About This Home
Gracious Living in the Heart of Potomac Set along a quiet, tree-lined stretch of Democracy Lane, 10409 Democracy Lane offers more than 5500 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space where scale, comfort, and timeless design come together with ease. From the moment you enter, a dramatic two-story foyer introduces the home’s architectural presence, creating an immediate sense of openness and light that continues throughout the residence. The main level unfolds with a natural flow between formal and everyday living spaces. A gracious living room and refined dining room provide elegant settings for entertaining, while the heart of the home centers around an expansive eat-in kitchen with a generous breakfast area. The kitchen opens seamlessly into the family room, where a striking stone fireplace with custom built-ins anchors the space and creates a warm gathering place filled with natural light and views of the rear deck and landscaped backyard. A powder room, laundry area, and mudroom connecting directly to the two-car garage add convenience and practicality to the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite is defined by soaring cathedral ceilings, creating a sense of architectural drama and retreat. The suite offers generous proportions, multiple closets, and a spacious bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower, and a private commode room. Three additional bedrooms and two full baths complete the upper level, including one bedroom with its own ensuite bath, offering flexibility for family members, guests, or work-from-home needs. The finished lower level, renovated approximately seven years ago, expands the home’s versatility with a large recreation room centered around a cozy fireplace, ideal for movie nights, casual gatherings, or play. A fifth bedroom and full bath provide comfortable accommodations for guests or extended stays, while a substantial storage room offers exceptional additional space. The location places you close to many of Potomac’s most beloved conveniences. Cabin John Village, Potomac Village, Westfield Montgomery Mall, and Wildwood Shopping Center offer a wide array of shopping, dining, and everyday amenities just minutes away. Commuters benefit from easy access to I-495 and I-270, providing convenient connections to Washington, DC, Bethesda, and the broader region. With its generous proportions, thoughtfully updated lower level, and beautifully balanced living spaces, 10409 Democracy Lane offers a rare opportunity to enjoy comfortable, well-scaled living in one of Potomac’s most convenient and established settings.
