The first-floor primary suite is a true retreat, offering a large bedroom, an oversized walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bathroom finished with beautiful tile. A laundry room and mud room off the two-car garage keep everyday life organized right where you need it. Upstairs, two additional large bedrooms each feature walk-in closets and share a full bathroom, perfect for family, guests, or a home office. Built-in peace of mind comes standard with a generator, and there's plenty of room to make this house your own, including space to add a back porch and enjoy the level, creekside yard. Surrounded by beautiful homes on a peaceful street, this new construction farmhouse offers the rare combination of privacy and convenience in one of Highlands' most charming neighborhoods.
