MLS No. 2523369

There's a kind of home you walk into and immediately understand.

26832 is one of them. A beautifully maintained 2022 build — five bedrooms, three baths, 2,880 square feet of light-filled living on a 4,500 sqft lot, and a layout that makes sense the moment you cross the threshold.

Walk in, and the main floor opens up. Vaulted entry ceilings. Oversized windows pulling sun across the length of the room. Luxury vinyl plank flooring underfoot. A great room anchors the open-concept space, warmed by a cozy gas fireplace. The square footage reads bigger than it measures.

The kitchen does the heavy lifting. Huntwood cabinetry with abundant storage. Quartz counters and a subway tile backsplash. Stainless steel appliances and a gas range. An oversized island that seats four. And a walk-in pantry with the largest footprint of any plan in Alpine Glen.

Past the kitchen, the room buyers ask about and rarely find: a bedroom on the main floor with its own full bath. Visiting parents. A home office that quietly doubles as a guest suite. Multi-generational living without a renovation. One room, three problems solved.

Upstairs, the primary earns the name. Oversized walk-in closet. Dual-vanity bath. Soaking tub. Tiled shower. Three more bedrooms hold their own. An open loft at the top of the stairs flexes through every chapter of family life — playroom, study, media room, quiet second living space.

Outside, the lot does its part. A fully fenced backyard with concrete patio and established lawn. A 2-car garage with an EV charger and custom overhead storage already installed. Central A/C and high-efficiency heat pump throughout. Over $15,000 in upgrades that all convey with the home.
