Upstairs, the oversized primary suite includes a spacious bath and impressive walk-in closet, while every secondary bedroom has a walk-in closet of its own. The extra-large bonus room gives you even more options for movie nights, a playroom, home gym, hobby space, or whatever your household needs next. Outside, the screened porch overlooks an aluminum-fenced backyard with three gates, all on a premium corner lot with added outdoor space. Permanent Govee exterior lighting is already installed, giving you customizable lighting for holidays, game days, celebrations, or simply an extra glow year-round—without ever climbing a ladder to hang lights.
