Charming curb-appeal lures you to the welcoming front porch of the lovely 3 bed, 2.5 bath colonial home in the Wayside Village community of Southbridge on the Potomac a beautifully wooded, master-planned community nestled near the Potomac River. The foyer entrance greets you with warm wood floors, which flow through the living, dining & family rooms. The spacious kitchen features a center island, abundant cabinetry, ample work surface (including a built-in desk!), gas-cooking, a storage pantry, and easy access to & from the 2-car garage. A Juliet-balcony in the breakfast area provides vision for a future deck off your main-level, and allows for nice fresh air while dining. One of my favorite attributes of this home is that each room is generously-sized, you'll notice that as you navigate the main-level and make your way up the newly carpeted stairs to find your sprawling primary suite. Natural light floods the room and is welcomed by a soft-neutral palette and vaulted ceilings. Here you will find a sizable walk-in closet & primary bath with a double sink vanity making space-sharing a breeze! The two secondary bedrooms are nearly equally sized (11'+ x 10'+) and share the hall bath. Full capacity washer & dryer round out this level. Downstairs, you'll find an oversized rec room with sound-dampening walls, sliding glass doors that lead to the fenced backyard, and abundant storage! Designed with community living in mind, Southbridge features a private swim & racquet club including pools, tennis courts, tot lots, and scenic nature trails. Perfect for both relaxation & active lifestyles, residents can participate in vibrant social clubs & events. With close proximity to 95, Route 234, and US 1, access north to Washington DC or south towards Fredericksburg is a breeze via the 95 Express Lanes, express bus routes, slug-lines, & the future VRE station at Potomac Shores. Quantico Marine Base is just a few miles away, with Fort Belvoir & the Pentagon reachable by way of 95 or Route 1. Come see for yourself how this location offers a harmonious blend of amenities, accessibility, natural beauty, and community activities.
