Tucked away in one of Riverstone Plantation’s most loved pockets—affectionately known by the neighbors as the “Cool-de-sac”—this home offers the kind of space, layout, and backyard setting that’s hard to find and even harder to leave. From the moment you walk in, the open floorplan creates an easy, natural flow between the main living spaces. The kitchen, family room, and dining areas all connect seamlessly—perfect for everyday living and those nights when everyone just ends up gathering in the same space anyway. On the main level, you’ll find a dedicated home office—perfect for remote work, a quiet study space, or a flexible room to fit your lifestyle.

A screened-in porch and deck overlook a private backyard that checks every box—a great lawn for play, pets, or entertaining, and a wooded backdrop that gives you that peaceful, tucked-away feel. Downstairs, the finished basement adds a whole new level of livability. Whether it’s game nights, workouts, hosting friends, or creating a separate hangout space, this level delivers—with a bar area, workout space, additional bedroom, and plenty of room to spread out. And then there’s the lifestyle that comes with living here.
