Situated in the charming Spring Valley Village, 8911 Echo Valley is a 2,609 square foot home that was extensively renovated in 2017.
Every detail of the home has been thoughtfully addressed. Here you see the home has not only been painted in Alabaster White but the gutters and Urban Bronze trim perfectly blend with the other exterior details. The front courtyard has oversized concrete pavers which allow for a visual extension off of the dining room and study.
As you step in the front door, to the right of the foyer is this 15' x 12' dining room which easilhy accommodates seating for eight.
Dual, north facing double pane windows overlook the front outdoor sitting area while recessed can LED lighting illuminates the room. On the opposite side of the entry hall is the home office/study.
This home office also has durable "wood plank" tile flooring with a front window that overlooks the front yard.
As you make your way towards the rear of the house, you arrive at the 18' x 16 1/2' living room. The tray ceiling exceeds nine feet in height while sliding glass doors overlook the patio and backyard, further extending the living space.
The homeowners hired a designer to create a large entertaining area with the kitchen opening to the living room all while maintaining maximum functionality. To the right of the kitchen is a dry bar with an undercabinet refrigerator, adjacent to the sliding doors that lead to the second living area.
Step outside the sliding glass doors to this perfect lounge area. A privacy fence encloses the space while a breezeway connects the garage to the back door. Here you will see the wall-mounted televsion with string lights that create the perfect ambiance. 
At your disposal for recreational use are the walking trails along the rear property line of the homes on the southern side of Echo Valley extending almost to Campbell Rd.
Captured here is the backyard of this 10,000 square foot property. The massive tree to the right provides ample shade to your back patio during the spring, summer and fall months.
How can you beat sitting by the fire roasting marshmallows while your children play in the additional 90' deep Spring Valley Village 'backyard' with its beauty being maintained by the municipality? It is only this 225' cleard section, which extends west to the fence along Fries Rd., that provides the neighborhood with a hidden half acre lawn.
Another view of the outdoor living area shows the "Green Egg" which is next to the gas stub-out should you desire to have an outdoor kitchen installed. To the right of the antique red cooler is the back door that leads to the 11 1/2' x 6' laundry/mud room.
Stepping back inside the home from the sliding door you will notice two cased openings. The one to the right of the gas log fireplace leads to three secondary bedrooms and two full baths. The opening to the left leads to the master suite.
The 20' x 11' kitchen was "taken to the studs". With everything fashionably remodeled less that four years ago, this updated kitchen has new cabinetry, tile work, undercabinet lighting and more.
A 3cm Fantasy Brown stone island acts as, not only a breakfast table, but a circulation center where you will find yourself and guest playing board games into the late hours of the night.
The stainless kitchen appliance package was also replaced in 2017 and this 6-burner, gas range with oversized 36" venthood is a chef's dream. Note the pot filler mounted on the wall.
Here is another angle of the kitchen and how it opens up to the family room. The door in center frame leads to the laundry room while a chef's pantry to the right extends from floor to ceiling. To the right of those pantry doors is the entrance into the home office/study.
Currently utilzied as a home office, this was once the dining room and could easily be transformed back into the dining area should one desire to.
Another view of the home office with its dual west facing windows with plantation shutters. A French door refrigerator is seen in the kitchen from this angle.
Another view of the kitchen from the threshold of the office. Notice the additional storage column to the left of the utility room door. In 2017, PEX plumbing was installed throughout the entire home along with new electric wiring and breaker box.
Another photo of the living room with the stacked stone fireplace surround and built in shelving, also circa 2017.
The tray ceiling exceeds nine feet in height and new ceiling fans were installed in the living area as well as all bedrooms. To the left is the vestibule that leads to the master suite.
The master suite was constructed in 2017 and has 12' ceiling with wooden beam. The sout facing windows overlook the backyard and sports field.
Plush carpet flooring was instaled in each of the bedrooms and the master bath was rconfigured, seen in the opening to the left.
The dual sink Maestro Quartz vanity sits center stage while a jetted hydrotherapy tub is to the left. To the right of the vanity is a large walk-in shower and private water closet. The door to the far right leads to one walk-in closet while the door in the reflection of the mirror leads to the second wardrobe, which is 15+ feet deep.
Another view of the master bedroom with dual east facing windows anchoring the television wall. When the master suite was added to the property in 2017, a separate HVAC zone was installed allowing it to be independently cooled.
Another view of the living room as you exit the master suite shows the dry bar. The owners provided plumbing within the wall should one desire to have an ice machine installed in the future.
This perspective shows the corridor leading to the additional three bedrooms and two full baths.
This bedorom has a large west facing window, 5-blade ceiling fan an ensuite bathroom.
The large shower, cabinetry and vanity with chrome plumbing was all installed in 2017. 
The middle bedroom also has a west facing window and the door to the right of the bed opens to a walk-in closet, which each of the three secondary bedrooms possess.
The fourth bedroom has dual windows that have been elevated to a 'privacy' height that overlook the front outdoor sitting area.
The hall bath is 11' x 7 1/2' and also has Maestro Quartz counters. What makes this "Hollywood" bath high purposeful is one can be in the shower with the door closed while another individual is brushing their teeth.
8911 Echo Valley also has black star gavel around the perimeter of the home, which gives it a modern touch. Additional capital improvements since 2017 include new windows, commercial water heater, furnace, gas log fireplace, interior doors & trim, appliances and more.
