Welcome to an elegant Southern style home with special high end features throughout. At the end of the cul de sac, you enter through a lovely courtyard with ceramic tiled flooring to a beautiful lit arbor. A firepit adjoins this area making the entire courtyard a beautiful exterior entertainment space. Lemon, orange, grapefruit and pomegranate is healthy and growing in the garden with lights on each tree. Porches surround the front sides of the home; one has screen curtains that close to keep out the insects. This porch adjoining the den is a wonderful place to relax with a view of the tiered garden with fountain,

and common green space beyond your private garden oasis. The porch floors are all Trex, the exterior of the home is duraplast paint on Hardie wide plank siding, with poly vinyl trim for a care-free exterior.
The interior of the home is laid out like a traditional Southern plantation; with a formal living and dining room up front and more expansive living space toward the back / courtyard. The formal living room and study share a two sided wood burning fireplace with tumbled marble surround. All interior rooms have exquisite crown molding and the study features a coffered ceiling. The elegant draperies and blinds all remain. There are speakers throughout the home. The floors are primarily engineered hardwood in a rich walnut color. The kitchen is spacious with pretty granite, all stainless appliances, and a large pantry. The guest rooms share a jack and jill bath with classic black and white vintage style tiles. The master suite is filled with light and has a large walk in closet and master bath suiting a house of this stature. The builder thought of everything - there is a "media room" with speaker system, projector TV, 84" screen, and a raised viewing area.
Just like the old south, the oversized garage is detached with a covered walkway to get to the back door.
The amenities of Riverside need to be mentioned - this is a neighborhood like no other in Bay County. Green space with sidewalks promote visiting among neighbors. There is a playground, basketball area, community room with kitchen, a huge covered picnic area poolside (two pools), a fitness center and a billiards room for owners above the fitness area. Just down the path is a nice large dock on Mill Bayou, perfect for fishing.
