It’s that first cup of coffee in the now-quiet kitchen — the calm before the storm. A moment just for you. Sunlight streams through a wall of windows, bouncing off the 18-foot ceilings and filling the open living area with light. For a moment, the house is still and organized, and the day feels like it can be handled.
Then the chaos slowly begins. Kids reluctantly shuffle in to start their school day, shoes are inevitably missing, backpacks get double-checked, and lunches are packed in a hurry. The kitchen island becomes the hub of the morning — a spot to sip your now cold coffee, keep an eye on the action, and prep what needs to get done before heading for the door.
The clock on the stove reads 7:15 a.m., and it’s time to head out. Jackets go on in the entryway, mittens are fumbled on little hands, and the activity moves to the garage. The car is loaded up with backpacks, instruments, and sports bags. The driveway is clear, the car backs out smoothly — a small win on a snowy South Dakota morning.
After school, sports practice, and homework, everyone arrives home and the evening settles in. Dinner gets pulled together quickly — pasta from the cabinet and whatever veggies or cheese you have on hand — while chatter fills the island. Mismatched socks inevitably end up by the door, backpacks pile up in the entryway, and shoes scatter across the floor. Once everyone is in bed, the master suite on the main floor offers a chance to unwind: a hot shower and a few minutes to yourself before shutting off your brain with a little Netflix. And tomorrow? It all starts over again. Chaotic? Sure — but we wouldn’t have it any other way.
This is life in the Malta — a new home built for how families really live. The main floor is open and bright, with high ceilings and a wall of windows that make the space feel roomy and comfortable, even when mornings are hectic. The kitchen and living area are connected, so it’s easy to cook, eat, and keep an eye on everything happening around you.
Upstairs, the large loft gives kids space for homework, video games, or projects, while the bedrooms provide their own corners for privacy. The connected garage makes loading up the car simple, and the driveway is cleared by the HOA, so winter mornings don’t slow you down.
The master suite on the main floor gives adults a spot to relax at the end of the day. Every part of the Malta — the open spaces, practical layouts, and thoughtful details — is designed to make everyday life easier and keep the household moving smoothly, no matter how busy it gets.
