Woodbridge Two Level Condo in Inner Loop

12 Willowgrove $675,000

Turning off Warner onto West Yale Loop, and then onto Willowspring leads you to 12 Willowgrove, an immaculate two level inner loop condo that is long on finish but tight on outside space. Brand new to the market, about 4 days, this 3 bedroom, 2.25 bath home presents very well and attracted steady traffic this past weekend. The broker said it was already generating offers. This condo has one attached wall at the garage and looks and feels like a single family home in many ways. The element missing is a good sized outdoor space.

Significant Numbers: Built in 1978, the 1,825 sq. foot home has HOA dues of $346, at $370 a square foot. The lot is 2,500 sq. ft. All bedrooms are upstairs.

Close up: Nicely situated in a secluded inner loop area, the wrought iron gate opens to a front and side patio that's beautifully done in designer rock flagstone, accented with beds of roses and raised planter beds. Inside, the sleek wood entry leads to a large carpeted living room with a designer mantle marble finish fireplace and large shuttered windows. It's paired with a good sized formal dining room.

The wood floored all white kitchen with warm wood accents and the family room overlook the patio/atrium. Doors open to the patio. There is a powder room to the right off of the front entry.

Upstairs, the master suite includes two large closets and a bath with double sinks, granite counters, and a large shower.

Custom shutters throughout, coupled with sleek wood floors and snowy white carpet give this light filled home a poised elegance.
