Welcome to 8622 Laroque Run Dr—an exceptional Southern Colonial located in the prestigious Estates of Chancellorsville. Privately set on 2 wooded acres, this custom-designed estate is one of the few homes of its architectural style within the neighborhood, offering a rare blend of timeless elegance, privacy, and distinction. Step inside and be greeted by timeless elegance, where soaring 10-foot ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, beautiful trim work, and floor-to-ceiling windows create an atmosphere of luxury throughout the main level. Flanking the foyer, the formal living room offers an inviting space for intimate gatherings or quiet moments of relaxation, while the adjacent formal dining room is designed to host with sophistication and style. Beyond the butler’s pantry, the home opens into a spacious gourmet kitchen thoughtfully designed as the centerpiece of daily living and entertaining. Featuring stainless steel appliances, an oversized island complete with a vegetable sink, abundant cabinetry, and breakfast areas, the chef’s kitchen blends functionality with elevated design. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the family room invites comfort with a gas fireplace and peaceful views overlooking the backyard and deck, creating a warm and welcoming setting year-round. Just beyond, a breezeway leads to the light-filled sunroom, surrounded by windows and designed as a tranquil retreat - the perfect place to enjoy morning coffee, a favorite book, or unwind at the end of the day. The sunroom thoughtfully connects back to the formal living room, enhancing both the flow and versatility of the home’s elegant main level. Choose between dual staircases leading to the second level, where 9-foot ceilings and wide hallways create an open, airy feel throughout. Upstairs, you’ll find 3 generously sized secondary bedrooms thoughtfully designed with both comfort and privacy in mind. One bedroom features a spacious walk-in closet and shares a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with the adjacent bedroom, while the 3rd offers the convenience of its own ensuite bath and walk-in closet. The primary suite serves as a true retreat, complete with a cozy gas stove and space for a sitting area, creating the perfect setting to unwind at the end of the day. The ensuite bath offers ample storage with a large linen closet, while two separate closets, including an oversized walk-in, provide abundant space. Enhancing the charm of this, the upper level offers access to the second-story front porch - one of the home’s Southern Colonial signature double porches - providing a peaceful place to take in the tranquil setting surrounding the property. The lower level continues to impress with abundant space and flexibility. A large, finished recreation room offers endless possibilities of a media room, game space, or additional living area along with the convenience of a 4th full bathroom.
