23214 Murdock Ridge Way, Clarksburg, MD 20871

This expansive home has the largest floor plan in the neighborhood and is ideal for those who like to entertain! Multiple custom upgrades include an 11 ft bump out on all 3 levels for even more living space. The open layout of the main lvl encourages mingling, with a large, double-sided, granite wet bar taking center stage. Stately pillars separate the living and dining areas, and airy 9’ ceilings are accented by gorgeous crown molding. This home’s owner (its first and only) added thoughtful details like the wine rack incorporated into the bay window seat in the dining room, built-in desk on the large landing overlooking the two-story foyer, and ceiling speakers to play music throughout the house. The main level gracefully flows from the living and dining areas in the front, to the grand, well-planned family rm, breakfast area, morning room, and gourmet kitchen in the back, allowing "togetherness" for several people engaged in different activities, or an ideal setup for a large party! Sleek granite counters, 42” rich cherry maple cabinets, and a lg island with pendant lighting and bar stools convey a perfect balance of high luxury and casual coziness. Grill on the upper deck for your summer soiree, overlooking a generous fully fenced yard and lush rolling hills with beautiful MD sunsets. In colder seasons, gather in front of the gas FP on a cushy, oversized sectional and watch a movie in the family rm. You’ll love the customized home office, complete with built-ins and French doors. Upstairs are 4 BR, including a magnificent primary suite accentuated by a deep tray ceiling and pillared entry to wraparound bench seating in the sitting room addition. Two well-planned closets make for ample and easy storage, and the en suite bath has double sinks with granite counters and soaking tub. The finished, above-grade, walkout lower lvl offers a lg rec room or theater (movie projector conveys!), 5th BR (or gym, yoga room, playroom, etc.), bonus room, full bath, and access to the 2-car garage w/ temp-controlled storage rm. A rear paver patio is an ideal place to stargaze -- add a hot tub for full effect! – and has stairs to the upper deck. This home is an excellent value for the floor plan and upgrades it offers. Once you spend time here, you won't want to leave!
