Welcome to this beautifully maintained, south-facing, four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath home, offering the perfect balance of space, comfort, and scenic tranquility. It is ideally situated on a gorgeous, nearly half-acre, premium lot in a cul-de-sac with picturesque tree-lined views of conserved forested areas in both the front and rear. With no future development across the street or in back, the home enjoys unobstructed natural vistas, and the expansive, flat backyard backing to trees creates a private and peaceful outdoor retreat. The lot is landscaped with Japanese maples, red maples, a river birch, peonies, and small lily pond. From the moment you step into the dramatic two-story foyer with ceramic tile flooring and chandelier above, you are welcomed by an airy, open, sun-lit feel that continues throughout the main level, where rich Canadian maple hardwood floors provide warmth and continuity. A private office with track lighting offers an ideal work-from-home space, while the elegant living and dining rooms feature triple crown molding and recessed lighting, creating refined yet inviting areas for entertaining. The main level also includes a convenient half bath with pedestal sink and two-door coat closet. At the heart of the home, the spacious eat-in kitchen is designed for both functionality and gathering. It features Corian countertops, a center island (with brand-new gas cooktop), abundant cabinets, a built-in desk, walk-in pantry, recessed lighting, updated double ovens, and newer refrigerator and dishwasher. These areas seamlessly open to the welcoming family room with continued maple hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, and direct access to a large wood deck perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The adjacent laundry/mudroom includes a front-loading washer and dryer, shelving, utility sink, and access to the two-car garage (with durable polyaspartic floor coating), while the newly asphalted driveway enhances curb appeal. Upstairs, the home offers four generously sized bedrooms, with ceiling fans, maple hardwood flooring throughout, including a spacious primary suite filled with natural light from extra windows and featuring a comfortable sitting area and two walk-in closets. The primary ensuite bath has a ceramic floor, separate soaking tub, linen closet, and has been thoughtfully updated within the past year with new quartz countertops and a frameless barn-door- style glass shower enclosure. The three additional bedrooms provide ample space, closet storage, and even attic access. They are served by a full hall bath with a double vanity, tub-shower combination, and ceramic flooring. The massive, partially-finished basement offers excellent potential, with drywall, painted concrete floors, installed electrical outlets, shelving, and a bathroom rough-in. The ceiling remains open to floor joists, allowing the next owner to customize the space to their needs. Major systems have been well maintained, including a newer HVAC and 80 gallon water heater. The home also has a brand-new architectural shingle roof. With its generous layout, quality finishes, and serene natural setting, this impressive home presents a rare opportunity to enjoy refined living with space, privacy, and convenience all in one exceptional property. The neighborhood is known for its quiet, low-traffic streets and scenic wooded surroundings, with a path providing easy walking access to a county recreation center, public library, and newly renovated Columbia Park, which includes numerous sports areas, other amenities, and a hiking trail. The location also provides convenient access to shopping, dining, and major commuter routes including Routes 29, 198, 200, and I-95, making it easy to reach surrounding areas like Columbia, Silver Spring, and Washington, D.C.
