The gorgeous Carolina model you have been waiting for, on the best cul de sac in Riverside Gardens, has arrived!

Current owners have lovingly and meticulously updated the property at every turn with tasteful and timeless finishes! Welcoming foyer with new ceramic tile flooring, features beautifully restored French Doors from (fun fact!) Ted Kennedy's office at The Capital! Beautiful formal living room and dining room are wonderful spaces for gathering and entertaining. A brand new chef's kitchen in 2023 with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops await your culinary adventures! Open concept kitchen steps into spacious and sun filled family room with black marble surround wood burning fireplace, built-ins and elegant double glass doors out to patio and expansive, level and sunny garden. All three baths recently renovated with classic fixtures and terrific functionality. Hardwood floors on main and upper level - gleaming main level floors have just been refinished! Crown molding, box molding and freshly painted throughout with light and airy chic decorator paint! The main level also offers a unique mud room, laundry area and storage room all in one! The upper level of the home features an oversized primary bedroom with en suite primary bath. The primary bedroom also features ample closet space. Three more bedrooms (one with access to a walk-in attic with loads of storage space) and a fully updated second bathroom complete the second level of the home. 240V breaker is wired for any additions you would like to make - jet tub or hot tub! Spring has sprung in Riverside Gardens with all the gorgeous colors of the season! Short stroll to Stratford Landing Elementary, Carl Sandburg Middle School and bus stop for West Potomac High School! 5 minute walk to Riverside Gardens Swim and Tennis Club where everyone congregates in the summer, with swim team, tennis lessons, yoga and fitness classes. Terrific proximity to numerous conveniences and amenities like the quaint Hollin Hall Shopping Center, Old Town, Mount Vernon, Potomac River, Fort Hunt Park, and more.
