The townhome located near Stacy Road and North Central Expressway, less than a mile from Allen Premium Outlets and The Villages at Allen, where you can shop your heart out everyplace from Banana Republic and Babies R Us to Whole Foods and HomeGoods.

It’s a five-minute drive from the huge Allen Station Park, with baseball and softball fields, playground, trails, and washer courts. At the south end of the park is the Edge @ Allen Station Park, featuring a 37,915-square-foot concrete skate park, two roller hockey rinks, BMX track, and visitor center. There’s also a state-of-the-art wakeboard park nearby.

This property is zoned for the highly rated Allen ISD. Boon Elementary School earns a 10 out of 10 score at GreatSchools.org; Ereckson Middle School earns a “10;” and Lowery Freshman Center earns an “8” (Allen High School is not rated by the GreatSchools website, but U.S. News & World Report gives it a silver medal ranking).

This townhome won’t break the bank, listed by David Maez with Vivo Realty Group for $229,900.

The entryway opens to the stairwell and a space being used as a breakfast room, with tile floors and soaring ceilings. The townhome has an open floorplan downstairs, so the spaces flow easily from one room to another.

The living room is bright and open, with recessed ceilings, fans, and a neutral color palette that carries throughout the house.

The kitchen is updated with granite countertops, tile backsplash, and black appliances. There’s a breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, and large space for a kitchen table. Nearby is the half bath (both full bathrooms are upstairs) and a utility room with full-size washer/dryer hookups.

Upstairs, the owner have installed gorgeous hardwood floors throughout. Pictured above is a second living area, which looks over the entryway.

The master suite includes a bathroom with a soaker tub, two sinks, walk-in glass shower, medicine cabinet, and lots of storage.
The second bedroom and full-size bathroom are both upstairs, and offer plenty of options.

This zero-lot-line Allen townhome is perfect for someone looking for little yard upkeep, but still some outdoor space. A small fenced backyard offers privacy, as it backs up to a brick wall.

Overall, there’s a lot here and a little price tag for someplace with a central Allen location.
