About This Home

As of August 2025

Nestled in the highly coveted Avenel community, this exquisite home offers unrivaled luxury overlooking the 5th hole on the TPC golf course. Boasting 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and an open, sun-bathed floor plan spread across three finished levels, this residence combines elegance with functionality. Step into the soaring two-story foyer that ushers you into an expansive living room bathed in natural light from towering two-story windows. A dedicated office space provides the perfect retreat for work or study, while the great room with a cozy stone gas fireplace invites relaxation. The gourmet chef’s kitchen is a true highlight, featuring a spacious breakfast area, a large center island, high-end stainless-steel appliances, and ample cabinetry. The adjoining dining room provides an ideal setting for formal gatherings. A powder room rounds out the main floor. Outside, a large deck stretches across the rear of the home, offering serene views of trees and the golf course. The grand primary suite is a sanctuary of comfort, with a tray ceiling and a spa-like ensuite bathroom, featuring a walk-in shower, soaking tub, separate vanities, and dual walk-in closets. A closet is plumbed for an additional laundry area. A 2nd spacious bedroom, complete with its own fireplace and ensuite bath, offers privacy and charm. The 3rd and 4th bedrooms and a full bath complete the upper level, ensuring plenty of space. The expansive walk-out lower level is a true entertainment hub. Whether you're hosting movie nights in the media corner equipped with a projector and screen, enjoying a game of billiards, or relaxing at the handsome bar with a sink and wine fridge, there’s no shortage of ways to unwind. The lower level also includes a exercise room, a full bedroom with an ensuite bath, a large laundry room, and a utility closet, providing maximum convenience and versatility. New composite shake roof in 2023 Avenel’s HOA offers a wealth of amenities, including landscaping services, access to the swim and tennis club, snow and trash removal, walking paths, and security surveillance. Conveniently located just minutes from Potomac Village, this home offers easy access to shopping, dining, and essential services, as well as major highways, making commuting to downtown Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia a breeze.
