Set on a private 2.01-acre cul-de-sac lot in Chesley Estates—a popular Falling Waters neighborhood with nearby access to the Potomac River—this move-in-ready home checks all the boxes and blends light-filled living with a warm, woodsy vibe. A full-length front porch welcomes you inside to an open, bright floor plan with oak hardwood floors through most of the main level, anchored by a dramatic two-story family room with a floor-to-ceiling stone wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen offers a center island with seating and a charming greenhouse window over the sink, plus a dining area with slider to the rear deck; exposed wood beams tie the spaces together. The main-level primary suite features abundant natural light, a walk-in closet, and an ensuite bath with double vanity. A large laundry/mudroom completes the main level. Upstairs adds two bedrooms, a full bath, a versatile loft, and a tucked-away office/playroom/craft room. The walkout lower level is ready for an easy finish and provides interior access to an oversized two-car garage with a storage/workshop area and a utility door to the exterior. Outdoor living shines with the full-length front porch, a charming screened-in side porch, and a rear deck overlooking the expansive yard. Bonus: a huge detached garage/workshop with electric for projects and storage. Major updates include a new roof and gutter guards (2023) and a newer gas furnace—this one is sure to impress!
