Large, lovely, brick and frame Colonial in serene, picturesque setting backing to parkland, yet close to major commuting corridors and all amenities. The main entry opens to a two-story foyer with hardwood floors and beautiful winding staircase to the upper level. There are formal living and dining rooms and a bright white kitchen with center island, tastefully renovated in 2019. Open to the kitchen is a warm family room with gas fireplace - a cozy spot for reading or relaxing. Both the kitchen and the family room have sliding doors to a two-tiered deck with stairs down to a stone paver patio where you can enjoy beautiful views of the shade garden and neighboring parkland. Off the foyer is a powder room and attached 2-car garage. There are oversized windows and hardwood floors throughout this level. Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms, including a master with cathedral ceilings, walk-in closet and sophisticated, European-style, renovated bath with large shower, two vanities and floor-to-ceiling tile. There is a second, beautifully renovated bath upstairs accessed from the hallway and one of the bedrooms. A laundry room with sink and built-in cabinets offers added convenience. The finished above-ground lower level offers guest and workspace including a family/rec room with walkout to the patio, a bedroom or office, and a full bath. And the wonderful catering kitchen with sink, work island, two walls of built-in shelving and outside exit is a delightful surprise! Close to 270 and 355, moments to Seneca Creek State Park, and just a short drive to the Kentlands and downtown Crown, this home offers easy access to restaurants, shopping, commuter routes, hiking trails and kayaking - everywhere you want to be. Enjoy it all in a breathtaking parkland setting. Welcome home.
