Not all Countrywood homes are created equal, and this is one of the special ones. Tucked into a private corner of the community, 2001 Countrywood Ct is a rare single-story, 2-bedroom, 2-bath home with 1,036 sq. ft. and a location that’s hard to beat. Instead of looking into another home, your backyard opens to the greenbelt, giving you greenery, breathing room, and a level of privacy that can be hard to find in townhome living. Inside, the layout is comfortable and easy, with everything on one level and a primary suite featuring its own full bath with new flooring. But one of our favorite surprises is actually in the garage. Unlike many homes in Countrywood, this one has an oversized ATTACHED garage, and tucked inside is an additional finished room that isn’t included in the listed square footage. Home office? Peloton room? Yoga studio? Glam room? Salon? Art space? A place to hide from everyone else in the house? You’ve got options. Add in the corner-unit location, peaceful greenbelt setting, no neighbors directly behind you, and one of Countrywood’s coveted single-story floor plans, and you have a home that offers something a little different: privacy, flexibility, and a space that just feels good to come home to.
