Every inch was designed with intention, proving that great design has never depended on excess.

Inside, abundant natural light fills the open floor plan featuring accent wood beams, waterproof Mohawk RevWood flooring, smooth ceilings, Craftsman trim, designer lighting, and sophisticated black hardware throughout. The kitchen steals the show with stacked soft-close cabinetry, waterfall quartz countertops, a generous island, stainless steel appliances, and an upgraded GE slide-in range with a built-in air fryer—because your oven should work as hard as you do. The private primary suite offers backyard views, a spacious closet, and a beautifully appointed ensuite with dual quartz vanities, upgraded tile, and a tiled walk-in shower with a frameless enclosure.
