The craftsman style curb appeal when you pull up is only a hint at the jaw-dropping interior. Built and thoroughly upgraded by Brookfield in 2021, the Torrington model is a rare find! You will know the second you walk in that you are not in an ordinary basic colonial any more.  The front office may win you over, but just wait until you walk past the powder room into the Great Room. Take it all in: a dining area that can hold your table for eight and take advantage of a seat built into the bay window.  A family room where you can gather around a natural stone finished gas fireplace.  All under a two story vaulted ceiling and with a front row seat to the sounds and smells that memories are made from, coming from the kitchen.  Sure, fresh baked cookies are a splurge in any home but this kitchen can support any award winning chef or baker.  Carrara Mist quartz counters grace an oversized island and counters that seem to never end, past stainless appliances, under cabinet lighting, a gas cooktop and even a pot filler faucet.  Around the corner, the pantry deserves its own design awards with a sliding barn door, herringbone tile backsplash, butcher block counters, and motion sensor lighting.  Spacious yet out of the way laundry is another highlight of this level, but a real standout is the main level primary suite. Lush carpet underfoot, overhead lighting that combines both a ceiling fan and recessed lighting like most of the home, and dual closets.  And the bathroom?  It's like a luxury hotel of course with separate dual vanities, tiled shower and soaking tub.  Plantation shutters on every window and door let you choose privacy with a flick of the wrist, or you can walk out to the trex composite deck and fenced yard when sun streaming through windows just isn't enough of the great outdoors.   But wait, there's more.  The upper level of the home has a bedroom with its own upper balcony, another bedroom, and bonus loft area with two closets you could use as a playroom, gaming den or for guests.  You can even look out over the great room below as you walk down the hallway towards the full sized bathroom.   All the ceilings are atleast 9 ft tall, even in the basement, which may be why it tends to be popular with fitness enthusiasts - that and there are so many rooms that you could have his and hers gyms downstairs.  Also in the finished basement is an oversized Rec Room for game day or movie night, storage galore, and third full bathroom so conveniently adjacent to the last official bedroom.   Potomac Shores is the place to be.  The words "grand" and "larger than life" always come to mind when you enter this premiere riverfront oasis only 30 miles from Washington DC, and minutes from I-95 and express lanes.  Quick commutes leave you more time to enjoy what feels like resort-style living.  Schools, sports fields, Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, parks, trails, two outdoor pools, and a 13,000 sq ft rec and social center, plus demand will only go up once the VRE Station opens.  This home's premium lot sits on one of the most prized streets, near the main entrance of the community.  Just add a sweet tea in the summer, or your favorite drink any evening to sip on the front porch in a rocking chair.
