Beautifully renovated brick colonial in Ridgeleigh, within the desirable East Gate of Potomac. Meticulously updated and maintained, this exceptional home blends functionality and warmth, with generous living spaces, thoughtful updates, and incredible indoor-outdoor living. Highlights include fresh paint, beautifully refinished oak hardwoods throughout the main and upper levels, with new hardwood in the foyer and newly exposed and refinished hardwoods upstairs. The well-designed floorplan offers both formal and informal spaces: a formal living room, a dining room off the kitchen, a family room with a wood-burning fireplace open to the all-season sunroom and a dedicated main-level office. The kitchen features gas cooking, top-of-the-line Miele appliances, a new JennAir cooktop, and a brand-new beverage refrigerator. Step outside to a fabulous outdoor retreat with thoughtful hardscaping, backing to parkland and perfect for entertaining. A mudroom/laundry room off the garage and a convenient powder room complete the main level, and a whole-house generator adds comfort and peace of mind. Upstairs are four bedrooms and two tastefully refreshed baths. The spacious primary suite overlooks the rear yard and includes flexible space ideal for an office, nursery, or walk-in closet, with potential for an expanded primary bath. The three other sun-filled bedrooms share the updated hall bath. The finished lower level is the perfect hangout space, with high ceilings, a full bedroom and bath, and a utility room with abundant storage. An oversized front-entry two-car garage and wide driveway provide ample parking for family and guests. Ridgeleigh is a 102-home enclave with no through streets, surrounded by parkland including Cabin John Park, the Cabin John Stream Valley Trail, and Buck Branch Park. The neighborhood is known for its scenic common areas, walking paths, strong neighborhood character, and annual community events. Located in the sought-after Churchill school cluster, just minutes to major commuter routes, top shopping, dining, entertainment, and nearby golf, swim, and tennis clubs. Don't miss this special offering!
