A New Chapter Awaits in amenity-rich Cascades /Potomac Lakes! Built by Ryland Homes in 1992, this McLean model has curb appeal and charm. It has been lovingly cared for by its original owner exuding a sense of peace and tranquility that can be felt from the moment you step inside.
The story of this home begins on a serene cul de sac, where the extra-long concrete driveway leads to a spacious two-car garage, ensuring ample parking for family and friends. Then your eye will be drawn to the brick facade, an architectural roof with elegant dentil trim, and a covered entry porch. The 4000+ sq ft home sits on a 1/3 acre of lush lawn and mature trees, offering a private oasis for its new owner.
As you enter the home, the wide foyer embraces you. You will be immediately struck by the high ceilings and the flood of natural light that fills the space. The main level is a tapestry of delightful spaces: a formal dining room for dinner parties complete with wet bar and butler's pantry, a cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace perfect for chilly evenings, and a quiet office/library ideal for work or reading. The 2 story family room is enhanced by walls of glass, skylights and cathedral ceilings.
The kitchen is a cook's delight, complete with a gas cooktop, wall oven and microwave, a convenient desk area, Corian counters, refaced 36 inch cabinets in a rich dark finish, and a sunlit breakfast room where mornings could be spent sipping your morning beverage of choice and watching the world wake up. It is not uncommon to see the deer, foxes, birds and bunnies enjoying the back yard. A well-equipped laundry room with cabinets and a window adds a touch of practicality and convenience on the main level.
Upstairs, there are four spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The primary suite is a delight with vaulted ceilings, a wow of a walk in closet enhanced by a closet organizing system and an ensuite bath. The primary bathroom has been recently refreshed and boasts a stand up shower, corner soaking tub, private water closet, and a two sink vanity.
The finished lower level is a wonderland for fun and relaxation. Separate hang-out areas offer endless possibilities, from movie nights to game days. A bonus room, currently used as an office, adds flexibility to the home's layout. The storage room, complete with a workbench, and an extra fridge and freezer is perfect for storage, hobbies and projects. The newly updated full bathroom provides extra convenience and will be great for overflow guests and slumber parties. The billiard table and bar stools, which stay with the home, promise countless hours of entertainment.
Outside, a 300+ sq ft deck with a screened gazebo invites you to enjoy the beauty of nature while sipping a cool drink and hosting summer barbecues.
The Cascades Community itself is a treasure trove of amenities. With five pools, tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, and miles of scenic trails, there is always something to do- all this for a low monthly fee under $100. It is easy to enjoy all that this vibrant community has to offer.
Over the recent years, the home has received thoughtful updates , including new HVAC systems and an architectural shingled roof in 2013. Most recently, it had been refreshed with new paint, modernized bathrooms, and an updated kitchen. A brand new hot water heater ensures comfort and reliability.
Located on a lovely cul de sac, this home is perfect for planting deep roots and building lasting memories with neighbors, family, and friends. Its prime location means schools, places of worship, parks, and the bustling Cascades Marketplace are just a short distance away.
