Compare this to new construction at $469,000 and the math stops favoring the build. Finished walkout basement, premium appliance package, heated tile bathroom floors, custom cabinetry, and a mature lot walkable to schools, parks, and trails. All standard here. None standard at a builder. Over 2,300 finished square feet, rebuilt inside 2022-2023. Price improved to $469,000, with a one-year rate buydown from preferred lender and one-year home warranty included. The kitchen pairs custom cabinetry and granite counters with JennAir, Bosch, and KitchenAid appliances, anchored by a 1,200 CFM vent hood and opening to a freshly stained oversized deck. The main-level den works as a quiet retreat: tiled fireplace, beamed ceilings, plantation shutters, and built-in bar. Upstairs offers updated bedrooms, heated tile bathroom floors, and second-floor laundry. The finished walkout basement includes a 7.1 surround-sound media room, built-in bar, and flex room ready for guests, a gym, or hobby space. New wood flooring, double-door entry, water heater, softener, and whole-home filtration system. Roof 2015. Move in this summer. Skip the build timeline, the design center, and the upgrade invoice. Tour this week. Bring your new construction comp and do the math yourself.
