17408 Doctor Bird Rd, Sandy Spring, MD 20860
What's special
Set on two private, wooded acres, this beautifully updated 4-bedroom, 4-bath home offers a wonderful combination of modern improvements, flexible living space, and peaceful surroundings. The upper level has been thoughtfully refreshed with a brand-new kitchen, beautifully refinished hardwood floors, luxury vinyl plank flooring in the bedrooms, and updated bathrooms. The new deck extends the living space outdoors and provides the perfect spot to relax, entertain, or simply enjoy the privacy and wooded views. The lower level adds tremendous versatility, featuring a bonus room ideal for guests, a home office, gym, hobby space, or whatever best suits your needs. A convenient kitchenette makes this level especially functional for extended stays or entertaining. You'll also find an impressive workshop and generous storage space as well as a 2 car garage—perfect for projects, tools, and keeping everything organized. A new HVAC system installed in 2025 to give you additional peace of mind. Tucked away among the trees, the property feels wonderfully secluded, yet you're still conveniently close to shopping, dining, and major commuter routes. It’s the best of both worlds—a peaceful, private setting without sacrificing everyday convenience.
