About This Home

As of March 2025

Step into a world of luxury and convenience in this stunningly upgraded home, perfectly situated just minutes from the serene RSM Lake. Imagine yourself sipping morning coffee with breathtaking views from your upper balcony, or enjoying the vibrant community life with access to 7 pools, including the exclusive RSM beach club, and annual fireworks shows right at your doorstep!

This home is a true gem, featuring not one, but two master suites, each promising privacy and comfort, complemented by a spacious loft that adds an airy feel to the already expansive living space. The heart of the home, a recently remodeled kitchen, boasts sleek black granite countertops and sophisticated cabinetry, perfect for hosting and everyday elegance.

The living room, pre-wired for surround sound, sets the stage for unforgettable movie nights and cozy gatherings. Enjoy the added convenience of new vinyl double-pane windows and sliding doors installed in 2020, ensuring quiet and energy efficiency. The primary bedroom enchants with its unique half-moon window, adding a touch of charm.

Storage is plentiful, with ample cabinetry in the garage, complete with a handy sink and a digital sprinkler system in the backyard to make life easier. The home includes a new AC condenser installed in 2016, enhancing comfort throughout the seasons.

Privacy is paramount in this end unit with only one shared wall. Direct access from the two-car garage, supplemented by an additional outside parking pass, makes coming and going a breeze. The thoughtful layout includes a direct backyard access, allowing for more functional use of garage space as waste bins are kept outside.

This home isn’t just a living space, it’s a lifestyle upgrade waiting for you to claim it!
