Nestled in the serene Rivers Edge subdivision, this stunning Colonial offers an exceptional blend of elegance, comfort, and natural beauty. A true sanctuary from the moment you arrive. From the street, outstanding curb appeal sets the tone. Step inside and discover over 6,000 sq feet of beautifully finished living space featuring hardwood floors throughout, a smart floor plan with natural flow, and four fireplaces that create warmth and character in every season. The updated classic kitchen is a chef's dream, boasting new cabinetry, upgraded countertops, a center island, and ample space for casual dining. Whether you're hosting a dinner party or enjoying a quiet morning, this home is designed for the way you really live. The flexible floor plan offers remarkable versatility. Five bedrooms grace the upper level, while the main level features a room perfectly suited as an office or additional bedroom, conveniently located across from a full bath. The walk-out lower level — fully finished with multiple entrances, a wet/dry bar, and endless possibilities for recreation or relaxation — includes an additional bedroom and full bath, bringing the total to 6 bedrooms (main level bed/office could be the 7th!) and 6.5 bathrooms. A three-car attached garage, a 5-years-new roof, double-pane windows, and thoughtful finishes throughout round out the interior appointments. But perhaps the most memorable feature of this home is what lies just beyond your back door. Backing to a lush canopy of trees on an expansive 2.24-acre lot, this property feels like a world away — offering complete privacy, serene wooded views in the back, and a park-like setting that transforms your patios and deck into a peaceful retreat for morning coffee or evening gatherings. And the location delivers even more. Private neighborhood trails connect directly to the C&O Canal National Historical Park towpath — miles of scenic beauty for walking, cycling, and exploring, right at your doorstep. This is not simply a place to live. It is a place where elegance meets nature, and where every detail has been thoughtfully considered. Welcome home.
