The main level of the home boasts mostly hardwood floors, gracing the living room, dining room, and family room. A powder room conveniently serves guests. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, complete with granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including a 6-burner gas cooktop and convection oven. The island features a vegetable prep sink, while the adjacent butler's pantry is equipped with a mini fridge and wet bar. Adjacent to the kitchen, you'll find a delightful breakfast room and a family room with a vaulted ceiling, creating a spacious and inviting atmosphere. A triple French door with transoms leads out to a sprawling Trex deck, perfect for outdoor entertaining. Additionally, a charming slate patio extends your entertainment space while providing panoramic views of the property. The upper level of the home is equally impressive, housing the primary bedroom, complete with a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath featuring double sinks, a tile shower, and a luxurious soaking tub. Another bedroom on this level serves as a versatile space, ideal for an office with its gas fireplace and recessed lighting. The next upper level reveals three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom, ensuring ample accommodation for family and guests. The lower level of the home presents a full office, another full bathroom, and a mechanical cellar area. This level also provides convenient access to the oversized garage area, offering plenty of storage space. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of La Plata's history at 9789 Charles St. Schedule your private viewing today and envision a life of refined elegance, modern comfort, and captivating stories from the past.
