The Open-Concept Kitchen With a Black Tile Backsplash

The kitchen is open to the main living area and features a striking black tile backsplash. It is the visual centerpiece of the main level and built for both daily cooking and hosting.

The kitchen is the first thing that grabs you in the tour. It is open-concept, so it flows right into the main living space instead of hiding behind walls.

The standout detail is the black tile backsplash. It gives the room a bold, modern look that feels custom. Bold design choices like this help a new build stand out from older homes in the area.

Why does an open kitchen matter for you? A few reasons:

• You can cook and still talk with family or guests.
• Parents can keep an eye on kids while making dinner.
• Game-day and holiday hosting is easier when everyone shares one space.

When you tour in person, take time to open the cabinets and check the pantry space. Ask your agent which finishes are included in the $869,900 price. That way you know exactly what you are getting.

Think about how you really live, too. If you host big family dinners, look at where guests will sit and where food will be served. If you cook every night, picture your daily path from the fridge to the stove to the sink. A kitchen that fits your routine is worth more than any single finish.

Main-Level Living: Home Office and Mudroom

The main level includes a dedicated home office and a mudroom connected to the 3-car garage. Both features make daily life easier for remote workers, military families and busy households.

The main floor is about more than the kitchen. It also has a dedicated home office. That is a big deal if you work from home, run a side business or need a quiet spot for study or paperwork.

A real office with a door beats a corner of the dining table every time. It also keeps work stuff out of your family space.

Next is the mudroom connected to the 3-car garage. This is one of the most practical features in any Utah home. Our winters bring snow and slush, and spring brings mud.

A mudroom gives you a place to drop:

• Boots, coats and backpacks
• Golf bags and sports gear
• Ski and snowboard equipment after a day at Snowbasin

It keeps the mess out of your kitchen and living room. Families love this feature once they live with it.

The Upstairs Primary Suite With Golf Course Views

The primary suite is upstairs and includes a soaking tub and direct views of the golf course. It is designed to feel like a private retreat at the end of the day.

Head upstairs and you reach what may be the best room in the house. The primary suite has direct golf course views. You can wake up and look straight out over the fairway.

The bathroom includes a soaking tub. After a long day at work or on base, that tub is a real reward.

Golf course views have another benefit you may not think of. A fairway behind your home means no neighbor's house right behind yours. That gives you more open space, more light and more privacy than a typical backyard.

During your showing, stand at the bedroom windows at different times of day if you can. Notice the light, the view and how close the fairway feels. It will help you picture life in the home.

Having the primary suite upstairs also puts some distance between you and the main living space. If kids are up late in the basement or guests are visiting, you still have a quiet place to rest. That separation is one reason this layout works well for busy households.

Additional Bedrooms and Flexible Space

The home has 4+ bedrooms total, giving growing families, guests or a home gym plenty of room. The exact layout of each room is best confirmed during a private showing.

The listing describes the home as having 4+ bedrooms. That gives you a lot of flexibility on how you use the space.

Here are some common ways families use extra bedrooms:

• A room for each child
• A guest room for visiting family
• A home gym or hobby room
• A second office for a working spouse

For military families, extra bedrooms matter. Family often visits after a PCS move, and a guest room makes that easier.

Because exact room sizes are not in the video description, I recommend you walk each room in person or on a live video tour. Bring a tape measure if you have big furniture. I am happy to help you confirm the details before you write an offer.

A Fully Finished Basement Ready for Game Days

The basement is fully finished, which adds usable living space right away. It is set up as a great spot for game days, movie nights, guests or a play area.

Many new builds come with an unfinished basement. You then pay extra to finish it later. This home is different. The basement is fully finished and ready to use the day you move in.

The video tour calls it ready for game days, and it is easy to see why. It gives you a second living area that is separate from the main floor.

A finished basement can be used for:

• A family room or media room
• A kids' play area
• Guest space for visitors
• A workout area

Finishing a basement after you close can cost a lot and take months. Getting it done up front saves you time and stress. It may also let you roll the finished space into your mortgage instead of paying cash later.

