Listing details

A beautifully appointed three-level townhome offering timeless architectural details, warm hardwood flooring, and thoughtfully designed living spaces, with over $116,000 in updates. The entry level welcomes you with a versatile recreation room and a study, thoughtfully separated by interior transom-style windows that allow natural light to flow between the spaces while maintaining definition. This flexible layout is ideal for a home office, library, fitness area, or guest overflow. A renovated powder room enhances functionality, creating the perfect balance of comfort and convenience for today’s lifestyle. Upstairs, the main living level is elevated by rich hardwood floors, extensive crown molding, recessed lighting, and an inviting open layout. The elegant staircase showcases crisp white balusters, and contrasting dark handrails, adding architectural character and visual interest. The kitchen seamlessly connects to the breakfast area and family room, blending warmth and sophistication. Neutral tones create a serene backdrop while refined finishes make a statement. Highlights include an elongated center island with breakfast bar seating, rich wood cabinetry, Silestone countertops and backsplash, and a chef’s sink with grid rack and modern pull-down chrome faucet. A striking starburst lighting anchors the breakfast area, while the adjoining family room features a dramatic double-sided gas fireplace with a sleek honed stone surround. Kitchen updates were completed between 2015 and 2020. The spacious dining area is illuminated by a mid-century inspired chandelier and flows through an open-concept dividing wall into a grand living room with oversized windows overlooking tranquil wetlands, creating a beautiful connection to nature. The upper level serene owner’s suite featuring hardwood floors, two custom closets, an Altus ceiling fan, modern blackout shades, and space for a seating area. The spa-inspired ensuite bath, fully remodeled in 2018, showcases a marble-topped dual vanity, framed Gabby mirrors, a soaking tub, and oversized floor tile that grounds the space with a clean, modern aesthetic. The walk-in shower is appointed with a porcelain surround and backsplash, frameless glass enclosure, large showerhead with hand sprayer, and refined fixtures, creating a true spa-like experience. A Toto commode and frosted window enhance both comfort and privacy. Two additional upper-level bedrooms offer warmth and architectural appeal with hardwood floors, statement lighting, and a cozy window seat perfect for reading or relaxing. The secondary full bath, also remodeled in 2018, continues the spa-like aesthetic with classic white subway tile, built-in niche, polished chrome fixtures, rain-style showerhead, and timeless penny tile flooring. Every detail has been thoughtfully curated from crown molding and trim work to lighting and finishes creating a home that blends classic elegance with modern comfort across all three levels. The finished oversized two-car garage was freshly painted in 2026, offering clean, functional space for both parking and storage. Located within the highly sought-after Potomac Greens community, residents enjoy exceptional convenience to Amazon HQ2, the Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, and Potomac Yard Metro.
