Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac and surrounded by mature trees, this beautifully updated 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath colonial offers the perfect blend of timeless elegance, modern comfort, and exceptional privacy. With 4,142 finished living area and nearly 4,500 total living area, this home was thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and unforgettable entertaining. From the moment you step into the dramatic black-and-white tiled foyer with curved staircase, the attention to detail is undeniable. The main level features richly finished hardwood floors, multiple inviting living spaces, two fireplaces (one gas and one wood-burning), a sophisticated formal dining room, and a private office/lounge complete with wet bar and custom accent wall. At the heart of the home is a fully renovated chef's kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, designer lighting, high-end appliances, oversized island seating, and seamless flow into the breakfast and family rooms overlooking the backyard and woods beyond. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is complemented by a connected secondary bedroom currently curated as a luxurious boutique-style dressing room and custom closet suite - equally suited as a nursery, private office, lounge, or additional bedroom. The remaining bedrooms are generously sized and filled with natural light. The fully finished lower level offers incredible versatility with luxury vinyl flooring, a large recreation and media space, home gym area, full bathroom, and additional bedroom - for guests or multigenerational living. Outside, enjoy your own private oasis on a 15,000+ lot backing directly to the woods with private access to Ridgeleigh Trail. The backyard features a large patio perfect for entertaining, a basketball court, landscape lighting, and peaceful wooded views with a creek below that create a true retreat-like setting. Perfectly positioned in the heart of Potomac, the home also offers exceptional convenience with quick access to both I-270 and I-495, making commuting, dining, shopping, and travel throughout the DMV remarkably accessible while still enjoying the peace and privacy of a tucked-away neighborhood setting. Additional upgrades include HVAC, water heater, washer/dryer, and attic insulation all replaced within the last 4 years, an EV charging outlet in the attached 2-car garage, a mudroom, abundant storage throughout, beautifully landscaped grounds, and direct trail access. This is a rare opportunity to own a home that feels refined, warm, and completely move-in ready - offering the space, setting, and lifestyle that are increasingly hard to find in Potomac.
