From the moment you step into the two-story foyer, this house just feels right. Freshly painted throughout in warm, neutral tones, it's move-in ready. The formal living and dining rooms set a polished tone with crown molding, chair rail and wainscotting — the kind of details that add a touch of elegance to your entertaining.
The renovated kitchen is the real heart of the home: 42" cabinets, quartz countertops, tiled backsplash, new durable LVP flooring and stainless appliances that actually gleam. It opens right into the family room, so no one is stuck in the kitchen while everyone else is gathered by the wood-burning fireplace. New carpet, large windows, and an office just off the family room round out the main level nicely. Outside, the screened porch off the kitchen (vaulted ceiling, skylights) is a genuine three-season hangout. Both the porch and the spacious deck beyond it look out over wooded common area.
Upstairs, all four bedrooms have new carpet and recessed lighting. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized and share a beautifully renovated hall bath with double sinks and a tiled tub. The primary suite is on another design level entirely — vaulted ceiling, two huge walk-in closets, and a step-down sitting room that could be a reading nook, a home office, or just a quiet escape. The ensuite bath has been fully renovated with a large shower, double vanity, extra storage, and a separate water closet.
The finished walkout basement adds a ton of usable space — new flooring, good lighting, and still plenty of room left unfinished for storage. The freshly painted two car garage adds more space, if desired. The HVAC system is dual zoned for added economy and solar panels are already in place for the buyer who wants them.
Then there's the Village of River Hill itself — top-rated schools, miles of walking paths, a community pool and rec center, and tot lots throughout. It offers proximity to major commuting routes, shopping and entertainment, all of which make it a very popular neighborhood!
