Few homes can rival this setting. Built by Rocky Gorge Homes and occupying the finest lot in The Gates of Avenel, 7809 Fox Gate Court commands sweeping views across the lake and the 13th and 14th holes of TPC Potomac—an extraordinary backdrop that changes beautifully throughout the day. A gracious two-story foyer introduces a light-filled interior designed to take full advantage of the scenery. The main level features hardwood floors, elegant living and dining rooms, and multiple fireplaces. At the heart of the home, the kitchen is equipped with stainless-steel Bosch and GE Profile appliances, along with a dedicated wine and beverage refrigerator. The kitchen opens to the breakfast area and spacious family room, creating an inviting gathering space framed by uninterrupted golf-course and lake views. Doors lead to the expansive wraparound deck, extending the living space outdoors and providing a remarkable setting for entertaining, dining, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Upstairs, the generous primary suite features dual walk-in closets and a private bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Three additional bedrooms, an updated hall bath, and conveniently located upper-level laundry complete the bedroom level. The finished walkout lower level adds tremendous flexibility with a spacious recreation room, fifth bedroom, full bath, bonus room, and direct access to the rear patio and golf-course setting—ideal for guests, a home office, fitness space, or extended living. Additional highlights include remodeled baths, a roof replaced in 2023, and an attached two-car garage. The home offers an outstanding opportunity to personalize a substantial Rocky Gorge residence while securing an irreplaceable golf-course setting. Avenel provides a genuinely effortless, low-maintenance lifestyle. Comprehensive HOA services include 24-hour community security, front, side, and rear lawn care, grounds maintenance, trash collection, recreational facilities, and beautifully maintained common areas. Residents also enjoy swimming, tennis, pickleball, parks, and scenic walking and jogging paths, with convenient access to Potomac Village, Bethesda, Washington, D.C., and Northern Virginia. Currently the lowest-priced home available in all of Avenel, 7809 Fox Gate Court represents an exceptional opportunity to enter one of Potomac’s most desirable communities without compromising on location or view. The best lot. The best view. The best value in Avenel.
