Question: How does it feel after a downsize?

Answer: A few years ago, I downsized. We moved from a single-family home to a townhouse. The kids were out of college and the question was, do we need this large house. Plus, my business here at McEnearney Associates/Crouch Realty Group is all about downsizing, helping older folks transition and working with estates, so I wanted to practice what I preached.


Sparkling hardwood flooring and a sun-flooded open floor plan emphasize the vast living space this luxury end-unit townhouse features (approximately 3,000 SF).

The main level has vaulted ceilings, an open floor plan with the dining room adjacent to the family room/kitchen which is complete with gas and wood-burning fireplaces. The upper level features two master suites and a flexible third bedroom/dressing room/nursery/office, and further two full baths. From one upper bedroom you can go up another level to a loft space with a full bathroom.
