About This Home

As of January 2023

Welcome home to the best of River Falls living! This classic all-brick Georgian house is turn-key and has been fully updated and renovated from top to bottom, just waiting for your family to enjoy immediately without the hassles and expense of further updates or renovations. Enjoy exceptional indoor-outdoor living with three sets of double doors on the main level that open onto an expansive flagstone patio and large private flat backyard with mature landscaping designed by a master gardener. This house has a perfect location on a quiet street just a short walk down the path to the neighborhood swim and tennis club with playground and fields, making it feel like a year-round vacation residence.

This light-filled home has five bedrooms upstairs, two additional home offices/spare bedrooms, five bathrooms, and three fireplaces. The circular floor plan on the main level includes formal living and dining rooms, a home office, and a spacious renovated eat-in kitchen that opens onto the family room with fireplace and tree filled views -- perfect for entertaining or family living! A large well-lit finished basement offers additional flexible multi-purpose space and includes a recreation area with fireplace, wet bar, full bathroom, spare room/office, and a separate entry/exit to the garage through a "secret" back staircase. Two additional basement storage rooms with tool bench/work area give this home everything you could want.

This beautiful home not only has great curb appeal but also is low maintenance, with new windows, exterior doors, a "fifty-year" roof, and many other upgrades. The fully fenced backyard includes excellent deer fencing so there are plenty of hydrangea, roses and hosta that the deer would normally eat.

As insiders know, there is nothing else in the Washington DC area like the River Falls neighborhood! These solidly built homes are part of a fantastic community with swim and tennis club, excellent schools (Carderock, Pyle, Whitman), and proximity to nature. Hiking trails, Great Falls Park, and Potomac Village are all just minutes away, and there is easy access to Tysons Corner, Bethesda, and everything the Washington DC area has to offer. Start enjoying your family’s dream home right away and for many years to come!
