A superb family home only five years old, in the sought after Blue Ridge Shadows community. 9ft ceilings on the main floor, and quality construction. Five full bedrooms (one on the main floor) and three separate flexible daytime living spaces, including a spacious open plan great room, an office or sitting room off the hallway, and an upper level open loft space for den, TV room, kids playroom, or just a quiet space! The great room includes a beautiful kitchen with impressive breakfast island, granite counters, extensive cabinets, and a walk-in corner pantry, all leading to an extended bump-out dining area with patio doors to the back deck. The roomy master bedroom leads into a stunning master bathroom, with ceramic tile floor, twin vanities, a gleaming oversize glass and tile shower with bench seat, and a large L-shaped walk-in closet. Three other good sized bedrooms, two with ceiling fans, and a laundry room (washer & dryer convey), complete the upper level. For more space to expand, check out the unfinished basement with rough-in for a further bathroom, window well, and patio door opening to just a few steps up to the back yard. The back deck overlooks an almost half acre level yard, fully fenced at the back, with additional space at the sides of the home. The yard backs on to common land, accessed through a gate, and running down to a creek in a small ravine. Distant mountain views complete the beautiful setting. Xfinity cable TV and broadband Internet available. Blue Ridge Shadows is a quality golf course community, with the clubhouse just 1/2 mile away, though this home does not adjoin the course itself. Conveniently located for shopping and access to I-66 just 3 miles away, and five miles to the thriving town of Front Royal.
