Desirable Community & Amenities: Located in the highly sought-after Baker Ranch community, offering resort-style amenities including three swimming pools, eight parks, scenic trails, tennis courts, a dog park, and a clubhouse.

Cons

Relatively Small Lot Size: With a lot size of 4,749 sqft for a 5-bedroom, 3100 sqft home, the outdoor space may be considered limited for buyers seeking a larger yard or more extensive landscaping opportunities.
Potential Overpricing: The current listing price of $2.78 million is notably higher than the estimated property value of $2.62 million, which could suggest it is priced above recent comparable sales or market expectations.
School Proximity for Younger Children: While high school is reasonably close, the elementary (3.65 miles) and middle (5.5 miles) schools are a considerable distance, which might be a drawback for families prioritizing walkability or shorter commutes for younger students.
