Welcome to 12601 Inverness Drive, a truly one-of-a-kind custom home tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the established Rivers Bend community. Surrounded by mature trees and designed for everyday living and entertaining, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers over 4,000 finished square feet, dual primary suites, a 2.5-car garage with storage, and exceptional indoor-outdoor living.
The first floor features 9-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, fresh neutral paint, extensive millwork, built-ins, and abundant natural light. Elegant columns and a mirrored accent wall define the formal living and dining rooms, while the dramatic family room showcases a vaulted ceiling, Palladian window, and brick wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen offers granite counters, gas cooking, wall oven, pantry storage, and a bright breakfast area.
Two primary suites provide exceptional flexibility. The first-floor primary retreat includes a renovated bath, separate dressing areas, walk-in closet, private laundry access, and direct access to the screened porch. Upstairs, the second primary suite offers a private covered deck, walk-in closet, jetted tub, and separate shower. Three additional bedrooms and a shared bath complete the second level, while the walk-up unfinished third floor offers storage or potential for future expansion.
Outdoor living is the showpiece. French doors from the kitchen open to a large screened porch with custom string lighting and ceiling fans. Enjoy two covered decks—one on each level—with direct access from both primary suites. The private, tree-lined backyard features a three-tier fountain, stone patio, firepit area, and peaceful setting.
Rivers Bend amenities include a community pool and splash pool, playground, basketball court, sand volleyball court, pickleball courts, and tennis courts.
