Just past the pool and crossing a little bridge over the stream, the home is the first unit to the right. Walking through the front door, you enter into a very spacious living room. With hard wood floors and a large window, the home provides a spacious feel. At the end of the family room is the double door entrance to the master bedroom. To the right, before the bedroom, is a small eating area and a small kitchen.

Off of the eating area is a sliding glass door leading out to the patio. The patio looks out to the stream. It is not a totally private patio, with the sidewalk just past some bushes. The patio area is large enough for a small table and chairs and a bar-b-que.

The kitchen comes equipped with the refrigerator. It is small but upgraded with granite countertops, maple cabinetry and white appliances. A window sits above the sink, with a nice view to the stream and pool area. Although a bit tight, it has good storage and counterspace for one or two people.

Through double doors, the master bathroom is straight ahead and the bedroom is to the right. There is partial separation between the two spaces, which is a nice solution. Guests can also access the bathroom without walking through the bedroom area. The bathroom has a single sink with the matching granite and cabinetry from the kitchen. It still has the original fluorescent lighting above the vanity. Mirrored closets sit to the left and right of the vanity. There is a separate toilet and tub/shower combo. The tub/shower has glass doors, but the track and hardware look dated.

The condominium is a spacious one bedroom home and is a desirable end-unit for the extra windows and light. It is not preferable to have the laundry in a separate building, but the building is just across from the patio. The home is close to the stores and walking paths.
