Imagine living at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Fountain Hills subdivision and within the DC Everest School District, where this exceptional former Parade Home showcases timeless Craftsman architecture, impeccable construction, and breathtaking countryside views. Built by Joey D. Ninnemann, this custom 1.5-story residence sits on 1.43 beautifully landscaped acres, with an additional adjoining 1.47-acre parcel available, offering the rare opportunity to own nearly 3 acres of privacy and natural beauty. A striking blend of stone and wood accents creates unforgettable curb appeal, while the covered front porch with its wood ceiling welcomes guests into a thoughtfully designed interior. The foyer opens to a beautifully appointed powder room featuring a granite vanity and transom window. Throughout the home, exceptional craftsmanship is evident in every detail, including custom millwork, hardwood flooring, in-ceiling speaker wiring, and premium finishes. The great room is truly the heart of the home, anchored by a real wood-burning fireplace with stone accents, yet plumbed for gas conversion. A custom coffered wood ceiling, built-in shelving, window bench seating with hidden storage, and a dramatic wall of west-facing windows frame spectacular sunset views and create an inviting atmosphere for everyday living and entertaining. The chef's kitchen is equally impressive, featuring custom Thorcraft cabinetry, a large center island, tile backsplash, additional prep sink, serving counter, walk-in pantry, and a sophisticated butler's pantry complete with a wine refrigerator. A charming built-in breakfast nook provides casual dining space, while the formal dining room showcases beautifully accented hardwood floors for more elegant gatherings. Outdoor dining is seamlessly integrated with a deck featuring newly stained walking-surface boards, a natural gas hookup for grilling, and a stone patio below where a hot tub awaits. During winter and spring, enjoy picturesque views of rolling hills and an iconic countryside farm scene before summer foliage transforms the setting into a private wooded retreat. The main-floor primary suite offers a luxurious escape with dual vanities, a walk-in tiled shower with dual shower heads, soaking tub with decorative tile surround, and a spacious walk-in closet. A separate dedicated home office overlooking the backyard provides an ideal work-from-home environment. Completing the main level is a functional mudroom with custom cubbies, a laundry room with sink and counter space, and an insulated & finished 3-car garage with utility sink and hot/cold water hookups. Ascending the impressive wide staircase with custom wood banisters, you'll find a loft area, 3 generously sized bedrooms and a well-designed bath featuring dual vanities, a solar tube for natural light, and a separate tub and toilet area. The fully finished lower level expands the home's exceptional living space with full-size daylight windows, a family room featuring a built-in entertainment center, custom snack bar, and mini-kitchen complete with dishwasher drawers, sink, microwave, and tile backsplash. An expansive recreation room offers abundant space for games and entertaining, while a bonus room behind double French doors provides endless flexibility as a fitness studio, lounge, or hobby space. A 5th bedroom offers privacy for guests, and the lower-level bathroom features comfortable in-floor heating. Additional highlights include two dedicated storage rooms with separate electrical panels, an owned salt-free water softener, smart thermostats, radon mitigation system, and countless quality upgrades throughout. The professionally landscaped grounds are equally remarkable, featuring stone pathways, landscape lighting, mature perennials, a lush lawn, and a fire pit gathering area.
