1 Units

Under contract-accepting backup offers. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Forest of the Unicorn The Lakes, this move-in ready two-story townhome offers the perfect blend of space, comfort, and convenience. A pre-listing inspection was completed for added peace of mind. Step inside to a spacious kitchen with stainless steel appliances, an eat-at bar, and enough room for a small breakfast table. There's also a dedicated dining room for more formal meals, flowing into a light and bright living room—ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The indoor laundry room and convenient half bath are located downstairs, along with access to a private front patio through sliding glass doors off the kitchen. Out back, enjoy a second patio surrounded by trees and green space, perfect for unwinding in nature. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and two full baths, all with upgraded newer carpet. The primary suite includes an en suite bath and generous closet space. This home includes two assigned parking spots with plenty of guest parking nearby, and is located in a community with a pool, pickleball courts, tennis courts, and tree-lined streets perfect for evening walks.
