On your way out, take Archgate Drive instead — you'll see firsthand just how close this neighborhood sits to the top schools, parks, and trails. It's the kind of proximity that's hard to fully appreciate until you're in it.
Without furniture it can be hard to appreciate the scale. This room fits a California King and a sitting area. It's East-facing, so wake up to the morning sun. Worth pausing and appreciating your options here.
This beautifully updated one-story home makes the most of every advantage the address brings. Tucked on a quiet interior lot in Wellington at Preston Meadows, 6868 Baird Dr has been freshly prepared for its next owners with a refreshed kitchen, new AC, and a head-to-toe make-ready that means the only thing left to do is move in.
Step inside and the openness immediately impresses. Natural light fills 2,276 square feet of flowing, single-level space — hardwood floors, earthy designer tile, and fresh finishes carry you from room to room. The living room centers on a cozy gas-log fireplace, the kind that makes fall evenings feel like exactly where you want to be. The kitchen — refreshed in 2026 with new cabinetry and finishes — is where this home truly shines: granite countertops, a breakfast bar, kitchen island, and a walk-in pantry. The breakfast room flows seamlessly off the kitchen, and a separate formal dining room could also double as a study.
The primary suite is a genuine retreat with its own sitting area, plus an en-suite bath with dual vanities, garden tub, separate shower, linen closet, and walk-in closet. Three secondary bedrooms share an updated full bath.
