Five bedrooms. Three living areas. Primary on the main. Nobody behind you. If your house feels like everybody's always in the same room, this one fixes that. The primary suite has the downstairs to itself, with two walk-in closets, dual vanities, a garden tub, and a separate shower. Four bedrooms and their own family room are upstairs, so everyone else gets a floor of their own. Downstairs there's a front living room for conversation and a family room with a fireplace for when the game's on. The kitchen's center island looks right into the family room, so whoever's cooking is still part of what's going on. Out back, a privacy wall at one end of the covered patio blocks the side neighbors and gives you a spot to mount a flatscreen. Add a grill or an outdoor kitchen and that's where your weekends go. There are no neighbors directly behind you, so nobody's looking over your back fence, and the 15 acre Garlic Creek Greenbelt is a short walk away.
