Welcome to the Llano. 2,389 square feet. Three bedrooms plus a study. Two and a half baths. And a kitchen with not one, but two islands. This is a home built for gathering.

Picture Thanksgiving for twelve, a crowd coming in off the lake, or just a quiet Tuesday night. You want a home that handles all three without feeling too big or too small. The Llano is that home.

It starts at the curb. Brick and white stone, a cedar-lined gable with a heavy timber truss, timber accents over the windows, carriage lanterns, and black-framed windows give the Llano real presence. It looks like it belongs near the water, because it does.

Step inside and look up. Cathedral ceilings run the full length of the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Clerestory windows bring in light from both ends. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the living room, and oversized glass globe pendants with warm brass accents hang throughout. Wide-plank flooring connects it all, so you can see from the front door to the backyard in one long view.

The kitchen is the reason people stay. The first island is your workstation, with an apron-front farmhouse sink, a designer pull-out faucet, and a built-in dishwasher. The second island is for everyone else: serving, homework, and the people who always end up in the kitchen anyway. Additional kitchen pendants above it make it the centerpiece of the room. Behind them you’ll find:

• ceiling-height painted cabinetry with soft-close doors and drawers
• a custom range hood over a gas cooktop
• KitchenAid built-in wall ovens
• quartz countertops with a full-height quartz backsplash
• under-cabinet lighting
• a walk-in pantry

A 9-foot sliding glass door opens straight to the covered patio.

Where the Llano really stands out is the primary suite. A tray ceiling sets the tone. His and hers walk-in closets each come with built-in shelving and double hanging rods, so nobody has to share. The spa bath has:

• a freestanding soaking tub beneath a privacy glass window
• a glass-enclosed walk-in shower
• two separate vanities with quartz tops
• a private water closet

This is the room you’ll be glad to come home to.

The two secondary bedrooms sit on the opposite side of the home for real privacy. They share a full bath with a tiled tub surround to the ceiling. The study up front works as a home office, a playroom, or a guest room. Guests get their own powder bath, finished with a glazed navy tile wall and a gold arched mirror. It’s the kind of room people take pictures of.

Rounding out the plan is a family entry from the two-car garage that leads into one of the best utility rooms you’ll find anywhere. It has navy cabinetry, a laundry sink, wraparound counter space, and a patterned tile floor. Out back, a covered patio with its own cathedral ceiling overlooks a fenced, landscaped backyard. Out front, a covered porch welcomes you home.

Your home runs from your phone. The Llano comes standard with our smart home package:

• a WiFi garage door opener
• a WiFi thermostat
• a WiFi video doorbell with free cloud storage, so there’s no monthly fee to review footage
• modular WiFi switches
• a WiFi-connected built-in oven

Check the front door or preheat dinner while you’re still out on the lake.

What’s behind the walls matters just as much. These are the features you won’t see:

• Roof: Lifetime-rated shingles with a Class 3 impact rating that can save you up to 30% on homeowners insurance, plus radiant barrier decking.
• Shell: Real OSB sheathing wrapped in Tyvek house wrap with a 15-year weather barrier.
• Insulation: R-38 in the attic and BIBS insulation on every exterior wall.
• Comfort: A 16 SEER HVAC system designed by a third-party engineer, not the cheapest trade.
• Extras: A tankless water heater, front gutters, and frost-free hose bibs.

Bold style on the surface. Built right underneath.

Then there’s Bentwater. Set on the west shore of Lake Conroe in Montgomery, Bentwater is a gated lakeside community with:

• a marina and the Bentwater Yacht & Country Club
• championship golf
• resort-style pools, tennis courts, parks, and walking trails winding through tall pines

Weekends here look like boat days, tee times, and sunsets over the water. Kids attend highly regarded Montgomery ISD schools. Historic downtown Montgomery, Hwy 105, and The Woodlands are all an easy drive away.

Lake living, a home built for gathering, and a price well below what you’d expect for Bentwater. Find out why the Llano is where everyone wants to be! Call 832-615-2922 today!
