About This Home

Character is something that you don't always expect to see in a new home. Or, so you thought! The Drake Homes Design Team created The Atomic Ranch plan w/ all of the on trend, must have details but also looked back in time and blended in classic Modern Farmhouse architecture. We poured a lot of sunlight & good ideas into every rm. There are a lot of windows, & they are big. They immediately grab your attention & let you know that our team was serious about bringing character & sunlight into this new design. Then, that fireplace. Some are content w/sticking them in an empty corner. Instead, we designed a 4-sided stunner that is sure to grab your attention. We also tucked the steps to the lower level behind it. With its spacious & open feel & high performance yet low maintenance construction, this home may very well be on its way to becoming a new classic-beautifully modern yet a tried & true design. Trees, the creek, and the prairie grasses behind the home belong to the HOA and will not be developed. It is conservation ground.  All information obtained from Seller & public records.
