Set on a rare quarter-acre lot with no rear neighbors and extra breathing room beside the community trail, the home backs directly to the HOA park, pool, and playground while still feeling remarkably private.nnBuilt in 2019 by M/I Homes, the curb appeal lands instantly with Craftsman-inspired architecture, stone masonry, Hardi siding, lush irrigated landscaping, and a three-car garage.
