Step inside to find a bright and inviting floor plan featuring high ceilings with elegant crown moldings, hardwood floors, 2-fireplaces, dual staircases, an abundance of windows, and a spacious layout perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. A grand two-story foyer with a large arched window welcomes you home, to the right a bay window fills the formal living room with natural light. To the left, the formal dining room is accented by wainscotting and a tired candelabra chandelier adding refined style. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, showcasing custom 42-inch traditional and glass front cabinetry with trim package, granite countertops, a center island with electric cooktop, double ovens, stainless steel GE Profile refrigerator, and even a built-in desk and serving bar. The family room—enhanced by a cozy fireplace, ceiling fan, and an impressive 4’ bump-out—flows seamlessly from the kitchen, making it the heart of the home. A large private office/library on the main level provides an ideal space for working from home or schooling, while a powder room and large laundry/mudroom complete the main level. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite boasts a deep tray ceiling with lighted ceiling fan, wall of windows with wooded views, a romantic gas fireplace that shares its warmth with a separate sitting area, and two walk-in closets for ultimate convenience. The ensuite bath features a dual sink vanity, water closet, sumptuous soaking tub and glass enclosed shower. Down the hall, 3 light-filled bedrooms, each with generously sized closets, share access to the hall bath. The fully finished walk-out lower level extends the living space with a multi-area recreation room with wet bar, media room with dimmer lighting, a 5th bedroom and full bath—perfect as a guest suite, plus plenty of storage. This home has been meticulously cared for by its owners and features numerous upgrades over the last 5 years for peace of mind: a new roof (2020), hot water heater and sump pump (2021), updated toilets and fixtures, newer washer, carpeting, and exterior lighting. An ADT wireless security system with cameras and sensors provides additional protection. Outdoor living is just as inviting with a large deck perfect for entertaining, all set on a lush lot spanning a third of an acre and backing to majestic trees. The location couldn’t be better—walk into Old Town Warrenton for shopping, dining, the farmers market and for special events, or enjoy quick access to major commuter routes and the Warrenton Aquatic & Recreation Facility. This exceptional home offers space, style, and an unbeatable location—truly a rare find in Monroe Estates!
