Property Description

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. Step out back and this is where it really starts to stand out. 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. Riverstone Plantation is known for its vibrant community feel, with amenities that make it easy to stay active and connected—pool, tennis, pickleball, basketball courts, and a playground, plus neighborhood events that bring everyone together throughout the year. You’re also located in the highly regarded Forsyth County School District, with East Forsyth High School just down the road—making daily life that much more convenient. And for the lake lovers—this location is hard to beat. You’re just minutes from multiple Lake Lanier parks, with easy access to Port Royale Marina and lakeside favorites like Pelican Pete’s—making spontaneous boat days, sunset dinners, and weekends on the water part of your everyday life. Set on a quiet cul-de-sac with a true neighborhood feel, this is the kind of home—and lifestyle—where people stay for a reason.
