Estimated November 2026 completion! Ask us about our Trade In Trade Up program, we can buy your home! The Cibolo is a perfect example of how you can make a few adjustments to a floor plan to completely change the way it looks! We offer three options for the exterior—Craftsman, Farmhouse, and European—so you can choose your architectural preference. Inside, the 2,033-square-foot plan is designed with the busy family in mind. Keep all the main living concentrated in an open floor plan where walls don’t divide you. Whether you’re watching television in the large family room, entertaining in the dining room, or handling the kitchen duties, you can see everyone and everything. The kitchen’s center island functions like a hub. Sit down for a casual meal at the breakfast bar, sort the mail, catch up on the daily happenings, wash the dishes, or start prepping the next meal. Adjacent to the kitchen, you have the functional center of the home: mudroom and laundry. A hall bench and closet provide you with the organization you need to keep the clutter at bay. Your owner's suite is tucked away in the farthest corner of this single-level floor plan. Separated with a vestibule entrance, you have a private retreat. The owner's bath includes both a soaking tub and walk-in shower, plus dual vanities and a private water closet, so it’s very shareable. The other 2 secondary bedrooms of this split floor plan anchor the other side of the home where they share the second full bath. Both bedrooms are identically sized with plenty of space for anyone from a toddler to teen to another adult member of your household. The Cibolo also gives you the freedom of a flex room off the foyer. Convert it to the space you want to meet your needs.
