Sleek, cozy and composed-this stand-alone condominium lives like a single-family home in a modern version of Mayberry, where neighbors know one another and community still matters. Set in Craig Ranch, McKinney, an upscale, state-of-the-art country-club setting in one of the nation's fastest-growing cities, the home offers resort-style living at a refreshingly approachable price-with an easy lock-and-leave lifestyle. The private first-floor primary suite feels wonderfully tucked away, with a spa-like bath and oversized closet. At the heart of the home, the open kitchen and dining space invites everyone to gather around its expansive island. High-end appliances, marble, granite and abundant light cabinetry bring both polish and practicality, with storage to spare. Upstairs, the grand staircase leads to an ideally sized game-billiards room and a truly special media room that can be completely closed off. Sink-in loungers, tables, projector and screen make movie nights effortless. Flexible auxiliary rooms can serve as two additional bedrooms-or an office, craft or workout space plus a separate second ensuite. The corner lot adds a sense of openness outdoors. The extended covered patio is a welcome escape from Texas heat, with room for gardening, pets and play. And just beyond the back door ... a 9,000-square-foot clubhouse, flowing pool-spa and best-in-class fitness center serve as the ideal setting for an active social calendar. Town center, hospital, soccer fields, golf, shopping, dining and entertainment are all close by, with Frisco, Plano and Allen seamlessly connected.
