Property Description

**Mortgage rate or closing cost assistance may be available.** The streets tell a story in Lake Frederick. The main road, Rachel Carson Drive, bears the name of the naturalist & conservationist whose work helped protect birds and wildlife. Throughout the streets are named for birds, wildflowers, & butterflies, reflecting a connection to the natural world that surrounds this vibrant lakeside community. A recognized destination on the Virginia Bird and Wildlife Trail, Lake Frederick has more than 200 reported bird species, making it a haven for birdwatchers and nature enthusiasts alike. Perfectly complementing this setting, this home’s front garden is a Certified Wildlife Habitat, thoughtfully cultivated to welcome birds & butterflies. This is just one of the many attributes of this beautifully appointed 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home offering nearly 3,000 finished square feet which offers the best of many worlds: A private haven within an active neighborhood that is both convenient and adventurous, offering the lake, hiking trails, and mountain views, alongside the perk of a pool, clubhouse, and community amenities. Built just 7 years ago, the house was thoughtfully sited and designed to maximize natural light. This home stands apart with large windows, tall ceilings, warm wood tones, and thoughtfully upgraded finishes. The open-concept main level offers both connection and comfort, with the kitchen at the heart of the home. Crisp white cabinetry, pantry, and a large center island with counter seating flow seamlessly into the dining and living areas. Anchored by a gas fireplace, the Living Room is an effortless gathering space for everyday living and entertaining alike. Wrapped in windows, the Dining Room is perfect for sunny breakfasts or lively dinner gatherings that drift outside to the deck, which has been transformed into a garden filled with herbs, perennials and fruit trees. Also on this level are two rooms, currently serving as an art studio and library, yet could become a formal sitting or dining room, home office, or playroom. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite is positioned to capture morning light and mountain views, complete with two walk-in closets, dual vanities, and a tub-shower bath. Three additional generously sized bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, each filled with natural light and ample closet space. A full bath and a convenient upper-level laundry room complete this level. The unfinished lower level, complete with rough-in plumbing, French doors, and large windows, offers exceptional potential for future expansion tailored to the next owner’s vision. Enjoy Food Truck Fridays, movie nights, concerts, and community events throughout the year and drive around the corner to Region’s 117, one of the area’s sought-after restaurants. Ideally located just 20 minutes from Winchester, 10 minutes to Front Royal and I-66, the home also offers easy access to the Shenandoah River, Shenandoah National Park, historic towns, wineries, breweries, and endless outdoor recreation.
