Colonial

Home has been freshly painted throughout. Located in prestigious McLean Hunt and set back from the street on a pipestem, this stunning home backs to an HOA-maintained park and county watershed. The beautifully landscaped yard welcomes you to a spacious home and as you enter, the foyer greets you with access to a formal living room, formal dining room, stairs to the 4 bedrooms in the “residence”, and elegant hardwood throughout. Moving past the main floor half-bath and into the huge chef’s dream kitchen, the house opens to natural light everywhere, emphasizing the tranquility of the home’s location. The hillside drops away from the house providing commanding views of the park and, everywhere, trees and sunlight. The screened in deck off the kitchen includes a well-maintained hot tub, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the “Swiss Family Robinson” feel of being in the trees. Stepping back into the kitchen, an open and airy sense greets you with easy sightlines over a granite topped bar complete with beverage refrigerator, into the family room with a gas fireplace and beautiful custom-made mantle, and into the formal living room. The eat-in kitchen features floor-to-ceiling cabinetry with rich wainscoting, redundancy of appliances, and expansive granite covered countertops and over-sized island. Upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms with wall-to-wall carpet over hardwood sharing a full bathroom and a magnificent primary suite that includes a large sitting area/office, gorgeous three-sided gas fireplace, huge ensuite, digital shower and steam room, bubble-jet tub, his/hers vanities with granite countertops, heated floor, and an enormous primary closet with built-in cabinetry and a large island. A wall of windows and French doors open to a private sundeck off the primary. The suite includes a breakfast bar for morning coffee and a reinforced wall for mounting a TV to view late night thrillers and morning news. The huge, fully finished basement is dry and comfortable and with the third of three gas fireplaces accenting a TV room with an 82” UHD smart TV and wiring for surround sound. French doors open onto a covered patio for quiet moments stepping outside to take in nature and the occasional passing deer. The adjacent game room includes a 7’ wet bar with microwave and refrigerator, pool table (with ping-pong table top), dartboard with backboard, and more. The other half of the basement provides space for an office and gym or a mother-in-law suite that includes a full bath, sitting room, built-in bookshelves, walk-in closet, and bedroom with separate entrance/exit onto a covered porch. Updates over the past several years include a new roof and all new energy efficient windows throughout the house. Cat-6 cabling was installed for hard-wired ethernet throughout the house in addition to cable for TV. Electrical outlets abound to support today’s connected lifestyle. A whole house generator ensures family comfort with lights, entertainment, and refrigerated food. An additional AC system, heavy insulation, and more have made the climate in the house well-regulated with multiple zones for excellent comfort. The garage floor was sealed in late 2019, adding a polished look. An alarm system covers exterior access points with key panels throughout the house and in the master suite. Storage abounds with insulated, walk-in, under-eaves storage accessible from the primaryr suite, air-conditioned and carpeted space in the primary closet, climate-controlled storage under the steps to the basement, and more. The front yard is quick and easy to mow and back and side yards are mulched and covered with ground cover. The terraced back yard protects from erosion concerns and adds to the beauty of the landscaping which flows smoothly into the park. The home’s exterior HardiPlank is zero-maintenance for lasting beauty and appeal. Compare price/sqft; at $372 per sqft this property is well below the average for recent sales.
