Professional photos are coming soon! A private wooded retreat, thoughtfully updated for the way we live today. Tucked at the end of a cul-de-sac, this exceptional transitional-style home sits on a private, partially wooded 1.24-acre lot backing to woods and an expansive wooded preservation parcel with a stream. Here, privacy, tranquility, and the beauty of nature create a remarkable backdrop for everyday living, all within the Marriott's Ridge school district. Unlike most homes of its era, this home was thoughtfully designed with an open-concept floor plan, impressive ceiling heights, and dramatic cathedral ceilings that bring an exceptional sense of light and volume to the living spaces. Extensive interior renovations were completed in 2026. The spacious family room features a soaring cathedral ceiling, two ceiling fans, a natural gas fireplace with a wood mantle and brick hearth, and a rear wall of windows that frame peaceful views of the surrounding woodlands. The dining room and foyer open to the family room, as does the renovated kitchen. At the heart of the home, the beautifully renovated kitchen blends timeless style with modern convenience. New quartz countertops, tile backsplash, wine refrigerator, new stainless-steel GE appliances, including double wall ovens, natural gas cooktop, counter-depth refrigerator, dishwasher with third rack, and an inviting center island with seating make this space equally suited to everyday living and entertaining. The adjoining breakfast room opens through French doors to the renovated screened porch, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. Imagine morning coffee surrounded by nature, leisurely afternoons, and evenings spent entertaining against the backdrop of the wooded landscape. The spacious main-level primary suite is a wonderful private retreat, featuring a cathedral ceiling and six generously sized windows overlooking the backyard and surrounding trees. The primary walk-in closet features a custom wood organization system with bench seating, and the primary bath, renovated in 2026, offers a double vanity with quartz countertop, a walk-in shower, soaking tub, designer tile flooring, polished chrome fixtures, and a linen closet. Also on the main level are two separate offices, each with a closet, providing flexibility for work, study, or additional living needs. A renovated powder room features a Restoration Hardware wood vanity with marble top, and a thoughtfully redesigned laundry/pantry with custom cabinetry, quartz countertop, sink, built-in ironing board, and custom shelving further enhance the functionality of the main level. A back hall provides a second access to the screened porch, and another hallway leads to the oversized three-car side-entry garage with new doors and openers in 2025, plus hot and cold water spigots. Upstairs, a comfortable sitting area provides a welcoming transition to two spacious bedrooms and a newly renovated shared bath featuring an Alderwood double vanity, quartz countertop, designer tile, walk-in shower, matte black fixtures, and pocket doors. Completing the upper level is a walk-in attic that provides easy-access storage. The unfinished walkout lower level presents an opportunity to create additional living and entertaining space, with a full bath rough-in and direct access to the backyard and outdoor amenities. Outdoor living is equally inviting. A custom stone patio with built-in fire pit and a large hot tub creates a wonderful space to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. Additional highlights: Bruce hardwood flooring, nine ceiling fans, two-zone natural gas heat, (2017) architectural shingle roof, vinyl siding, and gutters, (2018) water heater, (2025) three new garage doors with openers, and septic pumped in September. A special offering where privacy, thoughtful renovations, generous living spaces, and a beautiful natural setting create a home that is as welcoming as it is distinctive. The owner is the agent.
