Open House Review: 120 Cartier Aisle

Last week, I saw a 3 + 2.5 townhouse at 35 Monroe. This week, I viewed a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom townhouse at 120 Cartier Aisle, which is less than a mile away from the Monroe property. There is a one-car garage with direct access to the townhouse and a second one-car garage in a separate building just a few houses down (the second building is all garages).

The Basics:
Asking Price: $659,900
Bedrooms: 3
Bathrooms: 2
Square Footage: 1,679
Price per Sq. Ft: $393
Lot Size: N/A
Property Type: Townhouse
Year Built: 1992
Community: Northwood – Northwood Villas
HOA: $175 per month / Mello Roos: No
Days on Market 39
Schools: Northwood Elementary, Sierra Vista Middle School, Northwood High School

This townhome is located in the back corner of its building. The entry and garage are on the first floor, but everything else is on the second floor. The staircase makes several turns, so moving in furniture may be somewhat difficult. A short walkway at the top of the stairs offers a coat closet and opens up to the living room.
