About this home

This is about as close to the suburbs as it gets within city limits. Temple Place at Lower Mills is comprised of nine townhouse-style homes. The unit features three bedrooms, two and one half baths, and leaves no detail spared, including stainless steel appliances, and blanco quartz countertops. The kitchen tiles are matte grey subway tiles and the bathrooms feature Italian low-maintenance tiling with an organic aesthetic. Throughout the living area are pristine White Oak flooring stained in a natural finish. One-car under garage parking, two separate zones for surround sound, central air, and gas heat, and a private deck all add to the single-family feel of this brand new home. These spacious units are a short distance to Star Market, Planet Fitness, Lower Mills Tavern, Sweet Life Bakery, Yellow Door Taqueria, and New You Yoga.
