Bright New Howard Plan with Bonus Room in Fieldstone
The Howard floor plan at 197 Candytuft Ct delivers the best of both worlds: single-level living complemented by an upstairs bonus room that expands options for a home office, media nook, or playroom. Built in 2026 by Clayton Properties Group and finished in stone-and-vinyl siding, this 1,721 sq ft residence was designed for low-maintenance, contemporary family life.
Step inside to a well-appointed layout where practical finishes meet thoughtful touches. The kitchen is outfitted with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a roomy pantry—ideal for everyday cooking and easy entertaining. The living room centers on a gas fireplace, creating a cozy gathering point while the primary suite is placed at the rear of the home for added privacy. Both full bathrooms continue the quartz theme for a unified, modern aesthetic.
Beyond the main floor, the upstairs bonus room introduces flexible square footage without compromising single-level convenience. With central air, forced-air gas heating, and an attached two-car garage, the home offers comfortable year-round living. Exterior features include a covered back porch, a sodded and irrigated yard, and the peace of mind that comes with new-construction systems and warranties.
Fieldstone's HOA eases daily life—lawn maintenance is included and residents enjoy access to a community pool and maintained common areas. Location-wise, this property sits within easy driving distance of North Davidson Middle (highly rated), Northwest Elementary, and North Davidson High, plus health services and community college campuses. Priced at $332,472 (about $193/sq ft), this home aligns with recent Fieldstone sales and presents a compelling option for buyers seeking new construction, family-friendly features, and straightforward upkeep.

A factual market snapshot around 197 Candytuft Ct.
Lexington’s market currently leans modestly in favor of sellers. With roughly 2.5 months of inventory and average days on market near 45, well-priced new construction in growing communities like Fieldstone is moving steadily. Median sale price for the area sits around $320,000 and one-year appreciation is about 5%, reflecting measured but consistent demand. Single-family new builds in Fieldstone are competitive—recent comps within the same cul-de-sac sold between roughly $301K and $338K, with price-per-square-foot ranging from about $178 to $218 depending on size and layout. For buyers, this means opportunities still exist to secure modern finishes and factory-new systems at market-aligned pricing; for sellers, well-positioned new homes continue to attract attention quickly. Inventory increases from new developments are balancing the market slightly, so timing and pricing remain key. Investors should note rental comparables indicating roughly $1,700–$1,900/month potential, suggesting a gross rental yield near the mid-single digits. Overall, this is a sound window for buyers targeting new construction who want current finishes and community amenities without long holding periods.
