S. School Road

The home on South School Road represents downsizing at its finest. The four-bed, three-bath home sits on a modest 1.44-acre lot, occupying 2,353 square feet of space for an older couple who just wanted to settle into a forever home large enough to accommodate grandkids.

The exterior features brick, board and batten, and siding for a unique finish. The inside has quartz countertops and tile throughout, with the exception of a few carpeted bedrooms and stairs.

Situated at the very heart of Lake Thunderbird, the home has unmatched curb appeal. Turner & Son built it to back up toward the lake to maximize access and aesthetics—and even included a bathroom with a door that opens out to the water.
