This charming townhouse is almost too good to be true. It's all about location here, and the clever architecture that makes this home feel bigger than it actually is.

The Observatory Circle location means you'll be in the thick of things, within walking distance to shops and excellent restaurants. This week's featured listing is a townhouse that feels like a detached single-family home – just look and see!

For starters, the landscaping is absolutely gorgeous with plenty of greenery and creeping vines. You wouldn't guess that this was just built in 2002.
