Some homes ask you to keep up with them. This one lets you exhale. Built in 2022 in the 55+ active adult community of Courtyards at Lawyers Road, this three bedroom, three full bath home was designed for the life you're stepping into - not the one you're leaving behind. Morning coffee moves naturally to the screened porch, then out onto a private paver patio courtyard - a quiet, tucked away outdoor space. Evenings end by the gas fireplace. Dinner comes together easily in a kitchen built for people who actually cook with generous counter space, thoughtful storage, and a layout that keeps the cook in the conversation. The ten foot ceilings, eight foot doors with surround sound feels elegant and spacious. Warm hardwood floors carry you through the main living spaces, while carpeted bedrooms stay soft underfoot.

Upstairs, a private bonus room with its own full bath and bedroom gives guests, hobbies, or a home office their own separate space. A walk-in attic solves the age-old question of where everything goes. Outside, the gas line is already run for weekend grilling, so all that's missing is the steak.
