About This Home
As of April 2025This 4 year old home is better than NEW! Immediate occupancy after close with over 150,000 of improvements-updates- and money everyone has to spend after buying a brand new home. With over 3800 square feet, plus an unfinished basement, and a spectacular 3 season room, with gas log fireplace, and accordion sliding doors for that indoor/outdoor feel. This home has a great "functional flow" to it. Open concept living with a massive Family room (22x18) with 20ft ceiling and cozy fireplace. We have a main level bedroom great for guests with a full bath right out the door. This bedroom can be used as a great private office as current owners used it. Main level laundry room is tucked away from guests and convenient. The 2nd floor has 4 large bedrooms. The primary bedroom is great sized (18x16) with a large bathroom and a massive double walk-in closet (16x13). The 2nd bedroom has its own ensuite. The 2 other bedrooms have a Jack & Jill full bath. The unfinished basement is loaded with potential, and has the rough in for a bathroom. There are solar panels which are FULLY owned and transferable to new owners! Backyard has been fully fenced, trees and shrubs planted. Beautiful brick paver patio with fire pit. The community splash pad and park is only 1 block away. The current price for this model from builder is 724k as a base price. This home is priced to Sell! Buyers home did not sell, so you have another opportunity as this gem!
