NoDa, but with your own garage. Barely 3 years old, this end-unit townhome brings together the things that are getting hard to find in one place: modern finishes, a private garage, outdoor space, three bedrooms, and a walkable location. And at 1,600 sqft, it's roughly 250 square feet larger than many of the nearby new builds. Inside, clean finishes keep things easy and effortless. The kitchen features white quartz countertops with a breakfast bar, and all appliances included (washer dryer too!). LVP flooring runs throughout the first and second floors (perfect for pets!). The first-floor bedroom and full bath offer flexibility for guests, a roommate, or a dedicated home office. What makes this unit different? It’s an end unit tucked in the back of the neighborhood, offering extra light and privacy. Step onto the balcony and look out over trees and greenery -- not another row of balconies. And outside your door, NoDa is yours to enjoy. Walk to coffee, dinner, drinks and live music, then come home to a clean, modern, low-maintenance home of your own.
