The Sunday Open House at 4132 Kyles Landing Dr: A Checklist for a 2022 Resale
Theresa De La Rosa, Covenant Heritage Realty, LLC
Open House · Sunday, Oct 25, 1-3 PM
4132 Kyles Landing Dr, Hickory Creek, TX 75065. No appointment needed during open house hours. See it with a prepared checklist and leave knowing exactly where this home stands.
The open house at 4132 Kyles Landing Dr is Sunday, October 25 from 1 to 3 PM. This checklist is written for that specific home: what to verify in a 2022 build, which numbers to ask for at the door, and the questions that separate a browsing visit from a ready-to-offer visit. Bring the floor plan from the room-by-room tour, and you can cover everything below in one pass.
Before you go: what to bring and what to ask for
Bring a phone for photos, this checklist, and your lender pre-approval if you have one. At the door, ask for three things: the current tax estimate broken out by entity, the HOA documents and fee schedule, and the incentive worksheet showing the no-closing-costs offer and the 1-year lender rate buy-down for qualified buyers. The true cost of ownership guide shows why that worksheet matters before you compare monthly numbers.
Outside and the lot
Walk the full exterior before going in. This home sits on a tree-lined premium lot with a covered back patio and a stone retaining wall, so check the drainage around the foundation and the condition of the fence line. Note the 3-car garage: verify the door openers, the width for your vehicles, and where the EV charger is mounted. A 3-car garage is one of the features that is expensive to add later, so treat it as a real checklist item, not a formality.
Structure, systems, and warranty
Built in December 2022, this home still carries a remaining 10-year structural warranty. Ask for the warranty paperwork and confirm what is transferable and what the home built in 2022 has already had serviced. Note the age of the HVAC, water heater, and roof: at four years old they should be well inside their expected service life, and the warranty conversation should confirm that in writing.
Kitchen and main living
The open-concept main floor runs kitchen to dining to living room with wood floors throughout the main living areas. Check the granite counters and grey shaker cabinetry for condition, confirm the gas cooktop and the smart oven work, and test a few windows and the back door for smooth operation. The video walkthrough helps you compare the on-screen layout to the real sight lines, which is exactly the kind of thing open houses are for.
Upstairs: media room, bonus room, and bedrooms
Upstairs you will find the media room with built-in surround sound, the enclosed permitted bonus room, and additional bedrooms. Confirm the media room speakers and wiring are as listed, and ask to see any permit documentation for the bonus room, since a permitted enclosed space is worth more than an unpermitted one. Test the flow of the floor plan as you walk: where laundry lands, how the primary suite downstairs relates to the upper rooms, and whether the office off the entry stays quiet.
Smart home, security, and EV
The installed smart-home package includes an EV charger, a smart thermostat, a smart oven, and a security system with front and rear cameras. Ask how each piece is controlled, whether any require subscriptions, and what transfers with the sale. These details are easy to confirm in five minutes at the open house and expensive to discover after closing.
The numbers that decide the offer
Three numbers will define your offer, and all three are available on Sunday. First, the tax structure: Sycamore Cove has no MUD or PID taxes, which keeps the monthly carrying cost lower than many new-construction communities in Denton County. The tax advantage post explains the mechanics. Second, the incentives: no closing costs and a 1-year rate buy-down for qualified buyers through the preferred lender. Third, the school assignment: this home is served by Lake Dallas ISD, and the exact assignment is confirmed by street address through the district. The school guide covers the feeder pattern.
Questions to ask at the door
- What is the full tax estimate and are there any MUD or PID assessments?
- What are the HOA dues and what do they cover?
- What remains on the structural warranty and how does it transfer?
- How does the no-closing-costs offer work and who qualifies for the 1-year rate buy-down?
- What is the confirmed Lake Dallas ISD assignment for this exact address?
- Can I see the permit documentation for the enclosed bonus room?
If Sunday works for you, come prepared
A 2022 build with a remaining warranty, no MUD or PID taxes, and seller-paid closing costs is a strong starting point for an offer-ready buyer. Homes priced at $609,900 in a sold-out community tend to move once the price is right, so if this checklist confirms what you expected, the next step is deciding your offer number and timeline. If Sunday does not work, Theresa De La Rosa will set up a private showing with the same full access to the paperwork. The VA loan guide and the first-time buyer guide are worth reading before you write that offer.
Plan to walk through 4132 Kyles Landing Dr on Sunday, October 25 from 1 to 3 PM, or book a private tour any day this week. Either way, the tax estimate, HOA documents, and incentive worksheet will be ready for you.
