Nestled inside Ruxton’s only gated community, this stately home in the Ridge at Ruxton will check every required box on your list. Situated around the bend towards the end of the development, 712 Abell Ridge is a dream come true. It is the ideal balance of having everything you want – in just the right size and proportion. A lovely foyer welcomes all with gleaming hardwood floors, a stately staircase and a dazzling light fixture. A formal dining room and living room are perfect for entertaining or relishing in a quiet space. Flanking the bank of the house – the perfect combination of today’s modern necessities. The updated gourmet kitchen boasts a stunning tile backsplash, a large center island & chef’s appliances. Setting this kitchen apart from all others: the seating area awash by a set of windows and the coziness of a fireplace. There is a natural flow from the kitchen into the large family room with another fireplace. The spaces are ideal complements to each other. The adjacent den is outfitted with a built-in system for electronics, crafts and storage – for any age and any size. The main level space is rounded out with a butler’s bar, a large pantry, a mudroom with the perfect built-ins and a large back deck. An impressive second level is accessed by the front or back staircase. The large primary suite has a fireplace, a bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower - and a fabulous walk-in closet/dressing room that clothes and accessories dream of calling home. Two large bedrooms with massive closets share a full bathroom and the fourth bedroom is nicely tucked away with its own ensuite bathroom. The piece de resistance: the laundry room that has not one but two washers and two dryers. Brilliant! The lower level has its own share of rare treasures. A large recreation room with a cozy storage nook, room for a billiard table and lounging space and a walkout to the patio. But wait, there’s more: another bedroom with a full bathroom, the required home gym & utility space – and an unbelievable studio/office that is soundproof. You can make uninterrupted zoom calls, create YouTube videos, mix some music - endless techie options. You will love coming home to 712 Abell Ridge; feel the sense of security as the gate closes behind, drive into your two-car attached garage and walk into this spectacular home that has everything you want and more!
