Built by D.R. Horton, yet truly one of a kind, this Northstar residence was originally constructed for the builder's own niece-resulting in distinctive upgrades & expanded living space you simply won't find in neighboring homes. This corner lot home with brick exterior offers timeless curb appeal & low maintenance durability. A covered front porch welcomes guests, while the covered back patio & storm doors on both entries add comfort & energy. Step inside to rich wood-look ceramic plank flooring that delivers the beauty of hardwood with the durability & easy care today's buyers appreciate. The extended family room creates a more spacious gathering area & is anchored by a raised-hearth Austin stone fireplace-both a stunning focal point & a cozy setting for holidays & quiet evenings alike. The open-concept design flows effortlessly into a chef-inspired kitchen featuring white quartz countertops for lasting elegance & resilience, custom cabinetry for enhanced storage, stainless steel appliances, a gas range for precise cooking, built-in microwave, & a striking white mini subway tile backsplash in a herringbone pattern for architectural flair. A built-in office cubby provides a dedicated workspace without sacrificing living space. The foyer & mudroom showcase custom wainscoting, bench seating, & storage pegs-perfect for keeping daily life organized. The private primary suite offers quartz countertops, an oversized walk-in shower, & a generously sized closet. Three secondary bedrooms, each with ceiling fans, are thoughtfully separated for privacy. Outdoors, the spacious backyard with mature grass & shed and a patio gas line adds versatility. Residents of Northstar enjoy resort-style amenities: pools, splash pad, playgrounds, trails, & community events. With quick access to 287, I-35W, Alliance Town Center, & major employers like BNSF, Amazon, & the Alliance corridor, plus abundant dining & shopping, this home offers lifestyle & convenience in one exceptional package.
