This town home thinks it's a house.  At 1530 square feet it's certainly big enough to be a comfortable house.  It has a private fully fenced yard, an attached garage and an attached carport.

There are three good-sized bedrooms, 1½ remodeled bathrooms, and a new kitchen complete with Corian counters, a Bosch dishwasher and an inset pastoral tile scene created by a local artist.

Real wood floors highlight the living room, dining room and kitchen.  Sturdy tile floors work hard in the entry and half-bath.

Freeway access in easy for commuters going in either direction but your views are of tall trees and wooded hills – no freeway anywhere in sight.

And this town home has something unknown in the condo world: expansion possibilities.  So many of the homeowners have added family rooms, decadent master suites or offices we can show you how easy and inexpensive it is to do.

Maybe this town home really is a house – no, you do share a pool, spa and lawns maintained by someone other than you.  And the high energy efficiency that results in low winter PG&E bills and pleasantly cool interiors on hot Scotts Valley days is similar in all the green-built town homes.

But you can see why the town home lives like a house!
