Single-level living with a yard that surprises.

This single-level townhome in Meridian sits on a lot that reads more like a private yard than anything you'd expect from attached living — shaded by mature trees and backing up to a patio where a morning coffee stretches into something unhurried. The HOA handles the mowing, so the outdoor space is all pleasure, none of the upkeep.

Inside, the details hold up on a second look: slab granite counters, travertine tile, solid-wood cabinetry, hardwood floors, and nine-foot ceilings with crown molding throughout. The kitchen has a gas range and generous counter space, and the open layout keeps things connected. The primary suite has a soaker tub and a walk-in closet with room to spare. Out in the two-car garage, an 8-by-11-foot workspace with storage cabinets rounds out what is a quietly well-considered home.
