This charming Columbia townhome, located in the guard gated neighborhood of DC Ranch Country Club, is situated on a premium lot backing to a grassy pocket park. The single level floor plan offers an open and bright great room with a neutral color palette, soaring ceilings and large windows that provide lots of natural light. The family room features a gas fireplace with tile surround, and a custom bar-height built-in table between the family room and kitchen provides a casual eating area. French doors in the family room and a sliding door in the kitchen both open to a covered paver stone patio overlooking the grassy common area park with an outdoor fireplace and a meandering pathway that leads to the community pool, spa and workout room, just two minutes away. The kitchen offers a sunny breakfast nook with views of the park, a center island, granite countertops, soft close cabinetry, and a gas cooktop. The spacious master suite has sliding doors that open to a private, south-facing patio, a large ensuite bath and an oversized closet. The guest bedroom has its own private ensuite bathroom, and a large office/bonus room is located right off of the family room. A custom built-in cabinet with an under-counter wine fridge, designer light fixtures at the entryway and dining room, and a brand new (May 2024) custom front door, are just some of the many thoughtful recent upgrades. The home also offers a new tankless water heater, remote water monitoring and shut off, and a whole house water filtration system. This home is located within an easy stroll along the pedestrian walking path to Market Street's fine dining and shops, and less than a mile to the Desert Camp Community Center and to the Country Club at DC Ranch. The HOA fee includes exterior maintenance of the unit, roof repair, building insurance, as well as access to the pool, spa and fitness room within the Columbia neighborhood. It also includes access to DC Ranch's extensive trail and park system (47 parks connected by over 50 miles of landscaped walking paths and trails) and to the Desert Camp Community Center, which offers a fitness center, lap pool, kids' pool, pickleball and tennis courts, a sport court, and many social events.
