***Assumable 2.75 loan*** Welcome to a home that feels easy to love from the start. This Manchester-Brookfield model in Potomac Shores offers 3,144 finished square feet across three finished levels, with Craftsman-inspired curb appeal, a welcoming front porch, crisp trim, and a polished exterior that feels timeless. Whole house solar system, owned, not leased, helps keep power bills low.
Inside, the main level is bright, open, and welcoming, designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. Wood floors, recessed lighting, and connected gathering spaces create a warm, inviting atmosphere, while the gourmet kitchen naturally serves as the heart of the home. Featuring an island, pantry storage, and abundant workspace, it’s easy to imagine everything from busy weekday mornings to holiday meals and weekend get-togethers unfolding here. A convenient main-level powder room adds to the home’s functionality.
Upstairs, four bedrooms and two full baths provide the space and flexibility today’s lifestyle demands. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat at the end of the day, complete with a spacious walk-in closet and private bath. The additional bedrooms are surprisingly large and can easily adapt to changing needs, whether used for growing children, guest accommodations, home offices, creative pursuits, or simply extra room to spread out and enjoy.
The finished lower level expands the home’s versatility even further. With a private bedroom and full bath, it creates the perfect space for overnight guests, a dedicated work-from-home setup, a media room, fitness area, or a comfortable retreat for extended visits. Whatever your needs today—or years from now—this flexible space is ready to adapt.
The home is also being refreshed for its next owner with fresh interior paint in 2026 and new carpet in 2026, giving the interior a clean, refreshed, move-in-ready feel before you ever unpack. Solar panels add another thoughtful feature, offering potential energy efficiency and long-term value.
Outside, the setting is a true bonus. Set on a corner-style homesite with community-maintained common grounds along the side, the home enjoys a more open feel without extra yardwork. The fenced rear yard offers space to grill, garden, relax, or unwind, while the attached two-car garage adds everyday convenience.
