PROPERTY DESCRIPTION
Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in sought-after Potomac Lakes at Cascades, this beautifully updated Belle Haven model by NVHomes offers 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, a finished walkout basement, main-level office, and a peaceful setting backing to HOA-owned land. Located just off Cutwater Place, this section of the neighborhood also enjoys sidewalks on both sides of the street, adding to its welcoming, walkable feel.
Inside, hardwood floors extend throughout the main and upper levels. At the heart of the home is a thoughtfully designed, fully renovated kitchen created for those who truly love to cook, bake, and gather. Off-white raised-panel cabinetry with a glazed finish is complemented by a glass-faced hutch with pull-out drawers creating a linen press, a custom dedicated bakers cabinet , generous custom pantry and storage cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and a 5-burner island cooktop. Travertine flooring, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and Miele dishwasher complete the space. Even washing dishes comes with a view, as the window above the sink overlooks the woods.
Nearby, the family room invites you to get comfortable beside the fireplace with its Vermont Castings wood-burning stove insert, perfect for cozy evenings at home. A dedicated main-level office provides a quiet place to work or study.
Upstairs, hardwood flooring continues throughout the bedroom level. The primary bath was beautifully renovated in 2025 and feels like a private retreat with a double vanity, oversized shower with dual shower heads, wood-look tile flooring, and a skylight. Three additional bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the upper level. Downstairs, the finished walkout basement provides flexible space for movie nights, game days, workouts, hobbies, guests, and more.
Thoughtful improvements make this home even easier to love. In 2026, a high efficiency heat pump and air handler was installed for the upper level as well as an LG front load washer. In 2025, a new roof, gutters, downspouts, and primary bath skylight were installed, and 2024 brought a new Pennsylvania bluestone front stoop and walkway, front entry door with sidelights and transom, and asphalt driveway. The attic was cleaned and upgraded with new insulation in 2023, and all windows and deck sliding doors were replaced in 2013 and include a transferable warranty. Additional improvements include a 2019 water heater and garage door and a 2021 in-ground irrigation system.
And then there is the location! The trail just beyond the property provides a wonderful connection to the surrounding community. Follow it directly to Stone House Pool and Tennis Center or continue through underpasses providing pedestrian access across Cascades and Algonkian Parkways without crossing these busy roads. The trail network connects throughout Cascades to area LCPS schools, Algonkian Regional Park, and neighboring Countryside.
Cascades residents enjoy 5 swimming pools, 25 tennis courts, 8 pickleball courts, fitness facilities, community centers, playgrounds, sports fields, and miles of walking and biking trails. Nearby Algonkian Regional Park stretches along the Potomac River with an 18-hole golf course, boat launch, trails, waterpark, picnic areas, and riverfront vacation cottages.
With convenient access to shopping, dining, Dulles International Airport, the Silver Line Metro, and major commuter routes, this is a home made for peaceful mornings overlooking the woods, dinners from a kitchen designed for serious cooking, summers at the pool, walks and bike rides straight from your backyard, cozy fires on chilly evenings, and weekends along the Potomac.
