206 Dry Creek Commons Dr is a new-construction 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath end-unit townhome in Goodlettsville, finished and ready now, with kitchen cabinets that do not stop at the corner: they run the back wall, turn it, and keep going down the next wall. Walk the back wall of the kitchen toward the corner, where a kitchen this size is supposed to end. It does not end. The cabinets turn and run on down the side wall, and you stand there a second longer than you meant to, counting doors. The sink is on the back wall, so the white quartz island stays open end to end: appetizers at one end, drinks at the other, and nobody cooking in the middle of the conversation. After dinner, open the kitchen door. The patio is bigger than you walked out expecting, and it is all yours: brick at your back, a privacy fence around you, a spigot for the herb pots and an outlet waiting for a string of bulbs. The exterior storage room off the patio swallows the luggage, the cooler and the folding chairs, so the patio stays a room. Dinner moves out. Nobody notices the time until the bulbs are the only light left. The community's fenced playground and fenced dog park are a short walk away. Minutes up the road, the former RiverGate Mall is coming down for about $450 million in announced plans: more than 100,000 square feet of retail and dining, a hotel and a central green and plaza; downtown Nashville is about 20 minutes. New townhomes in this part of Goodlettsville list at about half the price per square foot of new townhomes inside the loop. The corner does not photograph. Send the cook in first and watch them turn around to find you. That look is the showing.
