Sunlight does much of the work in this one story home in Vistas of Westcreek. It reaches deep into the rooms throughout the day and falls across wood laminate floors that run uninterrupted from space to space. There isn't a square foot of carpet anywhere in the house, which means less to vacuum, fewer allergens to chase, and a continuous look that makes each room read a little larger than its footprint. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and a smooth-top cooktop that wipes clean in seconds after a weeknight dinner. Both bathrooms have updated vanities. Three bedrooms give everyone their own space. The fourth room, set just off the primary suite, is the one that gives you options. It can be a quiet office close enough that your workday starts without crossing the house, a workout room you'll actually use because it's steps from bed, or a guest room with a little privacy of its own. Some of the most valuable features here won't show up in photographs. PEX plumbing runs throughout the house. It's a modern supply line that resists corrosion and handles a hard freeze better than older pipe. Solar Host solar panels on the roof put the South Texas sun to work helping offset your electric bill. The home has been well maintained, and that care is evident in every room. Outside, the corner lot gives the property more room to breathe than a typical interior lot, and a privacy fence encloses the backyard. The covered patio has a ceiling fan turning overhead, which stretches the season for morning coffee and late-evening conversation well past the point where an open slab would be comfortable. The playscape stays with the house, so the yard is ready for play from the first weekend. Past your own fence, Westcreek's amenities widen your options considerably. There are two community pools for long summer afternoons, tennis courts, and basketball and volleyball courts for a pickup game after work. The clubhouse handles the gatherings that outgrow your living room.
