Property Description

This Is What “Having It All” Looks Like. Beautifully updated, impeccably maintained and completely current, this 2-bedroom plus den Henderson model townhome in Valeria delivers the space of a house with a whole lot less to worry about. Inside, it feels polished but never precious. Handscraped wood floors run through the main living areas, while a tray ceiling gives the dining room just enough drama. The kitchen is right on trend with rich tonal cabinetry, quartz countertops, an oversized pantry and smart storage including soft-close doors/drawers and pull-out drawer shelving. And then there’s the family room — easily the showstopper. A soaring vaulted ceiling, substantial oak beams, skylights and a stone-faced gas fireplace create a room that feels warm, architectural and completely inviting. Step outside to the patio and the mood gets even better: instead of looking onto a typical common area, this home backs to the woods, creating a remarkably private setting for morning coffee, dinner outside or absolutely nothing at all. The main-level Primary Suite makes everyday living especially easy, with a vaulted ceiling, a wall of windows, an oversized walk-in dressing room and a beautiful bath with double vanity and large shower. Upstairs, the open loft adds another flexible layer of living space and includes two walk-in closets. A bright guest bedroom with vaulted ceiling and its own walk-in closet is joined by a full hall bath with double vanity, tub and generous linen storage. And a separate den/library behind double doors is ideal for working from home, reading, binge-watching behind closed doors or whatever your definition of “office” or guest space happens to be. And because nobody has ever complained about having too much space, the enormous unfinished lower level is exceptionally clean, has high ceilings and offers tremendous potential for a gym, media room, recreation space, studio, wine room or whatever comes next. Add a two-car garage, main-level laundry, two-zone heating and exterior maintenance handled by the association, and daily life gets decidedly easier. But Valeria is about more than the house. Set amid hundreds of acres of conserved land surrounding Dickerson Pond, the community offers a resort-like collection of amenities including a swimming pool, clubhouse and fitness/wellness facilities, tennis and pickleball, walking and hiking trails, a boathouse and lake access for kayaking, canoeing and fishing. There are also community social clubs and gathering spaces, making this one of those rare places where you can be as active — or as blissfully uninvolved — as you choose. Mint condition. Main-level Primary Suite. Serious privacy. Two-car garage. Incredible community. 13 Bernheimer Lane is easy living without downsizing your expectations.
