• Remarks Public: Photos to be uploaded by Wednesday June 4th, 2025. Prepare to be impressed with this lovingly maintained home of almost 30 years by one family. The home has four generously sized bedrooms, the bathrooms have been updated and the kitchen is truly the heart of the home. It is bright, welcoming and set up for in-home dining and entertaining. There is a fireplace with a custom tile threshold in the den which is open to the kitchen. The two car garage is oversized and offers a rarity in that it has natural light. The home offers two (2) circular flows on the main floor which is perfect for entertaining. A convenienient powder room, dining room and bonus room round out the main floor. The lower level offers a true walkout with abundant natural light and this well sized, beautifully finished space is perfect for family game or movie nights. The oversized laundry room is perfect for crafting, sewing or pursing your artistic endeavors. It is so oversized that it could be sectioned off into another room enjoying natural light. The gardens are lovely and the home sits majestically on its landscaped lot. This is one of the largest lots in the neighborhood and the rear woods offer you the opportunity to enjoy privacy, wildlife and serenity. The star of the property is the gorgeous gazebo that was constructed in 2022. It is perfect as an escape. It is screened with ample power /electricity and has been used as a home office during work from home periods. The oversized deck has been professionally upgraded and reinforced and you can have all of your friends over for a barbecue. The following are words from the current owners: "We have lived here for 29 years, and our home is a place we love for all the wonderful qualities of the house, the lovely, welcoming, and friendly Candlewood Park neighborhood, and the strong sense of community that exists among our neighbors. While at home, we take pleasure in the gathering of family and friends in our spacious home, on our expansive deck, or in our screened-in gazebo, where we frequently have our meals as we enjoy listening to the birds and other sounds of nature that abound in the lovely wooded lot behind our home. Our close proximity to the peaceful beauty of Lake Needwood (a short distance away) and Lake Frank provide frequent opportunities to enjoy the beauty of nature throughout the seasons. Candlewood Park is also a convenient place to live as we are within nearby proximity to the Shady Grove Metro and have nearby access to major arteries such as I-270 and the Intercounty Connector. We are also a short drive to two supermarkets and abundant shopping. Our children have benefited greatly from the wonderful teachers, engaging curriculum and activities, and active PTAs of Candlewood Elementary School (4 blocks away), Shady Grove Middle School, and Magruder High School. Best of all, we love the sense of community where many of our neighbors have lived for decades, and the strong friendships we and our children have made as we’ve strolled through the neighborhood, watched our families grow up together, and enjoyed backyard neighborhood barbecues, potluck dinners and other gatherings that have been a treasured part of our experience living in this community."
