972 San Jacinto Drive, Aledo, TX 76008

In gorgeous La Madera, down a generous circle drive, this new FourLight Custom Homes build sits on 2.6 acres backed up to Moncrief Ranch. The west-facing back porch looks out over quiet open pasture. Inside, every finish was chosen by a talented local interior designer.

Some notable design features include white oak floors, 10-ft ceilings, Visual Comfort lighting, Schumacher wallpaper and a Farrow & Ball color palette. Flat black Emtek hardware finishes every door. The kitchen is made for gathering. Taj Mahal quartzite with an ogee edge wraps white oak cabinetry.

The cabinets are studded with unlacquered Baldwin brass-a finish that will deepen with patina over the years. A 48-inch commercial-style gas range anchors the room, with built-in refrigerator and freezer as well. Behind the scenes, a butler's pantry and prep kitchen with a second oven, microwave drawer and second refrigerator equip the kitchen for seamless hosting or catering.

The 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath plan gives every bedroom its own full bath. The game room, with a tongue-and-groove plank ceiling, is ready to become a playroom or host movie night. The study with built-ins offers a quiet place to work. A mud bench and cabinet-lined laundry keep daily life in order.

Quality underpins the surface: 2x6 exterior walls, an oversized 3-car garage and over 6,500 sq ft of concrete in the drive. Power is already run to the eaves for motorized shades on the back porch. All within highly rated Aledo ISD, with Fort Worth an easy drive away.
