Picture this: game nights that spill from kitchen to living room without missing a beat. A backyard big enough for a dog to run laps, kids to build a fort, or you to finally plant that salsa garden.

It’s a flexible stage for whatever comes next. Three bedrooms. Two bathrooms. A bonus room that can be a nursery, office, podcast studio, or yoga space. You decide. The primary suite upstairs?
