18120 RIDGEWOOD PLACE

What if your backyard extended for hundreds of acres -- and someone else maintained it? At 18120 Ridgewood Place, HOA-protected woodland wraps the rear of the property, Sleeter Lake sits steps away, and the Appalachian Trail is within five miles. It's a lifestyle you step into every morning -- from the covered deck, from the open-air Trex deck above, or from the lighted flagstone terrace below. Western Loudoun's most coveted outdoor amenities are essentially your backyard, without the acreage burden.



Inside, this 2017 Brookfield Residential Kensington model has been transformed by owners who treated every improvement as permanent. The result is a turnkey home where nothing has been deferred and everything has been upgraded: six bathrooms refreshed top to bottom, a kitchen outfitted with upgraded appliances, a custom pantry, a granite and walnut beverage center, and smart systems that run the home from your phone -- or your voice.




A 13-foot quartz island anchors the open kitchen, flowing into the sunroom and living room so the cook is never cut off from the conversation. All appliances have been upgraded between 2021 and 2026 -- including a Jenn-Air gas stovetop, ultra-quiet Bosch dishwasher, KitchenAid wall oven and microwave combo, Broan vent hood, and LG refrigerator. Smart undercabinet lighting and updated knobs and hardware complete the look. The custom pantry was rebuilt with butcher block counters over cabinets and drawers, walnut shelving for cookbooks and spices, and full shelving along both sides. The 2025 beverage center adds a granite countertop, filtered-water sink, undercounter beverage fridge, and solid walnut shelving -- every detail considered.





Step outside and the home expands dramatically. The covered deck (2022-2025) is a true outdoor room: tongue-and-groove fir ceiling, cedar cocktail rail, quiet ceiling fan, and Bluetooth-controlled speakers. The open Trex deck with gate connects via a lighted staircase to the flagstone terrace below -- accessed also through French doors from the finished lower-level suite -- where a ceiling fan, stacked stone retaining wall, and plantings of redbud, lavender, nepeta, and 100+ daffodils create a private sanctuary. Three French doors across the main level bring the woodland view inside year-round.




All five full baths and the powder room have been updated with quartz countertops, Kohler faucets, new mirrors, updated lighting, and soft-close toilet seats. The primary bath received frameless glass shower doors (2023) and new controls and showerhead (2026). The powder room (2025) features a Pottery Barn floating vanity, automatic lighting, and automatic door closure.




Lutron smart switches and hub, Hue lighting hub, IKEA undercabinet hub, voice-controlled fireplace, Ring doorbell, and Kwikset Halo programmable lock. Motion sensors throughout. Compatible with Apple Home, Google, and Alexa -- every switch still works manually too.




Whole-house humidifier (2022), HVAC on maintenance contract, Culligan water softener (2023), roof ridge vent replaced preventatively -- no known leak history. Custom closet systems in all bedrooms. All lighting was replaced with additional recessed cans. Lower level: workshop with built-in lighted workbench and separate seasonal storage.




Paddle to Sleeter Lake Park from your backyard. Nearby Franklin Park offers trails, tennis, disc golf, and the Franklin Park Arts Center minutes east. As a designated Appalachian Trail Community, Bears Den and Blackburn trail centers are within five miles. The W&OD Trail links you east through Loudoun. Purcellville's restaurants and shops are five miles away; Leesburg is twelve; the Blue Ridge and Shenandoah Valley are a short drive west. This is the western Loudoun lifestyle -- with a turnkey home that lets you enjoy every minute of it.
