to cook and connect. Step outside to your own deck and patio when the weather calls for it.

Practical details matter too: the HVAC was replaced in 2021, the HOA covers grounds maintenance, and the attached garage adds the kind of everyday convenience that's easy to take for granted until you don't have it.
