*Back on market due to buyer financing* Most backyards have neighbors. This one has a nature preserve. Tucked into the sought-after Shores community in Rockwall, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom home backs directly to Pettinger Nature Preserve, creating a rare sense of privacy and a backdrop of mature trees. Relaxing evenings on the patio feel a little quieter and more peaceful here. Inside, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and expansive windows draw the outdoors in. The spacious living area centers around an updated tile fireplace and opens seamlessly to the kitchen, where 42-inch cabinetry, generous prep space, and an oversized island make everyday living effortless. A formal dining room framed by large windows offers the perfect setting for holiday dinners, celebrations, or a quiet meal with a view. The primary suite is a retreat of its own, featuring a recently remodeled shower and direct access to the outdoor living space. Thoughtful updates throughout the home provide peace of mind, including recent HVAC, roof, windows, laminate flooring, fencing, and a brand-new water heater. Located in The Shores, residents enjoy the opportunity for membership at a private golf course, community pool, tennis courts, pickleball courts, restaurant, and pub, all just a short golf cart ride away. Whether your ideal weekend includes a round of golf, dinner with friends, or simply unwinding while taking in a canopy of trees, this home offers a setting that's hard to find. You can customize homes to your liking, but you can’t move homes onto beautiful lots like this!
