1608 mermentau street

Tucked toward the front of Park West, this end-unit townhome truly lives more like a single-family home. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a 2-car garage, and one of the more private backyards you'll find in the area, it's the kind of space that's getting harder and harder to come by.The main level is open and easy -- hardwood floors, tall ceilings, detailed trim work, and a bright white kitchen with a large island that naturally becomes the gathering spot. The family room with gas fireplace flows seamlessly into the dining area, making it just as comfortable for weeknight dinners as it is for hosting friends. A walk-in pantry, half bath, and great storage round out the first floor.Upstairs, the primary suite offers generous space, a large walk-in closet,and an ensuite bath with double sinks, abundant counter space, a walk-in shower, and private water closet. Three additional bedrooms share a hall bath with a double vanity and tub/shower combination. The loft provides a perfect homework station or home office (currently used as such), and could easily serve as a small play area or cozy TV nook with a couple of chairs or bean bags. A full laundry room and additional storage round out the upper level. Outdoor living is where this home truly stands apart. The screened porch extends to a beautiful stone paver patio added by the current owner, creating multiple areas to relax and entertain. The backyard is fully fenced with a low-maintenance privacy fence and enjoys the added benefit of having no homes directly behind it  a rare feature for a townhome. Plantation shutters and updated light fixtures add thoughtful finishing touches throughout. The location toward the front of Park West allows for quick access to schools, restaurants, shopping, hospitals, and Costco, while still enjoying the neighborhood's pools, tennis courts, walking trails, and clubhouse amenities. If you've been waiting for a townhome that offers privacy, a real backyard, and room for everyone without sacrificing convenience, this one deserves a look.
