The home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 baths and 2,456 finished square feet on one floor, with a fireplace, central air, a primary bath with a walk-in tub, and a bonus room for an office, studio, gym or guests. An attached 2-car garage is joined by a detached third bay, something few homes here can claim. Well known jewelers, the original owners finished the interior with a designer’s eye, with dramatic contrast, decorative detailing and a sense of style you will not find in a builder-standard condo. Step outside to amenities most people drive across town for: pools and hot tubs, a fitness center with classes, tennis and pickleball, indoor basketball and racquetball, a putting green, and sauna and steam rooms. A community trail winds past the pond and through the trees, a neighborhood favorite for an early run or the morning dog walk. Neighbors gather at the clubhouse for community events, and the welcome is genuine. Landscaping, snow removal and grounds care are handled, leaving more time to enjoy it all and making it easy to lock the door and travel.
