Backyard resort. Fully updated systems. Premier back-of-neighborhood location-this is the one buyers wait for, now offered at an exceptional value. Just reduced $80K-creating a rare opportunity to own one of the most upgraded, best-positioned homes in River Place Estates. Not all homes here are created equal-and the moment you step onto this property, you'll understand why. Tucked at the very back of the community among the newest homes, this setting offers rare privacy, minimal traffic, and a quiet, established feel surrounded by mature oak trees-all just minutes from Lake Belton, plus nearby restaurants, grocery stores, and highly regarded Belton ISD schools. The outdoor living alone sets this home apart. A large, resort-style pool anchors the backyard-completely redone since 2020 with resurfacing and updated equipment-paired with beautifully refinished SunDek decking that stays cool underfoot in the Texas heat. Multiple entertaining spaces include an 8-person hot tub and a covered patio with gas grill, TV, and dining area designed for year-round enjoyment. Inside, the level of care and investment is clear. Since 2020: new roof, all three HVAC systems, water heater, water softener, updated flooring, fresh paint, and upgraded kitchen appliances-offering the feel of a newer home without the added expense. The primary suite is a true retreat with a fully remodeled bathroom and modern finishes. The layout is both functional and flexible, with three bedrooms, two living areas, and a formal dining room on the main level. Upstairs offers an additional bedroom, full bath, and a large bonus/game room-ideal for guests, teens, or a media space. A three-car garage with premium epoxy coating adds everyday convenience. When comparing homes in this area, the difference in quality, upgrades, and setting is clear. With its recent price improvement, this property offers a standout opportunity for buyers who recognize the value of a more complete home.
