Back on the market - no fault of the sellers and now offered at a new price. Second chance for buyers who may have missed this opportunity the first time when it went under contract in just 15 days. Sunsets, river view, and a home that lives like a private retreat define 6509 River Vista Dr, a custom-built coastal retreat set on a .52-acre homesite in the close-knit Elliott Place community, offering striking curb appeal and an all-inclusive lifestyle. A covered front porch with partial river views welcomes you inside to an open floor plan with rich wood flooring throughout the main living areas and refined modern-colonial styling, featuring tray/coffered ceilings, shaker window and door casings, beadboard/boxed wainscoting, crown moldings, built-ins, and recessed lighting. The kitchen is both beautiful and functional with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, tile backsplash, large island, stainless steel appliances, custom hood, five-burner range, generous pantry, and reverse-osmosis filtered refrigerator, flowing into the living room anchored by a fireplace framed with built-ins and integrated speakers. The main level also includes a dedicated office, powder room, mudroom/drop zone, Culligan water treatment system, tankless water heater, and an oversized 2.5-car (double/single door) garage.
