This immaculate and delightful Brookdale home, built by renowned developer Cooper Lightbown, is just a few steps to restaurants and shops of Friendship Heights and Spring Valley. Picture-perfect, it is cradled by front and back patios, manicured gardens and flowering trees. Boasting details such as glowing hardwood floors, recessed lighting, arched doorways, and a beamed ceiling, guests are greeted by a gracious and wide stone walk that hints to the warmth within. Distinctive and thoughtful throughout, the luxurious open-concept kitchen / dining room features a spectacular center island with breakfast bar and wine fridge, state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, stunning pendant light fixtures, and sunny breakfast room with french doors leading to the deck and garden. For entertaining, gather around the fireplace in the living room or step out to the stone patio to continue the conversation. Updated in 2017 and 2020, it features replacement windows, dual-zone HVAC, and newer systems throughout. With three large bedrooms (two upstairs, one on the main level), each features a custom touch that makes a statement - like the wood-beamed ceiling and en suite full bath on the main level, or the custom walk-in closet in the primary bedroom. The second level offers the primary bedroom, a second sun-filled bedroom, and a fully renovated sumptuous hall bath. The walk-out lower level provides laundry and storage, with future rec room and bath easily added. The landscaped lot is updated for the utmost convenience, with stone circular driveway, lighted entrance, and fully-fenced back yard. 4628 River Road benefits from neighborhood parks and trails, and is close to Friendship Heights, Spring Valley, and the Capital Crescent Trail. The Brookdale Citizens Association sponsors events and a newsletter. Westbrook, Westland and B-CC schools serve the neighborhood. Welcome home to this treasured Cape Cod, so close to it all.
Nicely upgraded home with good use of space. Upgraded Kitchen. Deck off of kitchen to fenced backyard. Finished lower level with door and stairs to back yard.
