Picture yourself unwrapping the holidays in a home that already feels like yours. Move in before Thanksgiving and settle onto a street where the lawns are lush, the neighbors are new friends, and the last of the construction dust has finally settled. Welcome to 249 Freedom Lane, an extraordinary Franklin Model by Traditions of America at Rose Ridge; a 55+ community. Barely a year old, this home delivers every upgrade you'd dream of in new construction, minus the wait, the decisions, and the guesswork. Step inside and you'll find a rare combination of builder craftsmanship and owner-driven refinement, backed by a full list of upgrades ready for your review, so you can see exactly how this compares to building from scratch. Designed with the ease of ranch-style living in a two-story footprint, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home unfolds across a sun-filled, open floor plan. Rich LVP flooring flows underfoot, plush upgraded carpet warms the bedrooms and second floor. A chef-caliber kitchen anchors it all: stainless appliances, soft-close cabinetry with pull-out shelving, quartz countertops with a dramatic matching backsplash, and a trio of pendant lights glowing over the island. Step through to a screened porch and private patio, where the view stretches across open green space to sun-drenched hills in the distance. Retreat to a primary suite built for real living: two oversized walk-in closets, a spa-inspired bath with dual sinks and a knee-space vanity, and a 5' x 4' zero-entry shower wrapped in tile with a frameless glass door and built-in bench. Every space that matters was made bigger. The primary suite, the great room, the kitchen, the porch, the patio, even the garage were all expanded beyond the original blueprint. At just over 3,000 square feet, you'll have room to breathe and space to make your own. Extra windows and enlarged panes flood the home with light, while transom windows add privacy without sacrificing brightness. A main-level guest bedroom sits beside a full bath finished in granite and glass. Out front, a light-filled living room doubles as a home office behind elegant double French doors. Upstairs, a loft big enough to redefine the word leads to a third bedroom and full bath, a private wing for guests or family who stay awhile, plus two oversized storage rooms for everything else. Six upgraded Kichler ceiling fans throughout the home. Then there's the neighborhood itself: a brand-new 8,000-square-foot clubhouse with a multilevel pool, full fitness center, locker rooms, meeting and media rooms, a golf simulator, a dog-washing station, and outdoor bocce and pickleball courts, all connected by walking trails. Skip the nearly yearlong build, the endless selections, the appointments, the phone calls, and all the decisions that come with new construction. Step straight into a home that's already finished, already upgraded, and ready for you to enjoy. What's left is a move-in ready home with premium finishes, standout upgrades, and real value in one of the area's best locations. This home is a must see!
