This exemplary single-story townhouse is located near Uptown in the Madison School District. It has 1132 square feet, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a two-car carport. Much of its charm and appeal is owing to its open floor plan and bright and airy feeling. On a typical Phoenix day, the natural light in the main living area is exceptional. The living room has a beautiful gas fireplace, a flat 10-foot beamed ceiling, and floor-to-ceiling windows. With features like the extra ceiling height, tall windows, open floor plan, exceptional natural light, and bright and airy feeling, this home feels much more spacious than its square footage suggests. In the main living area, a breakfast bar separates the kitchen from the living room. If you're in one room and someone else is in the other, you can always see and hear each other, which is great for get-togethers and everyday living. The primary bedroom has an ensuite. Matching dual closets with mirrored sliding doors span an entire wall. A well-lit alcove in the second bedroom is the perfect spot for a desk, be it for homework or a home office. Any kind of cable can be installed in the area with ease via conduit in the wall accessible from the roof. The wall-mounted TV setup in the living room has the same convenient access. The entire house, inside and out, has up-to-date, code-compliant electrical switches, GFCI's, tamper-proof receptacles, and almost 100% LED lighting. Matching bronze towel bars, faucets, and light fixtures are installed in both bathrooms, and an elegant new vanity is featured in the second bathroom.The laundry room fits a standard size washer and dryer. The kitchen also has room for a table and chairs or perhaps a computer work station. Other amenities include a 3'x12' storage room off the carport; a gated private front entry with an 8'x15' courtyard, and a 6'8"x16' partially covered rear patio, both saltillo tiled; wood plantation shutters and ceiling fans throughout; new water heater; generous storage; pantry; large community swimming pool with outdoor furniture and barbeque; easy freeway, light rail, and bus access; convenient shopping; too many restaurants to count, many within walking distance; and setups for wall-mounted TVs in the living room and both bedrooms. All that said, you may still be pleasantly surprised by other features you discover that have not been mentioned here.
