Picture a slow morning in the living room, coffee in hand, with sunlight coming through the windows and a view of the trees behind the house. That wooded backdrop is part of what makes this new Al Couto Homes build in the Parks of Tolar feel special. A floor-to-ceiling tiled surround frames the electric fireplace, and just outside, the spacious fenced backyard looks out to the woods with no homes directly behind it. There's room to picture a garden, a place to dine outdoors, or a future pool. Tucked in a cul-de-sac, the home offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 1,970 square feet. In the kitchen, there's room to spread out at the center island while guests pull up a seat at the breakfast bar. Under-cabinet lighting brightens the counters, and an oversized walk-in pantry gives small appliances and serving pieces a place of their own. The details make everyday routines easier, too. The laundry room doubles as a mudroom, with a locker-style cabinet to drop bags and shoes and two separate hanging areas. At the end of the day, the primary suite offers a freestanding soaking tub, a separate tiled shower, and a walk-in closet with built-in shelving, cubbies, and a full-length mirror.
