201 Dry Creek Commons Dr is a new-construction, move-in-ready end-unit townhome in Goodlettsville, 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths, with nothing upstairs but two full suites, so whoever sleeps here never feels like the guest. One suite runs across the front of the house and the other across the back, with both baths and both walk-in closets in between. Thursday night a bag goes up the stairs to the back suite, and the door closes on a room with its own bath and its own walk-in closet; the visitor keeps their own hours all weekend behind that door. Saturday by ten the back door off the kitchen is standing open to the private fenced patio, and the island was built without a sink, so its whole white quartz top is plates, the paper and the second pot. The coffee goes outside, where the fence makes the patio yours, a spigot waits for the planters and an exterior light keeps the evening going past dusk; the exterior storage room off the patio takes the luggage, the cooler and the folding chairs. The community keeps a fenced playground and a fenced dog park, so the Sunday walk has somewhere to go. A few minutes up the road, the former RiverGate Mall is being redeveloped: about $450 million in announced plans for more than 100,000 square feet of retail and dining, a hotel and a central green, and downtown Nashville is about 20 minutes away. New townhomes in this part of Goodlettsville list at roughly half the price per square foot of new townhomes inside Nashville's loop. Show the back suite last. Anyone who has slept in it once asks about the next visit before the bags are in the car.
