    Welcome to 824 Emerald Drive.... a truly special opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind, meticulously maintained home on what has come to be known as the "Gold Coast" of Waynewood. The Gold Coast is a small portion of Emerald Drive that backs to the GW Parkway and the Potomac River. It is a lovely little nook in this beloved neighborhood with pristinely maintained homes each with a distinct charm and personality. 824 Emerald is a stately center hall colonial that is expansive both inside and out! It has delightful views of the Potomac River through the mature trees on and off the property and is positioned beautifully on the lot with a seemingly endless backyard that feels so happy and comfortable. The exquisite curb appeal is noteworthy but not unusual as each property that surrounds this home is pristinely cared for adding to the magical charm of this lovely spot. Upon entering the home, you immediately see the fastidious attention to detail from the copious amounts of molding and trim work to special touches that enhance the unmatched appeal of this property. The house flows pleasantly from room to room and floor to floor. On the main level, there is a formal living area w/ a fireplace, dining room, gourmet kitchen with a side-by-side Subzero refrigerator and freezer, family room w/ another fireplace, a large sunroom w/ wraparound windows, and a full bathroom. On the upper level, there are five sizable bedrooms, including a primary suite with a large primary bathroom and multiple closets, two full bathrooms and access to an upper-level deck. The lower level has a comfortable and cozy basement family room with a built-in bar, an additional room which would be perfect for an office or workout space and a full bathroom with a sauna. There are walk-up stairs to the sprawling yard from the basement as well. 2 car side loading garage. Extraordinary opportunity to own an exceptional property in this special community! A must see! Did I mention GOLD COAST? Fun fact- this home was owned by former Washington Redskins player, Sam Huff! If these walls could talk...... !
