Property Description
Welcome to this beautifully maintained Augusta Villa in the highly sought-after Villages of Steeplechase, where easy living, exceptional privacy, and outstanding community amenities come together in one of La Plata's most desirable neighborhoods. Tucked away on a quiet street with minimal through traffic, this home backs to mature woods, offering a peaceful backdrop that's increasingly difficult to find. One of the true highlights is the oversized screened porch-an incredible outdoor living space that feels like a private retreat. Whether you're enjoying your morning coffee, dining al fresco, or simply relaxing with a good book, you'll appreciate the tranquil wooded views and the rare privacy of having no homes behind you. Just beyond, the spacious composite deck provides even more room to entertain or unwind while surrounded by nature. Inside, the open-concept floor plan is warm, inviting, and designed for both everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. Hardwood floors, soaring 9-foot ceilings, crown molding, updated lighting, and new ceiling fans enhance the bright, spacious interior. The great room features a cozy gas fireplace with custom built-in cabinetry and flows seamlessly into the formal dining area, creating the perfect setting for gatherings large or small. The main level offers the convenience of true one-level living with two generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite, along with a second full bath for guests. The finished walkout lower level adds tremendous flexibility with a large recreation room, third bedroom, full bath, laundry room, and an additional bonus room that can easily serve as a fourth bedroom, home office, fitness room, craft room, or media space-adapting to your lifestyle as your needs change. Living in the Villages of Steeplechase means enjoying a true low-maintenance lifestyle. The HOA includes lawn mowing, mulching, shrub trimming, and front-yard irrigation, giving you more time to enjoy the community's exceptional amenities, including a clubhouse, two fitness centers, a swimming pool, scenic wooded walking trails, and a playground. Adding even more value, this section of Steeplechase has no front foot fee and offers a quieter, more intimate neighborhood setting with minimal through traffic. Conveniently located just minutes from shopping, dining, healthcare, and the heart of downtown La Plata, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of peaceful living and everyday convenience. This is more than a home-it's the lifestyle buyers have been waiting for.
