Description

A peaceful mountain retreat awaits you in this updated brick mountain cottage. This 3-bedroom 3-bath home offers an escape from the hustle and bustle but is just a short 15 minutes away from shopping and I-66 and only 30 minutes away from Dulles Airport. Gleaming hardwoods span throughout the main level are complimented by timeless checkerboard ceramic tile in the kitchen. The primary bedroom has a wooded view and is accompanied by an updated en suite complete with ceramic tile surround in the shower and granite vanity. The kitchen features subway tile backsplash, a farmhouse sink, pot filler, banquette seating and an exterior vent hood. Two additional bedrooms and an accompanying full bath await guests and other family members on the south wing of the home on the main level. Enjoy mountain views from either the front porch surrounded by mature, sequentially-blooming perennials or on the back deck overlooking the wooded back yard. The walk-out basement was recently updated with fresh paint and new carpet. A new ceramic hearth accents the catalytic wood stove which comes with plenty of seasoned wood to heat the home throughout the winter and help keep heating costs at a minimum in the cooler months. The family room on this level offers rec space perfect for movie and game night, an additional room that can be used as a home office space, laundry and a third, full bathroom. The back yard provides a peaceful retreat for relaxing among the trees in a park-like setting, a home for your chickens for a small homestead and is complete with two gardens stocked with veggies for the season. Pride of ownership has lovingly been poured into this home with updates including a new HVAC (2020), Energy Star appliances, new roof, skylights, and vinyl siding (2021), new paint throughout, two stainless steel insulated chimney liners in each chimney shaft, coupled with annual arboreal care the updates in this home make it turn-key ready for the next family looking for their mountain home!
