This ranch-style house sits on a half-acre and the lot feels much larger as it backs up to Quantico Creek, a main tributary of the Potomac River. The red brick driveway & front walk bring you to front double doors that open to Australian Cypress hardwood floors throughout the entire house. Oversized windows in the family room overlook the water and can be seen from the living room, where you can enjoy the wet bar or fireplace—both of which are made of hand-laid stone. Have your morning coffee on the screened in porch while you watch the sunrise and nature come alive, then make your way to the wood-paneled office (bedroom #4) overlooking the creek in the backyard that flows out into the Potomac. The kitchen is newly renovated and is perfect for cooking and entertaining friends and family. It features custom maple cabinets, stainless steel Bosch appliances, three ovens and a large island with surplus counter, storage and seating space. The open-floor plan flows from the breakfast nook to the kitchen, and then the dining area. From there, the dining area features a sliding glass door that leads to a screened in porch and open deck, where you can take in the waterfront beauty of this home and enjoy the custom pond and waterfall. The flat backyard is the perfect place to enjoy the warm summer evenings and the peaceful surroundings, making it the ideal spot for barbecues, outdoor dining and gatherings. The primary bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, large windows overlooking the water, and two walk-in closets—one of which has custom shelving. This well-maintained house has been kept consistently up-to-date and features no HOA charges. In addition to the renovations mentioned above, the climate-controlled crawlspace was encapsulated in 2019. The roof was replaced in 2017. The windows in the kitchen and nook were upgraded in 2022. Finally, the HVAC system was replaced in 2016 and is still within the 10-year warranty. This home offers comfort, style and location—a quiet oasis just minutes away from shopping, dining and entertainment. This home is a must see and won’t last long.
