About This Home

Looking for more house without the builder wait? This spacious 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers over 2,600 square feet, a desirable corner lot location, seller concessions, and a potential VA assumable loan for qualified buyers (buyer to verify eligibility, lender approval, and assumption requirements). Built in 2022 and located in highly sought-after Redbird Ranch within Medina Valley ISD, this move-in ready house delivers the space, flexibility, and value. With multiple living areas, a large upstairs game room, and an open-concept layout, there's room for everyone to live, work, and entertain comfortably.
