**Catered Open House Sunday May 17th 12-2pm**

Every once in a while, you come across a life-changing home.

There’s a certain feeling you get when a home just fits, not only in size, but in how it supports the way you actually live. Set within Avonlea in South Riding, this expansive brick-front residence offers 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 1 half bath across more than 5,500 finished square feet, along with a two-car garage that adds everyday convenience to its thoughtful design. The space unfolds across three well-planned levels, offering room to gather, room to recharge, and room to grow into whatever comes next.

Step inside and the first thing you notice is how effortlessly the layout works. Wide, open living areas flow naturally into one another, anchored by a gourmet kitchen that truly earns the title. Generous in scale and designed for real use, it becomes the center of everything, from morning coffee to late-night conversations. The addition of a new stove and ovens in 2025 brings a fresh, modern edge to a space already built for connection. A complete repaint in 2026 refreshes the entire home, giving every room a clean, updated feel the moment you walk in. A fireplace on the main level adds a natural focal point and a comfortable place to unwind.

Upstairs, the experience shifts into something quieter and more personal. In 2021, rich wood flooring was added across the upper two levels, creating warmth underfoot and a cohesive, elevated feel throughout. The primary suite offers a retreat-like atmosphere with an en suite bathroom, now enhanced with a brand new glass shower enclosure installed in 2026, heated floors from the 2015 renovation, and two walk-in closets that make organization feel effortless. A second fireplace in the primary suite adds an extra layer of comfort and ambiance. Three additional well-appointed bedrooms share another full bathroom, and a dedicated laundry room on this level adds everyday convenience exactly where you need it.

Comfort here is not just visual, it is built into how the home performs. A new HVAC system installed in 2019, paired with upper-level zoning added in 2020, creates a tailored environment across multiple zones, allowing each level to feel just right throughout the seasons. Built-ins, including a custom vanity desk added in 2013 and office shelving installed in 2016, add both character and function in meaningful ways. Even outside, the front sprinkler system installed in 2014 helps maintain a consistently polished exterior with minimal effort.

The lower level expands the possibilities even further, offering a fully finished space that includes an additional legal bedroom and a full bathroom, now updated with a new vanity in 2026. Brand new carpet installed in 2026 adds a soft, comfortable finish to this level, making it ideal for guests, extended stays, or a more private retreat. Whether hosting, working, or unwinding, it adapts easily to your needs.

Out back, the fenced private patio offers a more intimate outdoor experience, a space that feels tucked away and personal, whether you are enjoying a quiet morning or unwinding at the end of the day. It adds another layer to how the home lives, blending indoor comfort with a sense of retreat.

Beyond the home, Avonlea offers a lifestyle that feels both connected and easy. Tree-lined streets, a community clubhouse and pool, and convenient access to shopping, dining, and daily essentials create a rhythm that supports both activity and downtime. HOA services include lawn care, snow removal, and trash service, simplifying everyday living so you can focus on enjoying the home itself.

What stands out most is not just the size or the updates, it is how complete everything feels. Every improvement, every space, and every detail works together to create a home that is ready for what comes next.
