At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Franklin’s sought-after Legends Ridge neighborhood, 409 Lake Valley Drive offers timeless Southern charm with resort-style living. With over 7,200 square feet, five bedrooms, and a fully finished basement, this custom home by Paula Hinegardner of Paula Hinegardner Group, Keller Williams Realty, is built for both everyday comfort and unforgettable entertaining — all set on a scenic 1.03-acre lot with a picturesque pond just beyond the backyard.
Living in Legends Ridge means more than just a beautiful house. Homeowners enjoy gated access, a community clubhouse, pool, fitness center, tennis courts, playground, and scenic walking trails. The neighborhood is also zoned for highly rated Williamson County schools, including Walnut Grove Elementary, Grassland Middle, and Franklin High School — and it’s just minutes from shopping, dining, and Historic Downtown Franklin!
Step through the stately front porch and into the soaring foyer, where rich hardwood floors and natural light welcome you in. To one side, a handsome paneled office with coffered ceilings offers the perfect work-from-home space. On the other side, a not-so-formal dining room lined with shiplap adds a touch of charm and personality.
At the heart of the home, the open-concept great room features a rustic stone fireplace flanked by custom-built-ins. The space flows seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen with a large center island, double ovens, stainless steel appliances, and custom cabinetry. Just beyond, a sunlit keeping room and breakfast nook open to the screened porch and covered back deck, creating an ideal setup for indoor-outdoor entertaining.
Tucked just off the main living area, a media lounge offers the perfect hideaway with a barn wood accent wall, built-in bar, and half bath. Whether it’s movie nights, game days, or cocktail hours, this room sets the scene.
Also on the main level, the private primary wing feels like a true retreat. The large bedroom includes a relaxing sitting area and overlooks peaceful backyard views. Two walk-in closets provide ample storage, while the spa-like bathroom features dual vanities, a soaking tub, and an oversized walk-in shower. An adjacent flex room is perfect for a nursery, second office, or creative studio.
Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms, each with access to Jack-and-Jill baths, providing comfort and privacy for family or guests.
Downstairs, the finished 2,000-square-foot basement takes this home to the next level. A full home theater, entertainment lounge, kitchenette and bar, gym, and additional office or sixth bedroom with full bath make the space ideal for multigenerational living, hosting, or even running a home business. This space could easily be transformed into a guest suite or an in-law apartment.
Step outside to your private backyard oasis, fully fenced and lined with mature trees. A covered porch, screened-in area, and open-air patio offer multiple places to relax. With space for a future pool, pool house, pickleball court, or putting green, the options are as expansive as the view.
Listed by Paula Hinegardner of Paula Hinegardner Group, Keller Williams Realty, this Franklin home is listed at $2,474,900. It’s a rare chance to own a move-in-ready, custom home in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
