Listed for $995,000 by Coldwell Banker Heritage, the stone house at 9445 Ridings Blvd. has about 6,120 square feet of living space, including a finished, walk-out lower level.

Formal entry opens through double arched doors with wrought-iron accents. Inside, wood-grain and marble ceramic-tile flooring is set into a quilted design and fills the entire open main social areas of the dining room, great room and kitchen.
