Property Description
This well-maintained, expanded and renovated home, sits on an over-sized half-acre lot and, ideally, is situated on a quiet cul-de-sac. The home's location, and lot size (backing to public property and the Potomac River), is so desirable that is has only had two owners! This two-level Bi-Level, offers 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Expanded to include a second attached garage bay allowed for an upper-level office/den/study addition, located off a renovated kitchen which is the envy of any gourmet chef! Tastefully renovated to include granite counters, gas cooking and hardwood flooring. Buyers will love the kitchen's open floorplan and large island which invariably becomes the home's favorite gathering space! The great room, open to the kitchen, offers a gas fireplace, dining area and French doors to one of the home's best features- a 2nd story front porch that extends the entire width of the home! Perfect for relaxing or entertaining during the warmer months! The primary bedroom, with en-suite bath, 2 additional bedrooms and full hall bath complete the main level. Descend to the ground level and discover the welcoming entry foyer and cozy recreation room, complete with carpet flooring, wood-paneled walls and a wood-burning fireplace. Guests are taken care of with a ground level bedroom and full bath in the hallway. This house does not want for storage with its own large storage room. Lastly, access the 2-car garage from the ground level. Outside, relax on the back deck which leads to an outdoor oasis! You will LOVE the landscaped grounds with mature plantings, an in-ground heated pool, and, for the sports enthusiast, a sport court! All of this and the lot's property line backs to public land- you are truly living in a treed oasis! Living in Rivercrest one is destined to take advantage of all the outdoor adventures afforded by the home's location. Enjoy the Potomac River Trail, Gulf Branch Nature Center as well as more trails, parks and bike trails. Donaldson Run Pool District.
