🏠️ Price is right – Flower Mound edition

How it works: We’re going to give you some facts about a home for sale, including a picture of the outside, the kitchen, and one additional room. Your job? Guess how much it’s listed for (preferably before you click to find out).

Listed by: Jill Nelson (Coldwell Banker Apex, REALTORS)

A single-story stunner in Montalcino Estates, this place is all about easy living with a side of sophistication. Hand-scraped hardwoods, cased windows, and crown molding keep things classic, while the vaulted office and coffered dining room ceiling bring just the right amount of drama. The chef’s kitchen pulls its weight with a quartz island, pot filler, and built-in fridge, and the laundry room even connects straight to the walk-in closet for maximum efficiency.

Out back, the covered patio and stone fireplace overlook a heated saltwater pool that’s ready for cannonballs or quiet floats, no matter the season. An acre of green space means plenty of room for impromptu soccer matches or lazy afternoons.

Make your guess, then (and only then)… see how much it costs →
