About This Home

As of September 2024

Spectacular brick-front rambler featuring 6 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Situated on a premium, private lot at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this home backs to hundreds of acres of beautiful wooded parkland. This magnificent home has been thoughtfully redesigned and updated, with a fabulous open and airy feel, boasting walls of glass windows bringing in tons of natural light. Newer roof, HVAC, hot water heater, and hardwood floors are just the start to the list of recent upgrades. Guests enter through the foyer and are greeted by the spacious great room with soaring cathedral ceiling. Step out from the great room onto the private deck which overlooks serene parkland. Large dinner parties or intimate meals are a treat to prepare in the state-of-the-art chef's kitchen open to the sizable dining area. The main level also includes a family room adjacent to the kitchen with wood burning fireplace, plus a mudroom area leading to the two-car oversized garage as well as a separate side entrance with flagstone pavers which wrap around to the backyard. Also on the main level, down a long hallway, is the primary bedroom suite plus three additional sizable bedrooms and a hall bath.

The walk-out lower level offers a vast recreation area for games, movie nights or enjoying the views with oversized sliding glass doors that open to the large flagstone terrace perfect for outdoor entertaining. This level includes a full bath plus two additional bedrooms, which can also be used for various purposes such as an office, exercise room, or guest suite. This level also encompasses a spacious laundry room plus a large storage area.

Located in the highly sought-after Copenhaver neighborhood and within the renowned Wootton High School District, this home provides access to wonderful parks and is minutes to major commuter routes, shopping and dining. Welcome home!
