Sleek, light-filled and low-maintenance, this three-story townhome delivers a wonderful community of neighbors and the lock-and-leave lifestyle East Dallas buyers keep asking for, without giving up space to actually live. The second level is the heart of the home: a 21x17 living room opens directly to a chef's kitchen anchored by a quartz island with seating for four, a five-burner gas range under a stainless chimney hood, crisp white shaker cabinetry, geometric tile backsplash and a built-in microwave tucked into the island. Wide-plank hardwoods run throughout, and a wall of sliding glass opens to a covered balcony with a warm wood-slat ceiling and café lighting, an outdoor room that works as easily for morning coffee as it does for a full dinner party. A powder bath on this level keeps guests off the bedroom floor. Upstairs, both bedrooms are private retreats with their own baths and walk-in closets. The primary suite is finished in large-format marble-look tile with a frameless glass walk-in shower and dual vanities; the second bedroom lives large enough to double as an office, studio or guest suite. An oversized attached two-car garage sits on the ground level with direct interior access and a flexible entry landing, rare storage and security for the neighborhood. Set behind a gated lawn in a small enclave of contemporary homes, with Greenville Avenue's restaurants, coffee and shopping just minutes away.
