This move-in ready bi-level condo offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, in-unit laundry, an open layout, abundant natural light, and soaring ceilings. Inside, warm hardwood floors stretch across the bright main level, where a clean, neutral palette creates an easy, inviting feel. At the center of the home, the gleaming kitchen is fitted with white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a subway tile backsplash, granite counters, pendant lighting, a pantry, and a breakfast bar with seating. The expansive living and dining area sits just beyond, offering plenty of room to relax or entertain, while sliding glass doors open to the secluded patio. Fully fenced and lined with greenery, this outdoor escape features a deck, paver patio, and raised garden beds, making it perfect for summer barbecues, morning coffee, or dining under the stars. At the front of the main level, a bright bedroom features tall windows, hardwood floors, and excellent closet storage, while a sleek full bathroom includes a double vanity and a glass-enclosed dual-head shower. Downstairs, the finished lower level adds even more flexibility with a second spacious bedroom, another full bathroom, laundry, and additional living space ideal for a gym, office, or media room.
