This DR Horton home in New Braunfels' Heather Glen community, built in 2021, answers a question a lot of buyers struggle with: how do you get real square footage and separation of space without committing to a full two-story climb? The one and a half-story floorplan is the clever compromise. Nearly everything you use daily stays on the main level, while a single staircase leads to an extra area upstairs that keeps noise, guests, and downtime at a comfortable distance. The main floor is built around a living room that opens upward to a loft-style gameroom above, giving the central space a sense of volume that flat nine-foot ceilings can't match. High ceilings carry through the home, and the layout keeps the kitchen, dining room, and living area in easy conversation with one another without dissolving into a single undifferentiated box. The island kitchen is the workhorse here, with gas cooking for anyone who takes their stovetop seriously and stainless steel appliances that hold up to regular use. A separate study near the front gives you a real door to close, whether that means video calls, homework, or a quiet corner that isn't the kitchen table. Three of the four bedrooms sit on the main level, including a primary suite with a bath designed for two schedules running at once: a separate soaking tub and shower, plus a dual vanity that ends the morning traffic jam. Upstairs, the fourth bedroom pairs with a full bath and that open gameroom, a combination that works equally well
