About This Home

As of January 2025

Timeless elegance abounds at this immaculate Northern Calvert County residence. Nestled peacefully against the wood line, at the end of a cul de sac, in a sought-after neighborhood this home defines what it means to make a house a HOME. The exterior is adorned with stone and vinyl cedar shake accent. Beautiful landscaping complements the home’s welcoming appearance.

Upon entering you’ll step into a soaring foyer beckoning you to experience all this home has to offer. Natural light abounds and the open floorplan allows for sweeping views. Main level highlights included gleaming hardwood floors, 9ft ceilings, large windows, and an array of hand selected design upgrades. The living room has custom picture frame molding . The adjacent dining room complements with sophisticated wainscoting and chair rail. Perfectly sized to accommodate a 10–12-person dining table with a glittering chandelier, you and your guests will dine in style. The brightly lit kitchen highlights a grand island, arched window and gleaming quartz countertops. An abundance of cabinets are accented by a warm marble backsplash. There is ample storage space for all your kitchen items and dining ware. Preparing meals is a dream with the five-burner gas cooktop, double wall ovens, built in microwave, and large farmhouse sink. A walk-in pantry offers additional storage space. The kitchen flows openly into the impressive two-story great room. Extra-large windows are framed in decorative moldings and a coffered ceiling gracefully completes the space. A gas burning fireplace with marble surround lends a cozy comfort. Off of the great room is the home office featuring custom-built bookcases, crown molding, and expansive views of the backyard.

The crown jewel of this residence is the light drenched sunroom. Surrounded on three sides by double windows, all featuring transoms, this room truly brings the beauty of the surrounding landscape inside. Relax in this space and feel the peaceful calm overtake you as you admire the glittering sunshine hitting the leaves outside.

On the upper level you’ll find well-sized bedrooms and a large laundry room. The primary suite is gracefully appointed with a tray ceiling and walk in closet featuring custom built cabinetry with soft close drawers. The en-suite bathroom showcases a deep soaking tub and dual vanities with quartz tops. The walk-in shower is tiled floor to ceiling and includes dual shower heads, bench, and glass door.

The lower level features 9ft ceilings and a bathroom rough in. It is ready for you to dream the perfect layout. The 2 ½ car side load garage is drywalled, painted, and the floors were professionally coated in epoxy and polyaspartic, making for easy clean up and superior durability. The garage doors are remotely operable via an app. The garage is accessed via the mudroom off the kitchen. The mudroom is well equipped with a built-in bench and storage cubbies. The home features a three-zone built in sound system (kitchen, sunroom, and primary suite) controlled via app. The great room is wired for surround sound. A professional whole house security system is installed and operable via panel or remotely via app.

Outside the home you’re treated to a level, landscaped yard outfitted with Rain Bird sprinkler system (controlled via panel or remotely via app). Professionally placed low voltage uplighting accentuates the homes exterior during the night. Follow the charming paver pathway, landscape lighting, to the large back yard patio. This spot was designed for admiring the surrounding nature and enjoying supreme privacy. Just off the patio is another highlight of this home –the screened in porch. Prominently placed is a stone façade wood burning fireplace with a slate hearth . This space is both welcoming and impressive. Whether you’re snuggled up for a cozy fall fire, roasting s'mores or watching the fire glow on a rainy day, this is HOME.
