Built in 2026 and tucked into the established Riverwood Plantation neighborhood, this home offers the fresh, modern feel of new construction without an HOA. The kitchen is the heart of the home, with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a tile backsplash, and a large island made for everything from quick breakfasts to lingering conversations. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a comfortable place to recharge with a spacious walk-in closet, dual vanity, and walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms provide flexibility for whatever your next chapter needs, while the upper-level laundry keeps one of life's everyday chores conveniently close to the bedrooms. But what may make this home especially memorable is what surrounds it. A .95-acre cul-de-sac lot creates a sense of breathing room that's increasingly hard to find, with a wooded backdrop and space to enjoy the outdoors from both the covered front porch and rear deck. Add an attached two-car garage, no HOA, and convenient access to shopping, dining, recreation, and Gastonia amenities, and you have a home that feels tucked away without feeling disconnected. New. Spacious. Peaceful. Convenient. This is a home designed not just for where you live, but for how you want everyday life to feel.
