2025 Triangle Parade of Homes GOLD MEDAL: Milling Around | Welcome to 709 Mills St. in Hi-Mount Step inside and the foyer sets the tone: exposed wood beams overhead, a statement chandelier, and herringbone wide-plank hardwoods underfoot. Every detail is considered, from the main-floor study with custom shelving to the first-floor primary suite with its spa-caliber bath, oversized walk-in closet, soaking tub, and dual miter-cut quartz vanities. At the heart of the home, twin sets of four-panel sliders dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. Both the living room and all-seasons den open seamlessly to a heated screened porch with slate tile flooring and a wood-burning fireplace framed in chevron-pattern shiplap - an invitation to linger in every season. The kitchen is designed as both a showpiece and a chef's playground: backlit glass-front cabinetry, an ornate range hood, paneled built-in refrigeration, a generous island, and striking quartz countertops. Upstairs, a versatile rec room and additional flex space offer room to adapt - office, gym, or retreat. Beyond the interiors, a fenced backyard and two-car garage add everyday convenience to the home's refined personality. With its open flow, meticulous craftsmanship, and Rock Creek's signature designer finishes, 709 Mills Street isn't just a Parade entry - it's an experience. See it for yourself and discover what understated luxury feels like.
