Craftsman New-Build with Upgraded Kitchen and Detached Garage
You’ll notice the Rosa package curb appeal the moment you pull up — a fresh craftsman façade and a tidy front walk that give this new-build a personable, established look despite being brand new. Step inside to 1,840 square feet of carefully considered space: luxury vinyl plank flooring runs through the main living areas and up the stairs, unifying the home with a durable, low-maintenance finish.
The main level centers around a family room anchored by a fireplace that opens directly to an upgraded kitchen. The kitchen pairs smoky blue lower cabinetry with crisp white uppers, under-cabinet lighting, a farmhouse sink, gas range, soft-close drawers, and a built-in trash cabinet — details chosen for everyday ease as well as visual interest. A large mudroom with a built-in bench organizes shoes and backpacks out of sight and leads to the rear alley where the two-car detached garage sits.
Upstairs the primary suite feels private and practical with two walk-in closets and a bathroom outfitted with a shower niche and ceramic tile pan. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath with a second sink, and the laundry closet includes a stacked washer/dryer setup for compact convenience. Thoughtful touches throughout — consistent flooring, clean finishes, and purposeful storage — make this house immediately livable.
