Unit B10 at Commonwealth Gardens is a multi-level residence spread across three floors, offering a well-organized layout with distinct living zones. The main living level showcases warm hardwood flooring throughout, with natural light streaming in through multiple windows fitted with blinds. The open flow between the living and dining areas creates a generous, airy feel, with crown molding adding a refined architectural detail. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with dark espresso cabinetry, dark countertops, and a neutral tile backsplash. Stainless steel appliances include a gas range, built-in microwave, and dishwasher. A peninsula with pendant lighting bridges the kitchen to the adjacent dining area, which is further enhanced by a chandelier overhead. Tile flooring in the kitchen provides a clean contrast to the hardwood in the surrounding spaces. The bedrooms continue the hardwood flooring theme and benefit from good natural light through well-positioned windows. The bathroom features a tub and shower combination enclosed by sliding glass doors, with neutral stone-look tile surround adding a clean, modern finish. The lower level offers a spacious unfinished basement with painted concrete floors and white block walls, housing the washer and dryer — providing practical utility and additional storage space.
