New construction in Weathersbee — close to schools and trails
Sales comparison approach using recent new construction sales in the Weathersbee community. Adjusted for size, features, and market conditions.
This recently completed Mungo Homes Coastal Division build on Aviation Drive pairs practical family design with thoughtful everyday details. From the street the two-story, vinyl-sided facade and composition roof present classic curb appeal; step inside and you’ll find a versatile flex room at the entry that can serve as a home office, formal sitting area, or playroom. The ground floor opens to a generous great room and an oversized kitchen island—designed for family breakfasts and casual entertaining—while a nearby powder room and easy flow to the garage make daily routines efficient.
Upstairs is where this plan sets itself apart for families: a large open loft creates a second living area for study, gaming, or media nights, and the laundry room is conveniently positioned adjacent to the bedrooms. The primary suite is roomy, with dual walk-in closets and an oversized linen closet in the bathroom that adds storage most newer homes lack. Both secondary bedrooms also include walk-in closets, a practicality that buyers appreciate and that keeps bedrooms uncluttered.
Outdoor living extends the home’s usable footprint. A covered back porch overlooks a generous backyard on a level 0.12-acre lot — ideal for a garden, playset, or grilling area — while the attached two-car garage and driveway provide parking for four vehicles. Mechanical systems are modern and efficient with electric central heating and cooling and public utilities in place, making move-in straightforward for new owners.
