Luxury living at Foxwood Crossing

Kettler Forlines Homes has been building communities of new homes for sale in Poolesville for decades. We love the town! So when the Kettlers found 13 acres of property available in a beautiful location, they purchased it.

While some developers might cut the land into small lots to build more houses, the Kettler Forlines team decided to create more than new homes for sale in Poolesville. They envisioned a lifestyle. So, the land was divided into just 5 large lots, with homesites ranging from 2.12 to 3.2 acres—thus, creating an intimate community of estate homes, where the residents could experience something truly unique in the area.

The first Foxwood Crossing home is ready!

Now that you know the reasoning behind the location and the vision for Foxwood Crossing, look at how Kettler Forlines Homes transformed the idea into reality. 

The first home for sale is located on a large lot at 17225 Tom Fox Avenue. This gorgeous, luxury home is a showcase that was built to The Kenwood I floor plan, a Kettler Forlines Homes exclusive design. The Traditional architecture is accented with a full stone front and a covered front porch. Situated on the largest homesite in Foxwood Crossing (3.2 acres), the new home presents distinctive curb appeal, enhanced with the side-loaded 4-car garage. Watch this video for a bird’s eye view of this magnificent home and the surrounding area.

Step inside to 6,400 square feet, separated among 3 finished levels. The estate home at 17225 Tom Fox Avenue features 7 bedrooms  (including a first-floor guest bedroom), 6 full baths, a chef’s kitchen, 2 screened porches, multiple fireplaces, flex spaces, and an open floor plan that is brightened with the natural sunlight streaming in!

The first floor. Explore the flow that gives open space where you need it and privacy where you want it. You’ll see details that reflect the craftsmanship that has earned Kettler Forlines Homes a reputation for excellence, The main living area is accented with crown molding and wainscoting. The wood floors add warmth and elegance. Sidelights on the front door  and transom windows speak to attention to detail. The choice of cabinet hardware, lighting fixtures, interior doors, and wood shelving in the closets and pantry demonstrate that Kettler Forlines Homes understands that every choice contributes to the overall presentation of a home.

We’ve also earned praise for kitchen design. We’ve designed these functional spaces for our homes, of course, but also been called upon to renovate kitchens. So, you can imagine that when our kitchen designer went to work on the details for The Kenwood I, nothing was missed.

SilestoneTM quartz countertops in white blend with the custom cabinetry. The oversized center island is equipped with 2 dishwashers, and the breakfast bar comfortably seats 4 people. We installed a VikingTM gas cooktop and dual wall ovens, the choice of today’s cooks. This outstanding chef’s kitchen also includes a 5-foot-wide refrigerator and freezer unit. You’ll appreciate the inclusion of  a walk-in pantry (with custom wood shelves) and a butler’s serving station.

The first floor of this luxury home also considers the other spaces that make living more comfortable: The great room, a family-sized breakfast room/ sunroom, formal dining room, a flex room that can also be used as a first-floor bedroom (with full bath)and family entry, complete with built-in bench, cubbies, and hooks. The home office on the main floor is more than a designated space. We created a true workspace, with built-in shelves and cabinets, and added crown molding and French doors for style.

Step out to the screened porch, with  2-sided fireplace, and take in the view of the large, private rear lawn, surrounded by trees.

The second floor. The second level of the home at 17225 Tom Fox Avenue is dedicated to private living. 

The owner’s suite is much more than a bedroom and bathroom. It is an inviting escape. The bedroom is one of the largest rooms in the house—deservedly so!  We’ve included a fireplace for comfort and ambience. The bedroom leads to its own screened loggia, where you enjoy the outdoors and the view of your beautiful yard. 

The separate retreat room is set off with a vestibule entry and French doors. This is your own private living area. Set up a fitness center, library, hobby studio, or another office. We’ve designed the suite to pamper you!

The suite’s luxury continues into the ensuite bath. Treat yourself to the comforts of a freestanding tub, large walk-in shower with frameless glass doors, and dual but separate vanities. The walk-in closets are just as spacious as every other room and nook and we’ve included custom wood shelving here as well.

Four more bedrooms, 3 full baths, and the laundry center complete the second floor. 

The lower level. Why not finish the lower level with the same sensibility as the rest of the house? So many homeowners don’t make the most of this lower level. We couldn’t overlook the potential here!

While you might not expect natural light in the basement, you’ll be pleasantly surprised with this living area. The home was designed for a finished lower level that’s bright and cheery. A glass walkout door welcomes daylight and high ceilings add to the openness. For the rest of the expansive finished basement, you’ll have plenty of lighting that shines on the rec room, flex room, bedroom, full bath, and kitchenette, which is outfitted with a combination pantry-wine storage.

With the proper thinking, a finished basement adds a new dimension to the home!
