Some homes look nice. This one makes you stop as you drive up the street. The dark grey blue Hardie plank with crisp white trim is the kind of exterior that photographs beautifully and looks even better in person. This is one of the original Tidewater-designed homes in Potomac Shores, a design philosophy where the back of the home is just as intentional and inviting as the front. From the street or the backyard, this home has presence. The covered front porch sets the tone before you ever step inside. It is the kind of porch people mean when they say they have always wanted a porch deep enough to actually use, covered so the weather is not in charge. Inside, the custom-tile foyer and extensive molding immediately signal that everything here was chosen deliberately. The sellers bought 2604 Crossvine Drive as their forever home and treated it that way. Built in 2018 and meticulously maintained, this Berkeley Model Craftsman has been thoughtfully upgraded throughout: engineered hardwood floors on the main level, wood stairs with iron balusters, new LVP flooring across the entire lower level, new carpet in the bedrooms, and fresh paint throughout. It is move-in ready in every sense of the phrase. Some people want a yard. Others want a life that moves between inside and outside without thinking about it. This home was built for the second group. The floor plan flows the way buyers always hope a home will flow but rarely find. The dining room is the kind of space that earns its own Instagram moment. The gourmet kitchen features cream-colored cabinetry with glass uppers that extend to the ceiling, a large center island, and counter space that makes entertaining feel easy rather than stressful. The great room sits adjacent to the kitchen and is one of the largest in the community. A wall of windows overlooks the backyard, and a warm cozy family room rounds off the open space. Step through the French doors to a large covered rear porch overlooking a custom block patio and a fully fenced yard. Upstairs, the primary bedroom has its own private covered balcony accessed through a single door, a quiet place that belongs entirely to you. Two levels of outdoor living on the rear, a wide covered porch on the front. Morning coffee, evening wine, a book, a conversation, this home gives you options most Northern Virginia homes simply do not have. The lower level was designed with the same intention as the rest of the home. A custom dry bar that makes a statement, a media room with a moody and intentional feel, a dedicated second office space, an additional bedroom, and a full bath. Nothing down here feels like an afterthought. The location works hard for commuters. Positioned near the back entrance to Potomac Shores, you can avoid the school bus and future parkway traffic on the main boulevard and are two turns from Route 1 and minutes from I-95 and Quantico. For buyers relocating to Northern Virginia or anyone looking for a new place to call home along the 95 corridors. This location makes a daily quality-of-life difference. And then there is the community itself. Potomac Shores is a 2,000-acre master-planned community on the Potomac River. Featuring neighborhood schools. Your HOA includes high-speed internet, access to resort-style pools, a state-of-the-art fitness center, central park, community gardens, 10 miles of nature trails that will connect to the 900-mile Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail. The Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course is public and offers a resident discount. The social calendar is real: classes, clubs, events, and neighbors who actually know each other. The Future Town Center and VRE are coming in the next few years. If you have been waiting for a home that has been truly cared for and is ready for the next family to make it their own, this is the one.
