About this home
Welcome to 1704 Drift Falls Lane! An exceptional 2016 Parade Home by Homes by Dickerson, featuring the sought-after Emerson floor plan in one of the most established and desirable sections of Wendell Falls. Perfectly positioned on one of the largest lots in the neighborhood, this home offers rare privacy with no rear neighbors and generous space between surrounding homes which creates a peaceful, tucked-away feel that's hard to find. Designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, the main-level ranch layout includes a dedicated office with French doors, an open-concept living area, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Upstairs, a spacious bonus room and walk-in storage provide the flexibility today's buyers need. The backyard is truly a standout--featuring a beautiful flagstone patio, Trex deck, and a hot tub (conveying with an acceptable offer), all perfectly set up for hosting, game days on the porch TV, or relaxing evenings under the stars. Thoughtfully maintained with pre-inspections completed and repairs addressed, this home offers peace of mind along with its undeniable charm and personality. The home is owned (and very loved) by the listing agents. Located in the original section of Wendell Falls with no active construction, you'll enjoy a quiet setting just moments from the Falls and with the convenience of hopping on your golf cart to Treelight Square for dinner, coffee, or Pilates. This is more than a home--it's a lifestyle.
