Along the water’s edge in Centreville, this custom-built 2023 residence pairs main-floor living with a crisp, model-home level of finish. The open floor plan is designed for everyday ease, yet defined by high-end details and more than $200K in upgrades. At the center, a gourmet kitchen is outfitted with Bosch built-in appliances, Kohler plumbing fixtures, a spacious pantry, a dedicated coffee bar, and Cambria quartz countertops that continue throughout the home. Two gas fireplaces add warmth and focus—each framed by floor-to-ceiling stone, one anchoring the family room and the other setting the tone in an outdoor covered entertainment space.
