Warmed by modern proportions, this stately, light-infused center-hall, 4 BR, 2.5 bath Colonial (built in 1969) is located less than a mile from the Potomac River. The two-level home is gracefully situated on just under half an acre, and thoughtfully renovated. A 2021 architecturally sophisticated large patio addition with structural columns lends itself to an all-weather living space (with option to screen in). The recessed lighting, wrought iron chandelier, dual propellor-inspired ceiling fans, and stone hearth with wood burning fireplace accentuate this elegant conduit to the rear yard. The back landscape is fully fenced-in (2021), punctuated with old growth trees, with rear and front yard irrigation systems (2021), exterior lighting (2021), French drains (2021), and new sod (2021).

This light-filled home has hardwood floors (refinished 2015) and tile flooring, recessed lighting and crown moulding throughout the main level. (There are hardwood floors beneath the carpet on the second level). The fully renovated kitchen features an eat-in dining room with built-in buffet and French doors opening to the back garden. It has plenty of cabinetry and storage, three wall ovens, four drawer-style Fisher Paykel dishwashers with dedicated waterlines (2020), an island with 5-burner cooktop and seating for three. The formal Dining Room pops with a light brick accent wall. The bright family room has a custom, Silestone countertop bar, cabinetry, and wine fridge (2022). Upper level is four bedrooms and two full baths. The spacious primary bedroom has an en suite bathroom with shower. The three comfortable additional bedrooms share a hall bathroom with bathtub with niche and warm, neutral granite vanity and tile.

This move-in ready home underwent a complete roof replacement and new gutters, as well as siding replacement with Hardyboard on second floor (2018), Carrier Heat pump (2018), A/C condenser (2017), gas furnace (2017), and air handler (2017). A new garage door system was installed (2019). In 2006, the home was remodeled ($250,000), the main floor ceiling height raised, and the plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems replaced and modernized. The initial kitchen and family room were completely remodeled and expanded to incorporate an eat-in dining area with built-in cabinetry and buffet. All windows were replaced (Anderson, double paned, 2007).

This home is well maintained, incorporating current design elements while staying harmonious and true to its Colonial architectural style. It’s move-in ready in an established neighborhood with amenities nearby: 1.5 Miles to Hollin Hall Shopping Center with Village Hardware, River Bend Bistro, Shell gas station, hair salon, barber shop, bank, and cleaners. And just under a mile to the Potomac River & Trail and Riverside Park.
