    Welcome to 13 Valerie Drive, a beautifully maintained colonial in the desirable Caravel Farms community. This spacious 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offers approximately 2,425 square feet of living space, plus a finished basement, all situated on a scenic half-acre lot. Built in 1983, the home blends timeless architecture with thoughtful updates throughout. The main level features hardwood flooring in most rooms, a bright and updated eat-in kitchen with Quartz countertops, a pantry, and recessed lighting. The adjacent family room includes exposed wood beams and a stunning brick-surround wood-burning fireplace, creating a warm and inviting space. A living room and dining room with crown molding provide great natural light and functionality for everyday living and entertaining. A main-floor laundry area, powder room, and convenient side entrance add to the home's practicality. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a walk-in closet and en-suite bath. A generous second bedroom nearly matches the primary in size and features two windows and a ceiling fan. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bathroom. Most windows have been replaced over the years, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency. The finished basement, offers additional flexible living space ideal for a game room, media area, or home office, along with ample storage. The attached two-car garage has been upgraded with new garage doors and windows to provide natural light. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a screened porch added in 2006 featuring stamped concrete flooring, ceiling fans, a wood ceiling, and built-in surround sound. The backyard is private and well landscaped, framed by mature trees offering shade and serenity. The roof was replaced in 2021, and mechanical updates include a new hot water heater and garage door openers in 2015. This home is located in a quiet, established neighborhood with low HOA dues and is just minutes from Caravel Academy, Glasgow Park, shopping, and major commuter routes, this home is a rare find offering space, comfort, and location in one of Bear’s most desirable communities.
