Tucked within the peaceful setting of Riverbend Forest, this custom-built home blends elevated craftsmanship with everyday comfort. Mornings begin with soft light filtering through plantation shutters, coffee in hand, while evenings naturally gather around the warmth of the great room—where soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, reclaimed beams, and a striking black walnut mantle create a space that feels both refined and inviting. Wide-plank hickory hardwood floors run throughout, stained and finished in place with seamless, color-matched vents, while 8” baseboards and custom millwork add a sense of quiet luxury. The kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful, featuring leathered quartzite countertops, GE Café appliances (including a built-in convection oven, microwave, and refrigerator with Keurig), two composite granite sinks (one in the island that is a double bowl, and a prep sink looking out the window), and thoughtfully designed cabinetry with soft-close doors, pullouts, and a fully optimized pantry. Custom touches continue with a handcrafted barndoor leading into the study, well-designed closet systems, and a thoughtful window treatment package—plantation shutters at the front of the home and honeycomb light-filtering shades in the bedrooms—balancing style with privacy and comfort. Behind the scenes, quality systems include a whole-house Generac generator, Trane heat pump, and Navien tankless water heater—providing efficiency and peace of mind. The oversized two-car garage features a polyaspartic-coated floor, and the basement offers an additional 882 sq ft climate-controlled workshop (not included in HLA). While currently non-contiguous to the main living area, this space presents a compelling opportunity for future expansion—easily finished into additional living space with the addition of interior access. 157 Riverbend Forest is a home that lives beautifully—where thoughtful design, comfort, and setting come together effortlessly. Welcome home!
