Tucked within the heart of the esteemed Potomac Green community lies one of its grandest residences—an architectural gem rarely seen on the market. This elegant four-level Colonial home, bathed in natural light and thoughtfully crafted across 3,700 square feet, weaves comfort, sophistication, and functionality into a seamless tapestry. Designed for modern living, its generous floor plan gracefully accommodates the rhythm of daily life, blending the needs of remote work, refined relaxation, and gracious entertaining. With four bedrooms, three and a half baths, a dedicated home office, a stately library, and a sweeping grand room adorned with bespoke enhancements, the home invites both admiration and ease. Every corner reflects meticulous attention to detail—from the custom-built bookcases in the library and grand room to the graceful interplay of crown molding and wainscoting, which lend a sense of timeless grandeur to the interiors. The journey begins at the main entry, where the library greets with a quiet dignity, a versatile space that may serve as a fifth bedroom, complete with its own full bath. As you ascend into the heart of the home, the main level unfurls with an effortless elegance, revealing a soaring grand room with ten-foot ceilings, a gourmet kitchen gleaming with high-end Viking appliances, a refined dining room, and a sunlit balcony outfitted with a natural gas grill—perfect for evenings spent under open skies. The third level offers a sanctuary in the form of the owner's suite, a tranquil retreat adorned with custom closets, tailored window treatments, and a hand-crafted area rug that anchors the space in warmth. Here, two additional bedrooms, drenched in natural light and graced with verdant views, share another full bath, while a cleverly designed laundry room—complete with built-in cabinetry—adds a touch of everyday comfort. Crowning the residence is a top-floor haven, conceived as a private guest suite or an inspired home office retreat. This level boasts a spacious bedroom, walk-in closet, full bath, and a separate living area that opens to an expansive rooftop deck. Framed by floor-to-ceiling windows, the space offers an exquisite venue for alfresco dining, enhanced by a gas grill hookup. Fresh paint throughout the interior and exterior, along with a new dual-zone HVAC system, ensures the home is as well-maintained as it is beautiful. Beyond its walls, the community itself echoes the charm of a storybook village, with a clubhouse, gym, swimming pool, party room, and ample green spaces dotted with tot lots and walking paths. Pocket parks and fiber-optic connectivity from Verizon enrich the living experience, while the tree-lined streets and brick sidewalks recall the timeless elegance of Old Town Alexandria. The home’s location is unparalleled-steps from the Potomac Yard Metro Station and a short stroll to Potomac Yard Center, close to the new Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, and just minutes from the cultural heartbeat of Old Town, Reagan National Airport, Amazon’s HQ2, and downtown Washington, D.C. With biking trails that stretch from Mount Vernon to the capital, every commute or escape becomes an experience. This is more than a home—it is a lifestyle, a rare opportunity to dwell in style and convenience.
