Small town + big charm in La Plata! This Quailwood home sits atop a green hill in a beautiful, well-established, and close-to-everything neighborhood. Fantastic wraparound porch on this 3-story home is the envy of all who drive by. Classic Colonial foyer leads to separate dining room and sitting room/office, both have French doors. Large open kitchen has two islands and "breakfast room" with fireplace that can be used for dining or as a fireside conversation area. Through kitchen back door is a spacious recreation/sun room addition with doors to the in-ground pool. Down the hall is a half-bath, laundry room, and a grand family room with high ceilings and separate entrance. Upstairs are two floors of private quarters: no one has to sleep in a basement here. The super-sized primary bedroom suite on the 2nd floor includes a sitting room with closet, balcony, and a full bath with walk-in closet, separate shower, and tub. Two additional bedrooms occupy the 2nd floor along with the full hall bathroom. The 3rd floor has bedrooms 4 & 5, which are filled with sunlight from architectural windows. Both rooms have access to yet another full bath. (All plumbing is on town water and sewer--no septic or well!) With so much living space, it is possible to host guests, spend a lot of time together, and find quiet on your own. Outside, summer fun awaits at the inground pool , which is surrounded by hardscaping, landscaping, lawn, and an attractive fence with views of the forest. The adjacent detached two-car garage uses space in a marvelous way; it has separate bays for each car in the front and a half-bath with pool storage in the rear (totaling 5 bathrooms between the house and the garage). Above the garage is a carpeted room that has been used at various times as an office, a playroom, or a storage area. There is an additional outbuilding that is a storage shed. A generous, level field on the side yard, obscured from the road, can be used for lawn parties, sports, and gardening. The 1.8 acre lot backs into trees, so expect to see deer, box turtles, birds, hawks, owls, foxes, and other wildlife throughout the year. Homes with this much character so close to town are rare. Make one of the neighborhood's best homes your own!
