This home sits on a prime wooded lot backing to trees and is zoned for the premier River Hill school district. Major exterior updates include a new roof with architectural shingles (2019), new vinyl siding (2012), energy-efficient windows (2009), new septic tank (2012), an easy-care composite deck (2012), and a two-zone HVAC system (2012/2017) with UV air filtration. The heart of the home is the stunning 800 sq. ft. addition completed in 2012, which flows seamlessly with the original layout. Inside, rich Brazilian Koa hardwoods span both the main and lower levels. The renovated eat-in kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring refaced cabinets, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, upgraded stainless steel appliances, and a breakfast bar with pendant lighting. The main level hosts three spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a primary suite designed for relaxation. The primary bedroom features a sitting room with cathedral ceilings, a slider to the rear deck, and double walk-in closets. Its renovated ensuite bathroom is equipped with a double-sink vanity, a glass walk-in shower, extensive tile work, and heated floors. Throughout the home, crown molding and an extensive recessed lighting package add a touch of sophistication. The finished walk-out lower level serves as a versatile living space, featuring an expansive recreation room with a propane fireplace and dual sliders (2015) that lead to the rear paver patio with low-voltage lighting. This level also includes two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets, a third full bathroom, a laundry closet, and a dedicated storage/utility room. Outdoor amenities include a welcoming front porch, a two-car garage with a workspace, a massive walk-in shed and NO HOA fees (shared driveway fee of approx. $200/yr applies). This is an immaculate home and a must see!
