Base prices for the townhouses range from $639,900 to $689,900.
Roomier residence: Two model townhouses have been staged by the Alexandria, Va., design firm PFour, and two are unfurnished. The Chase, always end unit, starts at $689,900 and is the widest of the floor plans, at 22 feet, compared with 20 feet for the other three. The ground-floor entrance opens to a foyer and a rec room, in the standard layout, and a mudroom is situated next to the garage. Options for this level include a bedroom suite and a den with a powder room.
The open-plan second floor has the dining space at the center, next to the standard oak-finished staircase, with the kitchen at the back and the great room at the front. A powder room is at the top of the stairs leading from the ground floor. A deck off the kitchen is optional. Operable and fixed vinyl windows on three sides and nine-foot-high ceilings contribute to a light and airy feeling on this floor.
The third floor has the owner’s suite at the rear. The bedroom, with windows on two sides, adjoins a bathroom with two sinks and a glass-fronted shower. A soaking tub is optional. Of the two bedrooms at the front, one is staged as a yoga room to show an alternative use for the space. Off the hallway are the laundry and a bathroom with a linen closet to serve the front bedrooms.
Next door to the Chase is the model unit for the Montrose floor plan, which starts at $649,900 and is always an interior unit.
