Tucked into the highly desirable Monte Cristo community, this spacious end-unit townhome offers a rare blend of timeless craftsmanship and modern comfort. As you step inside, your eyes are immediately drawn upward to vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, anchored by custom craftsman-style quarter-sawn oak woodwork and elegant elephantine columns. The home’s rich character is further defined by recessed panels, Mission-style hanging lanterns, and stunning built-in bookshelves with mullion glass doors that perfectly complement the warmth of the bamboo hardwood floors. The main level is designed with a wonderful natural flow, where the kitchen-complete with some newer stainless appliances, and a professional-grade exterior vent hood-opens seamlessly to the dining and living areas. From here, the living space extends outdoors to a Trex deck nestled among mature evergreens, offering a peaceful retreat that is already plumbed for your gas BBQ. Retreat upstairs to the expansive primary suite, a private sanctuary featuring double sinks and elegant Carrara marble countertops. This home has been meticulously maintained and updated for peace of mind, including a new electric breaker box installed in 2024, an A/C system approximately five years old, and mostly newer double-pane windows throughout. The fully finished basement offers some freshly new paint, open wet bar, perfect for a media room, home gym, or play area. Living in Monte Cristo means enjoying a resort-style lifestyle where the HOA handles the exterior maintenance, water, sewer, and trash, leaving you free to enjoy the community swimming pool, basketball, and tennis courts. This is more than just a townhome; it is a masterfully crafted retreat in the heart of the city.
