Upstairs, hardwood floors continue throughout, complemented by multiple skylights that fill the level with natural light. Four generously sized bedrooms offer excellent closet space with built-in shelving. The expansive primary suite features a spa-like en-suite bath and a versatile sitting room that can serve as a dressing room, private office, or additional bedroom. The finished lower level provides flexible space for recreation, a home gym/media room, and an office/ guests room, along with abundant storage and an additional full bathroom. Two newer HVAC systems and a whole-house water filtration system provide year-round comfort and convenience. Outside, beautifully designed landscaping and hardscaping create an exceptional setting for entertaining and relaxing. The front and rear gardens feature multiple areas for outdoor dining and lounging, including a private enclosed terrace that feels like a natural extension of the home. A large attached two-car garage and ample guest parking add to the convenience. Within the community, five courtyards, meandering walking paths, a newly upgraded playground, and a basketball court provide wonderful spaces for recreation and neighborhood connection. The location is equally compelling. The Beach Pool & Tennis Central is adjacent to the community, while Inverness, Seven Locks, Tallyho Pools—with basketball and tennis courts—are less than a mile away. Located in the Churchill High School district and within walking distance of Georgetown Hill Early School, Bells Mill Elementary, and Cabin John Middle School, the home is also conveniently close to several highly regarded independent schools.
