A Floor Plan That Just Works

Step inside an open-concept layout where living, dining, and kitchen areas flow like a good conversation. Light streams through rear-facing windows right into your day, and the heart of the home streams into the outdoors. 2

Sweet Master Suite, Smart Split Bedrooms

Your primary suite is a peaceful enclave with a roomy walk-in closet, dual vanities, and a walk-in shower—no more sharing sink space. On the flip side, the three secondary bedrooms cluster around a shared hall bath with double vanity; privacy-friendly without the awkward sibling hallway traffic. 3

Boot-Friendly Mudroom & Butler-ish Pantry

The two-car front-entry garage opens right into a handy drop-zone with lockers and laundry access nearby—no muddy pawed runs past the living room. Plus, the butler-style pantry keeps grocery chaos and clutter in check without sacrificing style. 4
