Property Description

12537 Ridgegate Drive is the kind of home buyers hope to find and rarely do: a brick-front colonial with over 5,000 finished square feet on three levels, set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on an extremely private fenced lot with beautiful landscaping, room to play, and outdoor spaces that actually feel usable. From the moment you walk in, the home feels bright, warm, and generous, with sunlight pouring through the many windows and skylights, hardwood floors across the main level, recessed lighting throughout, and a layout that gives everyone space without losing the comfort of a true home. The main kitchen is designed for real daily living, with 42-inch white cabinetry, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, an island with seating, a walk-in pantry, wine fridge, and the kind of storage that keeps life organized. It opens to large gathering spaces, including a dramatic family room with soaring ceilings, skylights, and a gas fireplace, creating a central place to relax, host, watch the game, or spend a quiet night in. A main-level office with French doors and a full wall of custom built-ins gives you a proper work-from-home space, while the formal living and dining areas add flexibility for holidays, dinner parties, music rooms, homework zones, or whatever the next season of life requires. Upstairs, the primary suite feels like a true retreat, with hardwood floors, a spacious sitting area, a massive walk-in closet with custom built-ins, and a beautifully updated bath with heated floors, a towel warmer, custom marble counters, dual sinks, a frameless glass shower with multiple shower heads and a bench, soaring ceilings, skylight, and a private water closet. Three additional upper-level bedrooms are bright and comfortable with generous closets and ceiling fans, and the updated hall bath has the polished, timeless feel buyers want without needing to take on a project. Bedroom-level laundry adds everyday convenience, because no one wants to carry laundry up and down three levels if they do not have to. The walkout lower level is what makes this home especially flexible, offering a full bedroom, full bath, built-in bar or kitchen area, great entertaining space, and direct access to the rear stone patio. Whether you need space for guests, long-term family, an au pair, a private work area, a game room, or simply a second living zone, this level gives you options that most homes do not. Outside, the composite deck off the kitchen overlooks the private backyard, while the stone patio below creates another place to gather, grill, relax, or let the yard become the backdrop for everyday life. The oversized two-car garage, approximately 35 by 20 feet, offers incredible storage with ceiling storage on multiple walls, making it ideal for bikes, tools, sports gear, seasonal decor, and everything else that usually ends up without a home. The major updates are already handled, including roof and skylights in 2017, HVAC in 2016, upper HVAC 2024, water heater
