Just outside the master is a bedroom that could serve as a sitting room or upstairs den, or if you need it, that rarely found 5th bedroom. The front bedroom has its own marble tile bath and the other three bedrooms share a large family bath which also has access from one of the bedrooms – this very flexible layout is appealing for any size family.

But wait, there's more – much more as you make your way to a surprisingly spacious 3rd floor with two additional rooms and full size bath in between. Skylights flood these rooms with natural light.
This is truly an impressive home as well as the Best overall value in New Construction – it can't be beat on amenities, location or even the square foot price – with nearly 4,800 square feet of living space, 5 bedrooms and 4 ½ baths.  There is also a limited time financing incentive for the purchase of this home which will literally save you close to $100,000 dollars in the first few years.  Be sure you don't miss out on this one – it truly is an opportunity to have it all.
