Property Description

Rare opportunity in Red Lion Chase—this expansive 6-bedroom, 6.5-bath residence with elevator, dual main-level suites, and exceptional entertaining spaces offers a level of versatility rarely found in the area. A stately brick-front exterior and side-entry 2-car garage create impressive curb appeal, while inside, a dramatic two-story foyer with hardwood flooring and a sweeping butterfly staircase sets the tone for the home’s grand scale. Designed for both everyday living and large-scale entertaining, the main level blends elegant formal spaces with comfortable gathering areas. The soaring two-story family room opens seamlessly to a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, dual pantries, center island, breakfast bar, and abundant workspace. Just beyond, a sun-filled sunroom with gas fireplace overlooks the private backyard setting. Rare for the community, the first floor includes two private bedroom suites—ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or extended stays—along with a dedicated study, powder room, and laundry room. An elevator provides convenient access to all levels. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms each enjoy access to a bathroom, while a spacious bonus room offers outstanding flexibility for media, recreation, fitness, or additional living space. The primary suite features a sitting area with a three-way gas fireplace, multiple walk-in closets, and a spacious bath with dual vanities and soaking tub. The walkout basement expands the home’s possibilities even further, while the outdoor living experience is highlighted by an expansive approximately 1,300 square foot deck designed for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the private surroundings. Additional features include 9-foot ceilings throughout including the basement, cherry hardwood flooring on the second level, updated main-level flooring, three-zone HVAC, two tankless water heaters, underground irrigation, leased solar panels, and all appliances included. Residents of Red Lion Chase enjoy access to a community pool, clubhouse, fitness center, tennis and basketball courts, walking trails, and playgrounds—all conveniently located near major roadways, shopping, and dining.
