It enjoys a renovated bath ensuite, with a large seamless glass shower, a soaking tub and Pottery Barn dual vanities. Three other bedrooms, all floored in hardwood, share a lovely renovated hall bath. The lower level is partially finished and boasts a large rec room with brick hearth fireplace which has been converted to gas (but can easily be converted back to wood). It opens to an auxiliary room, infused with daylight, which could be used as a game room or den but which is also suitable (and being used) as a 5th (guest) bedroom. It enjoys a full bath with shower. This lower level also boasts a craft room, or exercise room. Ample storage space remains, which could easily accommodate your future wants or needs. Everything has been done for you, even to include an expanded electrical panel, which was entirely replaced in 2010. The gracious rolling lawn is maintained by an irrigation system, installed in 2011. Both brick chimneys were inspected, repointed and waterproofed, with 3 crack-resistant concrete crowns installed in 2017. The community of Oakton Vale is prized for its long winding roads, fringed with mature trees. Difficult Run parkland is threaded throughout the community, giving access to miles of trails. This home is ready for its new owner. You will not find a more pristine, elegantly presented home in Oakton.
