Nestled on a sprawling 1.67-acre plot, this timeless five-bedroom, three-and-one-half-bath Colonial home boasts a welcoming 5,000 square feet of living space that is brimming with natural light from oversized windows. From the screened-in back porch to the stone patio and rear deck, this property's impeccable landscaping envelops you in a world of privacy and tranquility, surrounded by mature trees and lush greenery of Goshen Estates. Family and guests are beckoned inside by the classic brick walkway that winds towards the covered front entry and alluring curb appeal. The center-hall foyer leads you to both the living and dining rooms, each adorned with hardwood floors and crown moldings that showcase the home's exquisite craftsmanship. The eat-in kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances, a center island, and French doors that open onto the screened-in porch, is easily accessible from the attached two-car garage via a convenient mudroom, washer/dryer, and powder room. Beyond the kitchen lies an additional spacious dining room, complete with a striking brick fireplace, perfect for entertaining guests. The great room's soaring cathedral ceilings flood the room with natural light, thanks to its expansive windows, including a Palladian window that captures the property's spectacular views. The study, too, boasts a beautiful Palladian window and built-in bookcases, offering a serene backdrop for work or relaxation. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms, including the owner's suite with an en suite full bath and a walk-in closet, offer ample space for rest and rejuvenation. An additional dual-sink hall bath, more storage, and a spacious attic complete this level. The massive lower level provides even more entertainment options, including a spacious recreation room, and an in-law suite with a kitchenette, private entrance, and the fifth bedroom with a full bathroom. Additional storage can be found in the lower level and an attractive storage shed in the backyard. Pride of ownership is evident in the maintenance and improvements throughout the home. Home features updated heating and cooling systems, newer roof, stainless appliances, refreshed paint and decor. Known as a hidden treasure of a neighborhood, Goshen Estates was developed specifically to cultivate idyllic homesites while being conveniently located close to major transportation routes, including I-270, I-495, and the Metro. 8540 Plum Creek Drive offers a serene retreat that is still within easy reach of the hustle and bustle of city life.
