5024 Knotty Alder Dr Why wait to build when this nearly new home already has the upgrades, backyard, and convenience buyers want-without the construction delays or added expense? Just 1.5 years old and truly better than new, this move-in-ready home offers finished details that new construction often leaves behind: landscaping, fencing, an extended patio, custom steps, window treatments, and more. A welcoming covered front porch leads into a bright, open floor plan with 9-foot ceilings and thoughtful upgrades throughout. The spacious family room is anchored by a gas fireplace with a marble surround, while the kitchen is ready for everyday living and entertaining with 42-inch cabinetry, Silestone countertops, a breakfast bar, oversized pantry, GE appliances that stay, and convenient main-floor laundry-with washer and dryer included. Upstairs, a custom picture window fills the staircase with natural light and leads to four generous bedrooms plus a flexible loft-ideal for a home office, playroom, workout space, or second living area. The private primary suite offers double vanities and two walk-in closets. The backyard is where this home truly stands apart. Set on one of the larger lots in the subdivision, it features an extended patio, custom composite-and-wood steps, black aluminum fencing with three gates, a dedicated garden area, and peaceful views with frequent deer sightings. The unfinished lower level is ready for your vision, complete with an egress window, rough-in plumbing, sump pump, and radon mitigation system. And with a roof replaced just six months ago, you can move in with added peace of mind. Conveniently located near Seckman Road, major highways, shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences-plus just minutes from Mastodon State Historic Site-this home offers the rare combination of newer construction, completed upgrades, a standout lot, and room to grow.
