Built in 2010, the home presents a thoughtfully designed, expansive layout ideal for both everyday comfort and seamless entertaining. A welcoming front porch and side-entry three-car attached garage lead into a functional mudroom complete with beadboard accents, a utility sink, and built-in bench seating. The foyer is elegantly flanked by formal living and dining rooms, showcasing rich hardwood flooring, soaring and tray ceilings with cove lighting, crown molding, and an abundance of natural light. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen is beautifully appointed with warm finishes, a center island with breakfast bar, 42” soft-close cabinetry, a spacious pantry, stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a rustic stone backsplash, and a convenient pot filler. The kitchen opens seamlessly to a light-filled morning room and an impressive two-story great room featuring coffered ceilings, custom built-ins, plush carpeting, and a gas fireplace with a stone surround. The adjacent breakfast area boasts a vaulted ceiling, skylights, ceramic tile flooring, and access to exceptional outdoor living spaces, including an open deck, a fenced yard with pristine landscaping, and a screened-in porch with its own wood-burning fireplace, perfect for year-round enjoyment. The main-level primary suite serves as a private retreat, offering plush carpeting, a walk-in closet, a double tray ceiling with cove lighting, and direct access to a secluded porch. The luxurious en-suite bath features a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanities. A powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, a wrought-iron-accented staircase leads to a well-appointed upper level with a private bedroom suite and updated en-suite bath, two additional bedrooms (including one with an expansive bonus space), a hall bath, and a versatile loft ideal for a lounge, media, or game area. The fully finished walkout lower level expands the home’s versatility with a spacious recreation area, modern flooring, a kitchenette, home gym, bonus room or potential bedroom, full bath, and abundant natural light. A standout feature is the custom detached garage, offering three oversized bays ideal for RVs, ATVs, or car enthusiasts, along with a powder room and an unfinished upper level ready to be transformed into a home office or studio apartment. Surrounded by nature yet conveniently located near MD-32, I-70, shopping, dining, Western Regional Park, Circle D, Cattail Creek Country Club, and top-rated schools, this extraordinary property offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility.
