Located in an established area of Riverlights, the cottage-style home has excellent curb appeal enhanced by a marine blue exterior, white trim, charming front porch, and an established lawn and landscaping. Throughout the interior, wide plank flooring, a muted color palette, custom millwork, and built-ins accentuate the open design floor plan. The gourmet kitchen boasts a large center island with bar seating, granite countertops with an expanded workspace, coordinated subway backsplash, custom cabinetry, pantry, high-quality stainless appliances including double ovens, and a natural gas range. A retreat of its own, the primary bedroom enjoys abundant windows, an attractive tray ceiling, and upgraded carpeting; its primary bath encompasses a double vanity, luxury tile shower with glass door, large soaking tub, and a spacious walk-in closet. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are also well-appointed, offering ample closet space and a shared bathroom.

Additional features include irrigation with drip lines, gutters, and window treatments, including blinds and screens. An added benefit of the home's location is that it is secluded from construction noise within the community. The home is also covered by a 2-10 home warranty. Welcome home!
