Turnkey Gem Heights home features 3 beds 2.5 baths in a quiet neighborhood with convenient access to Meridian shopping, parks, trails, and the schools people move here for. Walk in and the house feels new without the “new construction” price tag. Fresh paint. Brand-new flooring. Spacious kitchen features stainless steel appliances and quartz slab countertops. Functional layout with real dining space, real living room, not the weird chopped-up stuff you see in older builds. The yard is already dialed in newly landscaped, clean, and move-in ready. Pull up, unload your boxes, and you’re home.
