The most current Benefit home under construction is being built by HistoryMaker which recently completed construction of its Alder plan in Sierra Vista. Land Tejas donated the lot. The home has 3,176 square feet and includes five bedrooms, four full baths, a three-car garage and is loaded with amenities from more than 30 local vendor companies that share in giving back to those less fortunate.
The home is priced in the mid-$300,000s and is open for visitors. Interested parties can call Michael Tran, sales associate, at 832-382-9988.
