Why this home stands out
New construction in an established, upscale neighborhood is rare — and that's exactly what 3409 Mintonville Point Drive delivers. You're getting a freshly built 3,214-square-foot home on a generous 0.74-acre lot, meaning you have the space, privacy, and modern systems of a brand-new build without the cookie-cutter feel of a dense subdivision. The lot alone sets this address apart from most of what you'll find in this zip code.
