About this home
Bring the family and enjoy this recently updated walk-out rambler situated in a peaceful and quiet executive neighborhood. The manicured grounds offer plenty of outdoor gathering spaces complemented by lovely perennials. With school bus stops within walking distance, this home is minutes from pumpkin patches, corn stands, apple orchards, wineries, and I-35. Enjoy the spacious open-concept floor plan featuring a gathering size kitchen equipped with custom cabinetry, updated granite countertops, RO water system, double ovens, and stainless-steel appliances. Unwind with dinner or drinks on the deck listening to the sounds of nature. The generously sized main floor primary bedroom suite is a highlight, along with a formal dining room, vaulted living room, and a second bedroom which would make a lovely nursery. An ADA ramp in the upper garage provides stress-free access to the main level which has an open stairway wide enough to accommodate a lift to the lower level which boasts new high-end anti-allergen cork flooring throughout, sprawling family and game rooms, a wet bar, three more large bedrooms, and access to a walk-out patio and HUGE heated tuck-under garage/shop. Outside, you’ll find raised irrigated garden beds, more gathering spaces, and a graveled fire pit area for gathering. A new septic system was installed in 2020, and the maintenance-free deck provides a perfect spot for outdoor BBQs while you soak in the beautiful natural surroundings. This is a wonderful place to call home! With large closets, solid core wood doors for peace and privacy, high ceilings, Anderson windows, two fireplaces, solid wood millwork, and oversized garages this home is priced SIGNIFICANTLY below replacement cost.

How SODL buyer credits work
When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.
- Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
- Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
- Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing
A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
