304 Chesapeake Drive

Located in Riverside Manor, one of Great Falls most established and private settings, 304 Chesapeake Drive is a meticulously renovated residence where craftsmanship, scale, and thoughtful stewardship converge. This is a home that has been continuously enhanced, expertly maintained, and deeply loved. The entire residence has undergone comprehensive renovations, including two major transformation periods, the most extensive completed in 2005. During that year-long renovation, nearly every surface of the home was touched. More than 1,200 square feet were added to the rear of the property, creating a library, expanded kitchen and family room, new pantry and utility spaces, two walk-in closets for the primary suite, a fifth bathroom, and a dedicated pool dressing room. The scope of work was so significant that the home was re-aged by an inspector to eight years, reflecting that over 85% of the plumbing and electrical systems were replaced. At the heart of the home is a true chefs kitchen, appointed with Wolf range, oven, and warming drawer, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, two Miele dishwashers, custom cabinetry, a hot/cold water dispenser, and seamless flow into the family room and outdoor entertaining areas. Main-level spaces feature a refined mix of hardwood floors and Spanish porcelain tile with granite offsets, while the upper level offers hardwood floors with carpet overlay in most rooms. The primary suite is a private retreat with custom California Closets and a spa-like bath. Every closet throughout the home is outfitted with California Closets, and custom built-ins are thoughtfully integrated throughout. The lower level is designed for both work and leisure, offering a dedicated theater room, office space, and a striking stone fireplace. In total, the home features five fireplaces; three wood-burning and two gas, with the basement wood-burning fireplace easily convertible to gas, as the connection is already in place. Outdoor living is equally exceptional. The beautifully landscaped grounds are enhanced with low-voltage lighting front and back and anchored by a heated gunite pool with a new safety cover, creating a private resort-like setting ideal for both quiet enjoyment and large gatherings. Additional features include Pella windows, a monitored security system, whole-house generator, two safes, two HVAC systems with a combination of gas baseboard and electric, two gas lines serving the home, attic spaces over both the garage and primary bedroom, and a custom bar designed to match the pool table. A structural steel I-beam was installed across the rear of the home to reinforce the integrity of the addition. All major systems including: HVAC, generator, and alarm are under active service contracts, and the home receives annual maintenance, including annually scheduled paint touch-ups. This is not simply a renovated property; it is a home that has been carefully curated over decades, filled with memories, celebrations, and everyday joy. After raising a family here, from young children to adulthood, the sellers leave with gratitude for a place that has given them so much. 304 Chesapeake Drive offers the rare opportunity to acquire a fully realized home, one built not just with intention, but with heart.
