About This Home

Welcome to this meticulously maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch-style home in the sought-after community of Stonewater Creek, where comfort and style meet single-level convenience. Nestled on nearly a half-acre lot backing to a peaceful tree line, this Insight Home offers not only impeccable design but also industry-leading energy efficiency.

From the moment you arrive, the home impresses with lush landscaping, a winding Pinnacle concrete walkway, multiple roof peaks, and a charming blend of vinyl and shaker-style siding. The side-entry garage adds to the home's attractive curb appeal, while a 4-foot extension provides added interior living space. An irrigation system ensures the lawn and gardens remain vibrant with minimal effort.

Inside, the gourmet kitchen is a true standout, featuring a 5-burner gas stove, stainless steel appliances, crisp white soft-close cabinetry with crown trim, pull-out drawers, a pantry, and a classic subway tile backsplash. The breakfast bar is illuminated by lovely pendants, perfect for casual meals, while a separate dining room with crown molding offers an elegant setting for special gatherings.

The spacious dining area and living room are enhanced by a soaring cathedral ceiling and a cozy gas fireplace, creating an open and inviting space. Glass sliding doors lead to a screened porch and a generous deck—ideal for outdoor relaxation or entertaining.

The private primary suite includes two closets (one walk-in) and a well-appointed ensuite bath with a granite-topped dual sink vanity, soft-close cabinetry, a stall shower with frameless glass door, and bench seating. Two additional bedrooms are located at the front of the home along with a full bath featuring a quartz vanity—perfect for guests or family. A convenient laundry room with upper cabinetry connects directly to the garage. Outside, a storage shed offers additional space for tools and lawn equipment.

As an Insight Homes build, this property stands apart for its green construction practices, use of environmentally friendly materials, and award-winning energy efficiency. Recognized by the U.S. Department of Energy as a top-rated builder, Insight Homes are known for remarkably low utility costs, superior indoor air quality, and long-term savings—all without compromising comfort or design.

Located in a popular community with desirable amenities, this home offers a rare combination of thoughtful upgrades, quiet surroundings, and move-in ready condition—along with the performance benefits of one of the most energy-efficient homes on the market.
