Our most affordable starter home for a family, the Bridger takes advantage of every one of its 1,664 square feet. Walk through the front door into a defined entry that serves as a drop zone for coats, shoes, and bags. A galley kitchen overlooking the dining and kitchen means mom and dad can keep a close eye on young children playing on the main floor. Use the large island for craft projects, breakfast, or entertaining friends.

A light-filled study area at the top of the stairs can be used as a TV room, a play room, or for actual studying. This space separates the master suite in the front from the equal-size back two bedrooms. Or add the family room expansion for even more room for the kids to play.

Owners will love the en-suite master bath and walk-in closet. With the expanded family room option, the master bath grows to accommodate an optional soaker tub. Laundry on the second level means no schlepping clothes up and down stairs. A linen closet boasts built-in shelving for extra linens and detergents.

Included energy-efficient features are: A/C, Andersen Windows, Rheem 95% efficient furnace, Energy Star Whirlpool Appliances, tankless hot water, underground programmable sprinklers for landscaped yard, and the ComfortBuilt insulation package by Owens Corning. Don’t forget you also get a 10-year warranty!
