Pond views, a finished walkout level, and an oversized three-car garage give 4280 3rd Ave SE plenty of practical features to enjoy. This 2026 Happe Homes Bailey ranch plan offers 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and 1,815 square feet of above-grade living space, with additional finished space in the lower level.

The main level has an open layout with natural light and hard surface flooring throughout the main living areas. The kitchen is designed with both everyday use and entertaining in mind, featuring a large center island, quartz countertops, 42-inch upper cabinets, a custom-trimmed hood vent, tile backsplash, and an impressive 11-by-4-foot pantry.

The primary bedroom offers a tray ceiling and connects to a private ensuite bathroom with a tile shower, double vanity, and large walk-in closet. The main-level laundry adds convenience and keeps everyday chores close to the bedrooms and living areas.

Finished Walkout Lower Level

The finished walkout basement gives the home another level of living space. A large family room with a wet bar creates a comfortable spot for movie nights, gatherings, or relaxing with family.
