About this House

Who says you can't have it all? This brand-new 3-bedroom, 2-bath home sits proudly on a corner lot like it owns the neighborhood -- because it does. At 1,208 sq ft of open-concept goodness, every inch works hard so you don't have to.
The oversized covered front porch is basically begging for a porch swing, morning coffee, and a good excuse to wave at the neighbors. Inside, the open layout means the cook never misses the conversation -- whether that's a win depends on the day.
The primary suite offers a private retreat when you need to escape from the people you chose to live with. Two additional bedrooms give everyone a place to land.
Out back, a large yard awaits your garden dreams, dog's zoomies, or that trampoline you've been eyeing. The attached one-car garage is generously sized -- finally, a garage that fits your car and your stuff.
New construction means everything is new, and the quirks are all yours to create. Bonus -- the Welcome Home Grant program just kicked off April 6th, and there may still be time to take advantage before it closes. Talk to your lender soon!
Come see it before someone else claims their corner of the world! 🏡
