Custom four-level home built in 2011 in Bluemont/Bon Air, the #1 Best Neighborhood to Live in America as ranked by Niche[dot]com out of 5,200+ neighborhoods. This masterfully built and designed custom home includes HardiePlank siding, a whole-house generator, dual-zone HVAC, an extensive French-drainage system, and more! The home has an exceptional floor plan with bathrooms on every level, including full bathrooms in the basement and loft, a theater room in the basement, tons of storage, a loft with a full bedroom and a bonus room/office that can easily be a 5th bedroom, and a large laundry room on the bedroom level. Perfect for entertaining with an open first floor, an expansive deck made of durable Trex, and a large patio in the backyard featuring a natural gas-powered fire pit. A 16' diameter Yurt/TeePee tent can be added to the hardscape to make a more intimate indoor setting, which is perfect in the winter, spring, and fall.
