About this home
Welcome home to this beautifully updated 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome located in the desirable Forest of the Unicorn community. From the moment you arrive, the charming landscaping and inviting curb appeal set the tone for what awaits inside. Step into a spacious living area featuring ceramic wood-look tile flooring, crown molding, fresh interior paint, and an open, comfortable layout perfect for everyday living or entertaining. The fully renovated kitchen is a standout, showcasing custom wood cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and thoughtful finishes throughout. Just off the kitchen, the laundry/utility room includes a washer and dryer along with additional storage space.
