579 Point McKay Grove NW

Beautifully renovated, this Point McKay townhome is a coveted end unit, where extra windows along the side bring in amazing natural light. Mature trees frame the covered front porch, and a tidy curb appeal includes a new garage door. Inside, a big, bright entryway welcomes you home and provides access to the single-attached garage. Step up to the main level, where oak hardwood is stylish and timeless, and a gas fireplace in a floor-to-ceiling stone hearth makes a gorgeous statement. Soaring ceilings combine with big windows on two sides, filling the space with sunshine throughout the day. Built-ins create an eye-catching backdrop and enhance the feeling of openness as you step up into the dining room. You will notice refreshed paint and lighting throughout the house, and the windows have all been updated as well.
