About this home

The Designer Collection offers new low-maintenance townhomes coming soon to Hillwood Townes, a master-planned community nestled among lush trees in Sanford, NC. Onsite amenities include a dog park, tot lot and multi-use trails. Positioned just four minutes from Downtown Sanford's boutique shops, dining and vibrant local events, residents enjoy a thriving, connected lifestyle. A rapidly growing hotspot surrounds the area with nearby parks, sports complexes and a future marketplace. Commuters gain quick access via Hwy 421, US 501 and US 1--with Fort Bragg 45 minutes away and Pinehurst's world-class golf just 40 minutes out. This new two-story townhome prioritizes ease of living with an open-concept design. Showcasing a modern kitchen with a center island, a welcoming family room and an intimate dining area, a rear covered porch extends the space further out for seamless indoor-outdoor activities. Upstairs is a central loft that divides two secondary bedrooms from the spacious owner's suite, which includes a private bathroom and walk-in closet. All photos, virtual tours and colors are for representation only, not of actual home for sale.
