Like new, but better! Upon entering this popular ranch-style home, the office on your right keeps work private or can serve as additional living space. Just a few steps in, 9-foot ceilings enhance the grandeur of the brightly lit great room, which seamlessly combines the kitchen, dining, and living areas while subtly defining each space. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring granite counters, a glass tile backsplash, upgraded 42″ cabinets, a large corner pantry, a double oven with a 5-burner gas stove, and a center island with a sink, dishwasher, storage, and a breakfast bar. The dining area is designed for gathering, offering ample space for both guests and furniture. The bright, airy living room is filled with natural light from the large window and oversized glass door leading to the backyard. The spacious primary bedroom feels like a 5-star retreat, complete with an ensuite bath featuring large-format tiles, an oversized shower, a double vanity, and a walk-in closet with custom shelving. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry room with an included washer & dryer complete the main floor living space. Out back, the oversized patio overlooks a professionally landscaped yard, with high-end artificial turf for low-maintenance beauty. Better than new, this home includes thoughtful upgrades: tinted windows, custom cabinet pulls, a glass tile backsplash, upgraded fixtures (no more builder chrome), bold yet tasteful designer accent colors, a tankless water heater (no longer offered by the builder), dimmable lighting throughout, a fully drywalled and insulated garage with storage, myQ smart garage door opener, locks, & doorbell, a water softener, & pre-installed solar conduit for easy integration. The open basement with high ceilings is ready to finish. Buffalo Highlands is a community-oriented neighborhood with annual events including movie nights, food truck gatherings & street markets. Enjoy parks, trails, & a brand-new 2-acre city park.