A finished basement is also handy for sleepovers, teen hangouts or visiting grandparents. Everyone gets their own space without stepping on each other's toes. When you tour, check the lighting, the flooring and the storage areas so you can plan how you will use each part of the room.

3-Car Garage and Living on Hole #1

The home has a 3-car garage connected to a mudroom and backs to Hole #1 of Schneiter's Riverside Golf Course. That gives you storage space plus open views behind the home.

A 3-car garage is a big plus in Northern Utah. You can park two cars inside during winter and still have a bay for storage, tools, a workbench or toys.

That third bay is perfect for:

• Bikes, kayaks and camping gear
• Ski and snowboard storage
• Golf carts or golf gear
• Military gear and moving boxes

Then there is the location. The home sits directly on Hole #1 of Schneiter's Riverside Golf Course. If you love golf, it is hard to beat having the first tee so close.

Even if you do not golf, you get green views and open space behind your home. When you visit, ask about any rules for fences or landscaping near the course. Also look at how the yard is positioned relative to the fairway so you know what to expect.

Price and Builder Incentives: The 3.99% Rate Buydown

The home is listed at $869,900. Fieldstone Homes is offering a rate buydown option for a 3.99% interest rate in year one, or a 5.99% fixed rate for 30 years.

The asking price is $869,900. But price is only half the story. Your monthly payment depends a lot on your interest rate.

Fieldstone Homes is offering a massive rate buydown option. You can choose:

• 3.99% interest for the first year, or
• 5.99% fixed for 30 years

The 3.99% option lowers your payment in year one. After that, the rate steps up based on the loan terms. The 5.99% fixed option gives you a steady rate for the full life of the loan.

Which one is right for you depends on your plans. If you expect to refinance or move on PCS orders, the lower first-year rate may help most. If you plan to stay long term, the fixed rate offers payment stability. According to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, you should always compare loan estimates side by side before you choose. Incentives can change, so call me to confirm what is available today.

Here is a simple way to think about it. A lower rate in year one frees up cash while you settle in, buy furniture or handle moving costs. A lower fixed rate keeps saving you money month after month for as long as you keep the loan. Your lender can run both scenarios so you see the real difference in dollars.

Riverside Estates Neighborhood and Weber County Schools

The home is in Riverside Estates in Riverdale and is served by the Weber County School District. Assigned schools are Riverdale Elementary, T.H. Bell Junior High and Bonneville High School.

Riverdale sits in Weber County, between Ogden and the Davis County line. It gives you easy freeway access while still feeling like a settled, local community. Learn more on our Weber County community page.

This home is in Riverside Estates, right along Schneiter's Riverside Golf Course. Homes on or near a course often have more open space and a quieter feel.

The home falls in the Weber County School District. The listed schools are:

• Riverdale Elementary
• T.H. Bell Junior High
• Bonneville High School

School boundaries can shift over time. Always confirm current assignments with the district before you buy. If schools are a top priority, visit them or talk with other parents in the area.

Living along a golf course also shapes daily life. You may see golfers in the morning, enjoy quiet evenings and have green space as your backdrop. Spend some time in the neighborhood at different times of day to get a true feel for it before you buy.

Commute to Hill AFB and Drive Times

The home is about 14 minutes from the Hill Air Force Base South Gate and 28 minutes from Snowbasin Resort. That makes it a strong fit for both base commuters and outdoor lovers.

For many buyers, the commute is a deal-breaker. This home makes it easy. It is about 14 minutes to the Hill AFB South Gate.

A short drive to base means more time with family and less time in traffic. It also helps on early duty days or when you get called in.

You also get fast access to the mountains. The home is about 28 minutes to Snowbasin Resort. That means you can ski in the morning and be home for lunch.

Drive times can change with weather, traffic and construction. I always suggest you test the drive at the time you would actually commute. For base info, gate details and updates, check the official Hill Air Force Base website.

Riverdale's location is a big part of the appeal. You are close to shopping, dining and freeway access, yet you can still reach the base and the mountains quickly. That balance is hard to find, and it is one reason many Hill AFB families look at homes in this part of Weber County.

