Unmatched value in River Bluffs! At just $257/sq ft, this immaculate home offers a rare entry point into the neighborhood well below the cost of new construction. Enjoy a fully established lot, mature professional landscaping that takes years to grow, and immediate proximity to the resort-style pool--without the wait or premium price tag of a new build. Welcome to River Bluffs, a gated waterfront community where life feels like a permanent vacation. Just steps from your door you'll find a marina and boat ramp, resort-style pools (with the neighborhood pool practically around the corner), fitness centers, a half-mile riverwalk, and a community garden! Any hobby or special interest you may have, the community has a club for you! Step onto the welcoming rocking chair front porch and into a bright, open floor plan with hard wood floors and architectural detail throughout the main living areas. The living room is the heart of the home, anchored by a stunning 10-foot coffered ceiling, a cozy fireplace, and custom built-ins that make it as functional as it is beautiful. The kitchen was made for gathering -- an oversized island with bar seating, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and an easy flow into the dining space that's perfect for hosting. Your primary suite is tucked away on the main level, complete with walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath featuring a tiled walk-in shower, dual-sink vanity, and a freestanding soaking tub. A laundry/mudroom with a drop zone keeps everyday life running smoothly. Upstairs offers a versatile flex space, a second bedroom with its own ensuite bath, plus a third bedroom and full bath -- great for guests or however you like to use the extra room. Outside, the back porch and patio connect the home to the detached two-car garage, with a new irrigation system and freshly refreshed landscaping adding to the curb appeal. And with the HOA covering trash, recycling, and lawn care, low-maintenance living is part of the package.
