About This Home

As of November 2025

17543 Whispering Star offers the curb appeal you would expect from one of the largest lots in Riata Ranch. Tucked away at the end of a tree-lined cul-de-sac, this DR Horton home blends smart upgrades with inviting style. Rich wood laminate floors flow through the living and dining areas, while the spacious kitchen features 42-inch cabinets, gas cooking, and upgraded appliances. A remote-controlled wrought iron gate adds security, and the oversized driveway leads to a detached three-car garage ideal for parking, storage, or hobbies. Mature fruit trees add charm to the lush fenced backyard. This home is walking distance to the neighborhood pool, park, and amenities and just minutes from all the shopping and dining on Barker Cypress. Bonus features are a full-home generator and water softener.
