Halfway down one cul-de-sac and at the corner of another in the quiet Stoneybrooke community you will find this updated 4-bedroom Colonial that offers the kind of space, comfort, and flow that makes a house feel like home. With just under 2,400 finished square feet across three levels plus a two car garage, a huge deck in back and a porch in front, you will never run out of hang-out spots for parties and even the largest of families. A bus runs right by the neighborhood to take you to Huntington Metro, and from there to Fort Belvoir, the Pentagon or Downtown DC. The US Coast Guard Telegraph Rd campus is less than two miles away, and Fort Belvoir is less than a five mile drive, making this a commuter's dream location. The best part is you can walk right in to Huntley Meadows Park from multiple points in the neighborhood, or proceed down the main drag to the front entrance to enjoy the bike paths, wetlands, boardwalk, visitor center programs and nature trails, and no-cost admission -- Mother Nature at her finest and so close you can leave your car at home! The front porch and new, upmarket front door leads to a welcoming main level with gleaming hardwood floors, recessed lights and new front windows. A bright, open living room sits at the front of the home, and the cozy family room invites you to slow down, start a blaze in the fireplace or read a good book on the raised reading nook that overlooks the front yard. Sliding doors allow access to the newly re-stained, house-length, multi-zone deck, which has a short set of stairs to let the pooch out to play in the backyard. The heart of the home is an updated kitchen featuring a breakfast nook, stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, a double-door pantry and a coffee bar. Upstairs are the over-sized bedrooms, the star of which is a primary with a new picture window, plenty of space for dressers AND a sitting area. A translucent barn door opens into an updated ensuite with two separate sinks, a dressing area and a walk-in tiled shower. The walk-in closet is extensively customized, offering a place for everything. The lower level rec room has brand new LVP on floor and stairs, plus more recessed lighting; you'll forget you are in a basement at all. This is an open canvas that could be your media room, gaming area, workout space or multiples of these -- you get to pick what to do with it! A two-car garage with space for so much more, a laundry chute from the bedroom level to the bright laundry area (w/ utility sink!), and multiple oversized storage areas (including extra pantry and storage space in the basement) round out the home's functionality. Your new home is set on a generous corner lot featuring extensive whole-house hardscaping and landscaping with multiple beds and a front multi-level garden featuring flora spilling over the stone walls. The location has you close by to multiple parks, libraries, dining and shopping, including the popular Kingstowne area less than 2.5 miles away. Zoned for the highly-rated West Potomac High School, this home offers a balance of space, setting, and accessibility that is hard to beat at any price!
