About This Home

As of January 2025

Welcome to 14205 Cervantes Avenue, a luxury single-family home nestled in the desirable Darnestown Knolls subdivision boasting 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths and three finished levels. This nearly 5,800 square foot residence is beautifully situated on a sprawling, private 2.08-acre lot that backs to the serene, wooded expanse of Muddy Branch Park, providing a tranquil backdrop for your everyday living.

This home with an elegant brick front features two expansive decks, a huge patio, and an outbuilding equipped with electric service, perfect for a workshop or additional storage. A charming gazebo accents the outdoor space, making it an ideal setting for entertaining or relaxing in nature. The property is enhanced by a newly repaved expanded driveway and a roof installed in 2022, complete with 50-year shingles for added peace of mind.

Step inside to discover a gracious entrance foyer with soaring 20-foot ceilings, setting the tone for the luxurious finishes throughout. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring high-end appliances and ample space for culinary creations. Entertain guests in the formal living room and dining room, or unwind in the sunroom, highlighted by vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light.

The main level also includes a private office, perfect for remote work or study. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers a retreat-like experience with two generous walk-in closets and a spa-like bath featuring a separate shower and soaking tub. Three additional spacious bedrooms are located on this level, one of which includes a private en-suite bath.

The fully finished walkout lower level is a standout feature, offering an expansive recreation room, a versatile flex room or den, a full bath, and a huge finished storage area that can easily be converted into additional living space. Cozy up in the dedicated home theater, perfect for movie nights or entertaining friends.

It is located just seconds from Haris Teeter, River Road, Darnestown Road, and just minutes from the South Germantown Recreation Center.

Don’t miss the opportunity to make this luxurious property your forever home!
