Swank It Up In This Chimney Hills Townhome

Share News:

Today’s word is “potential.” As in this townhome off of Interstate 635 and Abrams has so much potential. First of all, it’s a townhome, but it doesn’t have any shared walls. That’s one in the win column.

Now remember what we said, it’s full of potential, and therefore priced accordingly. The seller isn’t interested in repairs or updates so it’s a for-real, for-real “as is” situation.

Now put on your best sequin duster and let’s really get to it.


The first thing that catches our eye on the inside? That awesome swoopy staircase and the stair stack fireplace that goes on up to the second floor and becomes ANOTHER fireplace on the reverse side.

The swoop pairs so perfectly with the sunken living area and hideaway wet bar. Host a party, pour yourself a drink, and live it up in your precious new pad.

Okay, let’s talk about those popcorn ceilings. No one cares for them, but you know what? That’s an easy fix. Especially if you do the scrap before you move in. You’ll likely be changing out the tile and carpet anyway so why not go all the way?

There’s another stepdown living area upstairs and somehow in this majestic 2,151 square feet you’ll find four bedrooms, two bathrooms, two living areas, and two dining areas. Plus two garage spaces. How delightful. Park a car and all your bikes. Or a wagon if you want.

Original parquet floor in the kitchen, breakfast nook, and hallway. The kitchen is a good size and with a little paint on the cabinets and a quick switch of the light fixture, it could really be something.

There’s a fantastic walk-in closet in the master and good storage throughout. Not to mention the vaulted-and-beamed ceilings to make living large a real thing.

The best-kept secret of this property? The secret garden behind the home complete with a stone patio and tranquil koi pond. It’s quaint, it’s unexpected and just shaded enough to provide a little relief from the summer heat. This townhome is part of Chimney Hill and the community has a pool and small HOA dues to keep it crystal clear and ready for your next cannonball, though those days seem way too far away. Check it out!!