PCSing to Hill AFB? Why This Home Works for Military Families

This home combines a 14-minute drive to Hill AFB, a finished basement, a 3-car garage for gear and builder incentives that can pair well with a VA loan. It is built for a smooth PCS move.

This home checks those boxes:

Using a VA Loan on This Riverdale New Build

Eligible veterans and service members can use a VA loan on new construction like this home. Pairing the VA loan with the builder's rate buydown can help you lower your monthly payment.

If you are a veteran or active-duty service member, your VA loan benefit may be one of your best tools. According to the VA home loan program, eligible buyers may be able to buy with no down payment and no private mortgage insurance, depending on their entitlement and the lender.

The video description invites veterans to ask how to maximize VA loan benefits alongside these builder incentives. That is a smart move. A rate buydown plus VA financing can make a big difference in your monthly budget.

Steps to get started:

1. Get your Certificate of Eligibility (COE).
2. Talk with a VA-experienced lender.
3. Get pre-approved before you tour.
4. Ask the lender how the builder buydown works with your VA loan.

VA loans do have a funding fee for many buyers, though some veterans with service-connected disability are exempt. Your lender can explain your exact costs.

Down Payment and Closing Costs to Plan For

Your down payment depends on your loan type, from as little as zero with an eligible VA loan to larger amounts with conventional financing. Plan for closing costs and ask how incentives apply.

Your upfront cash depends on how you finance. Here is a simple look at common options:

On top of your down payment, plan for closing costs. These can include lender fees, title fees, prepaid taxes and insurance.

Builder incentives are often used toward a rate buydown or closing costs. Ask how the Fieldstone incentive is applied in your case. Your lender's Loan Estimate will show your real numbers, so get one early.

New Build vs Resale on a Golf Course

A new build gives you modern finishes, a builder warranty and incentives like rate buydowns. Resale golf course homes may offer mature landscaping but often need updates and rarely come with rate help.

Golf course homes in Northern Utah are often older resales. Those homes can be lovely, but they may need new paint, flooring, appliances or mechanical updates.

Here is why a new construction golf course home stands out:

• Modern design, like this open kitchen with a black tile backsplash
• Builder warranty coverage on many items
• Incentives, like the 3.99% first-year rate option
• Finished spaces, like the basement, already done
• Fewer surprise repairs in the first few years

Resales may offer mature trees and an established yard. But they rarely come with a builder rate buydown. When you add up updates and financing costs, a new build can come out ahead. I can help you compare both side by side.

Also think about energy use and maintenance. Newer systems and newer materials usually mean fewer repair calls in the early years. That gives you more time to enjoy the golf course views and less time fixing things on weekends.

Resale Value and Who This Home Fits Best

Golf course lots are limited, which can support long-term demand. This home fits golfers, military families near Hill AFB, remote workers and anyone who wants space, views and a finished basement.

No one can promise future prices. But some features tend to hold appeal over time. Golf course frontage is one of them, because there are only so many lots on a course.

A finished basement, a 3-car garage and a home office also appeal to many buyers. That can help if you sell or rent the home after your next set of orders.

This home is a great fit for:

• Golfers who want Hole #1 out back
• Military families who want a short drive to Hill AFB
• Remote workers who need a real office
• Outdoor lovers who want quick access to Snowbasin
• Growing families who need 4+ bedrooms

Your Move-In Timeline and What to Inspect

A typical path runs from pre-approval to tour, offer, inspection and closing. Even on new construction, get an independent inspection and do a careful final walkthrough before you close.

Here is a simple timeline for buying this home:

1. Get pre-approved with a lender, ideally one who knows VA and builder incentives.
2. Tour the home in person or by live video.
3. Write your offer and choose your rate buydown option.
4. Order an inspection and review the results.
5. Final walkthrough and closing.

Yes, you should inspect a new build. Builders are human, and small issues can slip through. An independent inspector works for you, not the builder.

Things to check closely:

• Grading and drainage, especially near the golf course
• Windows and doors for proper seals
• The finished basement for moisture or finish issues
• Heating, cooling and water heater setup
• The garage door and mudroom entry

Also ask for the builder warranty details in writing so you know what is covered.
