Most desirable first-floor, walk-out level condo in sought-after Oakland Mills! Newly renovated top to bottom and priced to sell. The brand-new kitchen shines with quartz counters, timeless backsplash, new cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. New flooring runs throughout, plus updated light fixtures and bath exhaust fans. Two large bedrooms, both filled with natural light — the primary suite is 13'5" x 13' with a walk-in closet, and the second bedroom is generously sized with a double-wide closet. The updated Jack-and-Jill bath is a standout: two separate vanity areas — one entered from the primary suite, one from the hallway — each with its own new toilet and sink, connected by a shared center shower with a new surround. The result is true en-suite privacy for the primary bedroom that still functions as a full hall bath, without ever sharing a sink or toilet. Additional everyday convenience comes from a dedicated in-unit laundry room. The living room stretches over 20 feet, opening to one of the home's best features: a private, brick-paved walkout patio enclosed by a privacy wall, backing to open green space and mature trees — it feels like your own slice of nature. Enjoy the community's outdoor courts just a short walk away — a favorite spot for residents' pickleball games. Don't miss this one — you'll love calling it home!
