Tucked into a quiet cul de sac off River Bend Road, this stunning cedar and stone contemporary sits on two acres in the heart of Great Falls - one of Northern Virginia's most beloved communities. The location strikes a rare balance: thickly wooded and peaceful, yet an easy commute to D.C. and Tysons. Miles of trails and Potomac River views are just minutes away, at Riverbend Park and Great Falls Park. Inside, soaring ceilings and gleaming hardwood trim and floors set the tone. Natural light fills every room, and the view from every window is green. The heart of the home is a highly functional chef's kitchen with granite countertops, spacious island, and sleek black glass appliances. The breakfast area overlooking the garden and pool is a lovely place to start the day. The kitchen flows naturally into an elegant dining room with scenic views of the wooded front yard. A wet bar sits just off the family room for convenient entertaining. The main floor family room and living room share a two-sided “Crab Orchard Stone” fireplace, and both rooms look out over the yard and in-ground pool. A wall of Pella sliding glass doors opens the family room to an Ipe (Brazilian Oak) deck - a beautiful spot for outdoor dining or unwinding by the pool. A new backyard pavilion with ceiling fan extends the outdoor season, and the bubbling fountain is a birdwatcher's delight. The main-level primary suite offers peaceful sanctuary. Its remodeled bathroom - a national first-place award winner - is the kind of space that makes getting ready feel like a luxury. A large custom walk-in closet completes the suite. Also on the main level are two studies with built-in bookshelves and cabinetry, and a beautiful powder room. The walk-out lower level is highly versatile. Three generous bedrooms and two bathrooms accommodate family and guests. The Railroad Wood-Paneled family room is perfect for play and entertainment. A wine cellar, cedar closet, and bonus room with built-in cabinets and sink round out the space. The oversized storage room can be outfitted to suit the hobbyist or collector. Both the utility room and extra storage room offer generous additional built-in shelving. Outdoor features include two lanterns on programmable timers, a Lyman Whitaker wind sculpture, plus. landscape and driveway lighting. A programmable sprinkler system helps keep the grounds looking their best. The oversized garage has been fully renovated with epoxy flooring, custom cabinetry, and Slatwall storage panels. Other recent upgrades include a whole-house dehumidifier, downstairs heat pump, pool plastering, gutter screening, plus, designer LED lighting at the front door, garage, and driveway. Closed-cell foam insulation beneath the roof keeps the home energy-efficient and comfortable in every season. In the Great Falls Elementary, Cooper Middle and Langley High School zones!
