Expanded New American – ~2,300 Sq Ft, 3 Beds (+Flex), 3.5 Baths

This one-level New American design cleverly expands the ranch footprint to offer approximately 2,300 sq ft of living space. It includes 3 bedrooms (plus a flexible fourth room), 3.5 baths, and thoughtful layout that blends openness with separation.

Striking Facade & Inviting Entry

Symmetrical twin gables flanking the covered entry, complete with six-over-six windows, define the façade—creating balanced and modern appeal 1.

Breathtaking Great Room & Kitchen Flow

Walk in and feel the vaulted great room—add faux beams if you want a lodge-like vibe. The great room spills into a kitchen anchored by an island. Picture your morning coffee under windows that overlook the covered porch 2.

Flexible Living & Smart Bedroom Layout

From the foyer, a flex space sits to the right—perfect as a quiet office, playroom, or fourth bedroom. On the left, two bedrooms share a hall bath. The master suite, tucked in the rear-right corner, gets a cozy fireplace and generous walk-in closet 3.

Everyday Practicalities Built-In

The side-entry two-car garage leads directly into the kitchen, simplifying unloads and carrying groceries 4.
