About this home
Welcome to low-maintenance living at its finest in this stunning, like-new duplex-style townhome in the sought-after RiverLights community. The HOA fee includes a comprehensive master insurance policy that provides valuable peace of mind, helping restore the home to the whole, including builder's standard features, in the event of a covered loss. It also covers exterior maintenance, landscaping, irrigation, building upkeep, pressure washing, and a termite bond. Built by Trusst Builder Group, the highly desirable Linville floor plan offers an exceptional blend of style, comfort, and functionality. Ideally positioned with an east-west orientation, the home enjoys abundant natural light throughout the day while offering comfortable outdoor spaces in the afternoon.

A secondary bedroom, full guest bath, and versatile flex space--perfect for a home office--complete the first floor. The open-concept living area is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring custom built-ins, tray ceilings, crown molding, and a cozy gas fireplace. The gourmet kitchen is a true standout with a large center island, granite countertops, soft-close cabinetry, a 5-burner natural gas range, composite sink, brick-look tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and a custom pot rack above the island. A lanai slider opens to a spacious screened porch, creating the perfect setting for morning coffee or evening gatherings, with an expanded concrete patio beyond for even more outdoor enjoyment. Upstairs, guests will enjoy a private suite complete with an en-suite full bath and generous walk-in closet. Additional highlights include a two-car garage with epoxy flooring, utility sink, comfort-height toilet in the primary bath, an added electrical outlet in the living room, and access to a large floored attic providing excellent storage.
