224 Dry Creek Commons Dr

224 Dry Creek Commons Dr is a new-construction 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome in Goodlettsville where the whole upper floor is two full suites, one across the front and one across the back, each with its own bath and a walk-in closet opening off it, so both of you get the primary. The first alarm goes off at six in the back suite. Water runs and the closet door opens straight off the bath. Across the landing, with two baths and two closets of wall between, the front suite stays dark until its own alarm. The early riser carries the first coffee out the kitchen door to the private fenced patio and has the morning alone; the late riser gets the same patio at the other end of the day, the exterior storage room keeping the outdoor gear out of the house. The community's fenced dog park and fenced playground are the evening walk. At ten that night it runs in reverse: one of you is already asleep in the back, the other climbs the stairs, turns at the landing and eases the front suite's door shut out of habit, and the whole depth of the floor sits between that click and the person sleeping. A few minutes away, the former RiverGate Mall is being remade under about $450 million in announced plans: more than 100,000 square feet of retail and dining, a hotel and a central green; 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. Two doors off one landing, a full bath and a walk-in closet behind each. Bring the person you are buying with, stand between those doors and choose; whichever one you each walk through, you both just got the primary.
