Description

If your commute runs somewhere between Quantico and the Pentagon, this move-in-ready townhome in Potomac Shores puts you close to both, without sacrificing style or finishes. Built by Pulte and just a few years old, this brick end unit sits directly across from the 13,000 square foot Shores Club, so the pool, the Fitness Barn, the golf club, and dinner at Tidewater Grill are all a short walk away.
Step inside, and the open-concept main level does exactly what you want it to. Fresh paint, new luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a family room that flows straight into a chef's kitchen built for real cooking and real gathering. White shaker cabinets, a five-burner gas range, built-in wall oven and microwave, a custom backsplash, and a large island with seating for five. A brand new refrigerator and a custom pantry system round it out. Step onto the private composite balcony, and you already know this is the kind of home you'd host in.
Working from home? You've got options. The ground level offers a flex room with its own full bath, perfect as a private office, a home gym, or a fourth bedroom, whatever fits your life right now. It's the kind of space that works for guests, an in-law arrangement, or a work-from-home setup without taking over your dining table.
Upstairs, the primary suite is the kind of space your friends will ask about. A spa-inspired wet room with floor-to-ceiling tile, a freestanding soaking tub, dual shower heads, and a frameless glass enclosure. A walk-in closet with custom organization finishes the retreat. Two more bedrooms, a full hall bath, and a laundry room with built-in storage complete this level.
Then there's the top-floor loft, where the home becomes a destination. A wet bar with a beverage refrigerator opens straight onto a rooftop terrace built for entertaining, complete with a natural gas hookup, a hose bib, and a built-in movie screen. Picture a summer night with friends, a movie under the stars, and drinks poured steps away without going downstairs!. It's not a feature you find in most homes at this price point."All of this sits within one of the most amenity-rich communities in Northern Virginia. Compare it to other neighborhoods, and one thing stands out right away: your internet and gym access are already included in your HOA fee. That gets you into The Shores Club and Social Barns, the community gardens, a multipurpose court, miles of walking trails, neighborhood schools, and the only public Jack Nicklaus golf course in the region, along with a canoe launch and dock. Beyond the amenities themselves, residents here stay busy. There's a genuinely active social calendar and no shortage of clubs to join, so making friends and finding your people happens fast. Looking ahead, a future town center with its own VRE station stop is already planned, adding even more to a community that already feels like a permanent vacation. You're about 8 miles from Marine Base Quantico and roughly 20 miles south of Fort Belvoir, with easy access to I-95 and Route 1.
