This private, gated property is well-maintained with lush landscaping, mature oak trees & a strong sense of community. #218 is a gorgeous 2 bedroom, 2 full bath home that has been thoughtfully cared for & received more than $60,000 worth of upgrades within the past 7 years, including electrical, plumbing, cabinets, flooring, granite & more! Beautiful laminate & plank tile flooring are throughout (no carpet)! Guests are welcomed into the front of a stately red brick building & up a winding staircase flanked by a polished wooden railing & sparkling chandeliers above. Open the ornate front door into a very open space combining the living room & first of 2 dining areas. The dining area has a striking wooden accent wall, a recessed marble-topped cabinet (perfect dry bar for entertaining) & a sleek, lavish, glass-front China or curio cabinet. The adjacent cook's kitchen has new, modern cabinets with granite countertops, gleaming white subway tile backsplash, a deep black matte composite sink, stainless appliances & an easy-clean flat cooktop. The second eating area adjoins the kitchen & has a whimsical window seat under a large picture window. The attached bonus room has a handy cabinet right next to the back door for shoes, coats, back packs, etc. & would make a nice mudroom, an additional sitting area, a child's play area or whatever suits your personal needs. A large butler's pantry leads out of the kitchen & directly into the owner's suite & a lovely ensuite bath with double sinks, granite counters & a tub/shower combo with subway tile. The oversized primary bedroom has a walk-in closet, a wood accent wall & built-in bookshelves that could turn the corner into a cozy reading nook. The washer/dryer is strategically located & concealed behind a door in the hallway between the bedrooms. A very large closet with shelves is directly across the hall. There is also a linen closet outside the primary suite. Lots of storage!! The guest bath has modern cabinets with frosted glass fronts & a tiled shower with a seat/storage shelf. The 2nd bedroom has a large closet & is on the opposite side of the home from the primary bedroom. Both bedrooms, living room & bonus room all have ceiling fans. Two designated covered parking spaces are at the bottom of the private stairway leading directly to the back door of the home. The HOA office is conveniently located on the property. In addition to grounds & pool maintenance, the HOA monthly fee covers water, trash, gas & pest control. The HOA provides a separate electric bill for each condo based on a commercial rate for the entire complex, which saves residents money!
