Better than new and very lightly lived in, this beautifully upgraded home in the sought-after La Cima community offers thoughtful design and exceptional functionality throughout. Featuring four bedrooms and two dedicated office spaces, the layout provides flexibility for working from home, hobbies, or additional living needs. The spacious kitchen offers an abundance of cabinetry and counter space, granite countertops, gas cooking, and a walk-in pantry, all opening seamlessly to a separate dining area and a bright living room bathed in natural light from plentiful windows. The bedrooms are generously sized, including one with convenient outdoor access, while the spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat with an ensuite bath featuring separate vanities, a walk-in shower, a garden tub, and a custom upgraded closet with built-in shelving for optimal organization. Throughout the home, upgraded flooring and tile accents add a polished, elevated feel. Step outside to enjoy both a covered patio deck area and an added stone patio slab, creating multiple spaces to relax or entertain. The yard has also been thoughtfully enhanced with a mature crepe myrtle planted in the front just three months ago and two new mature magnolia trees in the backyard, adding beauty and character to the outdoor space. The garage offers additional square footage for storage, while practical upgrades such as a water softener, gutters, sprinkler system, and prewiring for security add everyday convenience. Located within the highly desirable La Cima master-planned community, residents enjoy exceptional amenities including scenic walking trails, a quiet adult-only pool, a family pool, and a well-equipped gym. The vibrant Amenity Center also hosts a variety of community activities and events. With easy access to the best of New Braunfels and nearby San Marcos, this home offers the rare opportunity to enjoy the feel of new construction with the upgrades already complete!
