About This Home

As of December 2024

Nestled quietly at the end of a private drive, this four sided brick, Custom Colonial offers all the classic luxury you could desire. A serene and peaceful setting with five pristine, wooded acres provides a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life. This masterfully crafted, solidly constructed home is filled with exceptional moldings, high ceilings and walls of windows. Nature embraces you inside and out! Walk through the elegant, glass front doors and into the welcoming and dramatic Entry Foyer. The thoughtfully designed floor plan blends the traditional with the more airy, open modern concept. The sense of space in this house is an incredible feeling! Do you enjoy large scale entertaining? This home can host very large parties yet offers a warm and intimate atmosphere for more personal gatherings. The Formal Living Room with a bay window and gorgeous custom moldings offers space for a baby grand piano. Set quietly off the Living Room is the Conservatory with a high custom ceiling and walls of windows providing spectacular views of the natural beauty outdoors. Also tucked away is the wood paneled Library with walls of built-ins- perfect for those working from home. The large Formal Dining Room has a big bay window and exquisite moldings. The piece de resistance is the stunning Two-Story Great Room/Family Room with a Persian tea rose marble and Alabaster gas fireplace, Palladian windows and exceptional moldings. Glass doors offer access to the spacious rear deck overlooking the backyard and further back, the woodlands. Inside, the Family Room/Great Room opens to the wonderful, updated Chef's Kitchen with a center island, six burner gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances, a wet bar and pantry. Off the kitchen, you'll find the coveted, practical and useful Laundry/Mud Room and a spacious Three Car Garage. The Upper Level is comprised of four generously proportioned bedrooms and three full bathrooms. A "bridge" connecting the bedroom spaces provides great views into the Foyer, the Great Room and outdoors. The sumptuous Primary Suite features an expansive Bedroom with a vaulted ceiling plus a cozy and comfortable sitting room nook. The exquisite marble primary bathroom offers double vanities, a large marble stall shower, Jacuzzi tub and separate commode room. The Bonus Room off the Primary Suite is flexible space for a second home office, a yoga/exercise room, a meditation sanctuary or a baby nursery. The daylight, walk-out Lower Level is the entertainer's dream with a huge recreation room with a brick fireplace, two full custom built bars, game space and a music/media room. A walkout Au Pair/Guest Room with an en suite full bath rounds out the finished space. The lower level provides easy access out to the level backyard with room for touch football games, kicking a soccer ball or just gazing off into the trees. After seeing the main house, don't miss the custom built six car (tandem) garage, the ideal offering for the car enthusiast! Along with the attached three car garage, this six car garage gives you a total of 9 secure garage parking spaces. If cars are not your passion, use your imagination. Would you love to have a woodworking shop, an art studio, Pilates studio--you name it. Newer architectural shingle roof (2021) and driveway within the last couple years. Make your dreams come true! This house truly leaves nothing to be desired! Ideally located in Darnestown, this home offers the best of everything - easy access to the I-270 BioTech Corridor, Potomac Village and onwards into town. Darnestown is loved for it's bucolic feel, community spirit, numerous parks with miles of hiking trails plus the Maryland Soccer Plex for sports activities. It's a wonderful way of life. Won't you make this your home today?
