The Exterior and First Floor

821 sits on the end of a U shaped complex of 8 town homes. It has windows on three sides and only shares one wall with neighbors. 821 faces east and receives morning light and avoids afternoon glare. It has a one-car garage with space for additional storage. The first floor includes a small bedroom (great for office space as well), an entry way with closet and laundry room and has a separate entrance to the garage.
The porch is spacious and allows for a decent sized BBQ.

The Living Area

One of the more unique elements of this town home is that the living space is on the second floor. This provides a number of benefits, as it gives you a clearer and less obstructed view of the mountain surroundings in addition to keeping you above pedestrian and car traffic. In other words, it offers privacy. The living area is open allowing for a free flow between living room, dining room and kitchen. The second bathroom (which includes a shower) is also on the second floor.
