11559 Ashley Lane

Some homes have a guest room. This one has a whole other life on the main floor.

At 11559 Ashley Lane, the layout tells you everything. Two full bedrooms with private baths on the main level -- one a spacious primary suite, one a generous guest suite that works equally well for in-laws, multigenerational living, or a private home office that never requires climbing stairs. It's the kind of thoughtful design that most homes in this price range simply don't have.

The kitchen opens into the family room in that easy, conversational way that makes the whole back of the house feel like one big living space -- real counter space, an island that anchors without overwhelming, a gas fireplace that ties it all together. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms give kids room to grow, and the secondary living area adds flexibility for a playroom, media room, or study space.

Built in 2011 by Shaddock on a lot just shy of a third of an acre. The stucco exterior and 3-car garage make a strong first impression -- but it's the permanent trim lights along the roofline that stop people in their tracks. App-controlled, fully customizable, year-round curb appeal at the tap of a button. Out back, mature Empress Cypress trees line the yard, providing natural privacy that no fence can replicate. The 200-sq-ft covered patio makes the backyard truly livable in every season.

Villages of Stonelake Estates, Frisco ISD -- Ashley Elementary, Nelson Middle, Independence High. Minutes to Eldorado Pkwy, DNT, Preston Rd, Stonebriar Center, and the PGA Frisco corridor. Stephen's Green Park is right around the corner.

4,533 square feet. Five bedrooms. Four and a half baths. This home was built for a family that actually uses every room.
