Better Than New...Welcome to Talavera. Why wait to build when you can own a home that has already been thoughtfully upgraded and impeccably maintained? Built in 2021 by M/I Homes, this beautifully designed Sentinel Model offers the perfect balance of timeless style, modern comfort, and everyday functionality. Lovingly cared for by its original owner, this residence includes approximately $25,000 in builder upgrades and is truly move-in ready. Perfectly positioned on a premium .26-acre corner homesite in a non-flood zone, this exceptional home offers 3 bedrooms, a private flex room/office, 2 full baths, and a 2-car garage.
