Why this home stands out
What sets 5424 Larissa CT apart is the combination of a well-proportioned 2,631-square-foot floor plan — four true bedrooms, a half bath on the main level, and generous living areas — inside a quiet cul-de-sac court in THOMPKINS ESTATES. Built in 2008, the home hits a sweet spot: modern enough for energy-efficient systems and contemporary finishes, yet established enough to sit in a mature, tree-lined neighborhood with real character.
