Welcome to effortless living in The Retreat at Sterling on the Lake, Flowery Branch’s premier 55+ active adult community. Built in 2025 by David Weekley Homes, this beautifully upgraded ranch home offers the ease of one-level living with the added flexibility of a full unfinished basement, already stubbed for a future bath. A premium homesite with an HOA-owned adjacent lot provides a rare sense of privacy and a peaceful natural buffer, while the clubhouse is just a short walk away. Inside, 10-foot ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and an open-concept design create an inviting setting for everyday living and entertaining. The chef’s kitchen features an oversized island, gas range, and premium finishes, with easy access to the covered deck for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Thoughtfully selected upgrades include California Closets office cabinetry, custom laundry and hall cabinetry, designer lighting, custom window treatments, designer-selected paint colors, professional landscaping, and irrigation. The spacious primary suite offers a spa-inspired bath with an oversized tiled walk-in shower, dual vanity, and two walk-in closets. A three-car garage provides exceptional space for vehicles, storage, hobbies, or a workshop. Best of all, HOA-maintained lawn care means more time to enjoy the lifestyle. Residents of The Retreat also have access to Sterling on the Lake’s extensive amenities, including pools, tennis and pickleball, fitness facilities, walking trails, lakeside recreation, and a vibrant calendar of activities and events. Nearly new, exceptionally upgraded, and set on one of the community’s most desirable homesites, this is a home you can simply move into and enjoy.

Every Listing, Full Treatment

What a Rykman
listing page carries.

When live inventory connects, each property opens into a page built like our listings deserve. Here is the anatomy.

The Story

Presentation first.

Editorial photography, the property's point of view, and the facts that make its value legible in the first thirty seconds.

The Numbers

The full picture.

Price history, taxes, schools, and area context in one place, so you evaluate the deal, not just the photos.

The Move

One tap to act.

Book the showing or text the question directly from the page. Speed matters when the right house surfaces.

Ready When You Are

Never house-hunt
alone again.

The search is the easy part. The read, the offer, and the win are where representation earns its keep.
