Tired of Seeing the Same Predictable Floor Plans? Looking for Something with Character, Architectural Interest, and a Main-Level Primary Suite? This updated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath contemporary delivers all three. With dramatic design details, a distinctive layout, and spaces that feel anything but ordinary, this is a home that truly stands out. Built in 1994 with about 2,426 finished square feet on a 0.31-acre lot that backs to trees and open common area. This is a true contemporary with soaring rooflines and dramatic volume, not a builder-standard colonial. Hardwood floors run through the two-story foyer, kitchen, hallway, half bath, dining room and breakfast room. The two-story family room has a cathedral ceiling and twin skylights and is flanked by a wall of windows looks out over the full-width patio and the heated spa/personal pool. Its three-sided wood-burning fireplace is shared with the vaulted morning room. Off the foyer, a vaulted flex room with 15-lite French doors, a bay window, crown molding, chair rail, and shadow box moldings works as either a formal dining room or a private home office. The renovated kitchen has 42-inch cabinets with pull-outs, granite countertops with a breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances and a pantry. The main-level primary bedroom has a tray ceiling, a walk-in closet and an atrium door to the rear patio. Its renovated primary bath has a comfort-height dual vanity with granite, a corner whirlpool jetted-tub and a floor-to-ceiling tiled walk-in shower. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, one with a vaulted ceiling, and an updated hall bath with a dual-sink vanity. There's also a main-level laundry room and a 2-car attached garage. The garage has extra-high ceilings and direct access to a large crawl space that runs under a good portion of the home, which can be used for storage. Save money on renting a boat slip by using the front parking pad that fits a boat, trailer or RV. The private, fenced backyard has a full-width-of-home concrete patio, a heated spa/personal pool with a waterfall and stone privacy wall, a built-in propane grill, and raised planting beds. A new secondary fence creates a separate upper section that holds a new 8' x 10' cedar-lined storage shed and the treehouse. That upper section can be a dog run or a play area in and around the treehouse. Aquia Harbour is a gated community with gate guards 24/7 and its own state-certified police department. Amenities include a marina on Aquia Creek with 136 boat slips, a boat ramp open 24/7, a fishing pier and a kayak/canoe launch, about 4 miles from the Potomac River. There's also a 9-hole golf course with a driving range and putting green, a country club with a restaurant, two community pools, horse stables with an indoor arena, a bark park, walking trails, bridle paths and more than ten neighborhood parks. The community sits off I-95 at Exit 143, with Route 1, Quantico and the VRE close by. All of that is part of daily life at Aquia Harbour in Stafford County.
