Welcome to The Preserve at Barleywood, an exclusive luxury community in Charles Town. With over 5,000sqft of finished living space, this stunning residence offers an unparalleled blend of modern luxury and high-tech convenience, having undergone an extensive, top-to-bottom renovation. The interior shines with fresh paint, custom lighting and premium flooring throughout. A striking staircase with sleek black metal and cable railings serves as the centerpiece of the grand foyer. Flanked by a home office and formal living room, it leads into a light-filled, open-concept space anchored by a soaring two-story stone fireplace, dramatic Palladian windows, and a modern geometric chandelier. A light-filled dining room sits just behind the living area, offering a seamless flow perfect for both intimate dinners and large-scale entertaining. The heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen equipped with sleek granite countertops, professional-grade appliances, integrated wine refrigeration, and automated hidden ventilation. A renovated half-bath, featuring a modern floating vanity and custom lighted mirror, sits adjacent to a mudroom conveniently located off the two-car garage. The primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, boasting a custom tray-ceiling bedroom with tailored lighting, a massive walk-in closet complete with a central storage island, and a spa-inspired bath finished in floor-to-ceiling tile. This exquisite ensuite includes a private water closet, his-and-hers floating vanities, and an expansive, multi-head curbless walk-in shower alongside a deep soaking tub. The fully built-out basement is a masterpiece of efficiency and comfort, featuring enhanced soundproofed drywall and insulation, custom crown moulding and baseboards prepped for future cove lighting, and low-voltage conduits hidden behind the walls. It also encompasses a full bathroom with a curbless shower and a floating vanity. Designed for the modern lifestyle, the home is a digital powerhouse, featuring CAT 6 cabling throughout, multiple triple-jacks in the basement for server setups, a whole-house surge protector, and infrastructure ready for 2Gig fiber internet. Entertainment is seamless with dedicated surround-sound wiring in the family room and home theater, which includes a custom in-wall component rack, concealed cable management, and additional pull-strings for future-proofing; even the game room and professional-grade rubber-floored home gym are hardwired for sound. Practicality meets peace of mind with a 2018 roof, new dual-zone Bosch HVAC systems for superior energy efficiency, and a whole-house UV water purification system. This utility is matched by a fully finished garage workshop complete with its own electrical sub-panel, dedicated plumbing, and specialized lighting. Outside, the property serves as a private retreat, featuring a fenced yard with elegant stone columns and beautifully curated landscaping, including Japanese maples, dogwoods, red maples, pin oaks, cedar trees, and a lush arborvitae hedge row. Located in charming Charles Town, this home offers the perfect balance of small-town serenity and accessibility. You are minutes away from the world-class outdoor recreation of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park, where hiking the Appalachian Trail, whitewater rafting, and kayaking the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers await. Residents also enjoy proximity to acclaimed Loudoun County wineries, while commuters benefit from a manageable drive to the D.C. metro area. This residence is the ideal sanctuary for those who value both seamless work-life integration and weekend adventure. Come experience this rare fusion of high-tech living and refined comfort for yourself.
