condominiums

There is a new condominum complex being developed by Toll Bros. which is really beautiful. There are 62 units, convenient to everything, but located in a country-like atmosphere. Much attention to detail, granite, stainless steel, center islands. 2 car garages. Lots of crown molding, pillars. porches. They start at $400,000.
