A new-construction ranch over a partially finished basement, which is what makes the square footage work harder than the footprint suggests.

The main floor is open, with engineered hardwood, high ceilings, shaker wainscoting in the dining room, and built-in bookshelves flanking the fireplace. The kitchen runs quartz counters, champagne bronze fixtures, upgraded stainless, and a large island with real counter space either side of it.

The primary suite is on the main level with a double vanity, tiled shower, and a walk-in closet sized for two people who both own clothes.

Downstairs adds two more bedrooms with large closets, a full bath, and a bonus room, so a household can spread out without anyone being sent to a basement as a consolation.

Backs to green space, with both a deck and a patio. Large-lot feeling, without the mowing.
