Open House Review: 65 Lakepines

This home is the largest plan in the Lakes Community of Northwood and has a rare attached two car garage. It is a two level townhouse with kitchen, dining area and living room downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs with a jack-and-jill bathroom. I have reviewed the same layout at 180 Pineview which sold in the summer for $437,888. That model had more upgrades in the bathrooms, but 65 Pineview opened up the kitchen wall and created a modern, open first floor.

Asking Price:  $475,000
Bedrooms:  2
Bathrooms:  1.5
Square Footage:  1,366
Lot Size:  1,307 Sq. Ft
Price per Square Foot:  $348

Walking through a little courtyard with townhomes lined on each side, a small open front porch area sits at the front of the home. The front door leads into a small entrance with the living room to the right. Straight ahead are a half staircase leading down to the garage entrance with an indoor laundry closet next to the door, and a half staircase leading up to the dining room and kitchen. The entrance and staircases have wood floors. To the right is a large living room. The room has high ceilings and white tiled floors. Four large windows bring in a good amount of natural light. With two shared walls, there are only windows facing the front and back of the home. All windows are furnished with new plantation shutters.
