## Description

### Agent Description
At this price, finding a brand-new home that actually feels well built is rare, and this one delivers. This gorgeous new construction offers a paved driveway, garage, and beautiful upgraded floors, giving you that solid, quality-build feel without the luxury price tag. It's truly a worry-free home: new roof, new HVAC, new everything. Just move in. This Craftsman-style home is in a quaint gated river resort community, just minutes from town. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath split floor plan is designed for everyday living, all on one level. The custom fireplace adds warmth and character, while the open layout creates the perfect space for gathering. This home is unique as it can appeal to both a rustic or modern style. There's generous dining space and room to comfortably seat 12+ for dinners, holidays, or game nights. The master suite is especially well done, with a beautiful bathroom, walk-in closet with built-ins, and a convenient pass-through to the laundry room, one of those little details you'll appreciate every single day. The home features a Low-maintenance exterior and fiber internet. The comfort, quality, and value is hard to beat. Enjoy the back porch overlooking a pretty flat oversized backyard. Amenities include 5 riverfront parks which offer tent camping as well as RV hookups for your traveling guests, Dog runs, a fishing pond, the meandering Coosawattee River perfect for fishing, kayaking and tubing, an events center with long range views. There are 3 pools, two outdoor and one indoor heated and open year-round located in the Recreation Center along with an arcade and fitness room. At the Rec Center you can also play 18 holes of mini-golf, pickleball & tennis courts.
