With breathtaking views of the Potomac River and set on the 15th hole of the River Creek Club golf course, this home presents an exceptional opportunity in the gated, golf course community of River Creek. Privately positioned on a cul-de-sac, the home offers over 7,000 square feet of living space across three levels, set on a beautifully landscaped and manicured lot that balances grandeur, privacy, and tranquility.
Built in 2004 by Renaissance Builders, this 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath residence welcomes guests via a flagstone walkway leading to a private stone patio and lovely water feature, all framed by mature holly trees. Inside, the dramatic two-story foyer showcases a striking curved staircase with views to the rear of the home, establishing an impressive sense upon arrival. Flanking the foyer is the elegant, light-filled living room and the sophisticated dining room with custom wallpaper and designer light fixture. A discreetly positioned hidden bar adds an element of surprise and convenience for entertaining.
Beyond the foyer is the gracious family room that features custom built-in cabinetry with an integrated sink and a handsome dual-sided fireplace with symmetrical cased openings leading to the fantastic sunroom. Wrapped in windows and finished with custom wallpaper, the sunroom offers views of the river and the surrounding woods.
The family room flows seamlessly into the expansive, updated kitchen, featuring new 2025 appliances, including a Bosch dishwasher and Monogram refrigerator. A generous center island provides ample storage and seating, while the adjacent morning room offers a cozy place to gather with abundant natural light and overlooking the course. The nearby breakfast room features custom cabinetry, convenient access to the mudroom/laundryroom, the four-car garage, and a back staircase leading to the upper level. The kitchen and family room extend naturally into a fabulous screened porch with its own stone fireplace, creating an inviting space to enjoy panoramic views of the golf course and Potomac River. The porch opens to a private rear deck, while the covered gathering area below connects to the lower level and leads to a brick patio bordered by holly and arborvitae. Rose bushes and perennial plantings enhance the beautifully maintained landscape, culminating in a recently added pergola that provides an elevated and private setting for outdoor living and entertaining.
The upper level features a spacious primary suite designed as a private retreat. The gracious bedroom includes a fireplace and a wall of windows overlooking the rear grounds, golf course, and river.
