Builders in North McKinney mostly went up, not out. Two stories gets you more square footage on the same lot, so that is what got built, and that is most of what you see when you shop this area.
Which is why a one story on a greenbelt lot is a smaller slice of the market than people expect.
2813 Black Walnut in Timber Creek is one of them. Highland Homes plan, built in 2020, one owner since. 2,079 square feet, three bedrooms, two and a half baths and a separate study, all on one level. $530,000. It backs to a treeline, so there is nobody behind it, and it faces north, which in a Texas September is not a small thing.
Straight talk on it. That works out to about $255 a foot, and 2,079 feet is not a lot of house. You are buying the single level and the lot here, not the square footage. If your list starts with how many feet you can get, this is not your house. If you are done with stairs, or you want a backyard that stays yours, it is worth walking.
Here is the part I would check on any greenbelt lot, so I checked it on this one. A dedicated greenbelt stays trees. An undeveloped parcel does not have to. The land behind this house is Lot N-1, Block N of Timber Creek Phase 6, about eleven and a half acres, platted as common area and owned by the Timber Creek homeowners association. It is not a builder's parcel waiting on a permit. That is the version of this you want.
Open house is this Saturday, September 5, 1 to 3. Come walk it.
Can't make Saturday? Comment TOUR and I will get you in another time.
