229 Bracken Court

Artist Nina Paley was on to something when she quipped, ''Don't be original; be obvious.'' Her point: articulating what's obvious frequently conveys more originality than endeavoring to be ''original.'' With her encouragement in clear view, there are several compelling reasons to purchase 229 Bracken Court. It's well located in a cozy, walkable subdivision off Newton Rd, about equidistance from 540 and North Hills. Also, it's an end unit, which means one neighbor not two, more natural light, more accessible yard space, and statistically better resale than an interior unit. Other perks: the roof is less than a year old; the old Masonite siding was replaced with fiber cement; an actual wood-burning fireplace anchors the family room; and there's an outdoor storage closet suitable for gardening tools and a bike. The community amenities include exterior grounds maintenance, a pool, tennis courts, and walking trails. This pluckable townhome is priced competitively and ready for its new owner.©
