About This Home

As of July 2025

Introducing this Stunning Smart Home Retreat at 21405 Emerald Drive, Germantown, MD!
Welcome to this meticulously upgraded and smartly connected home, located in one of Germantown’s most desirable neighborhoods. From high-end finishes to advanced tech infrastructure, this home has been thoughtfully customized for comfort, convenience, and style.
Step inside to find extensive crown molding and wainscoting, all elegantly painted in high-gloss white, setting the tone for the solid craftsmanship throughout this spacious home. The top floor features solid antique bamboo flooring, while the main and basement levels are outfitted with Lifeproof luxury vinyl plank for durability and elegance. Plush premium Lifeproof carpet with a lifetime warranty adds comfort to the family room and stairs.
The chef’s kitchen is both beautiful and functional, boasting smart GE Profile dual ovens, a three-level GE smart dishwasher, new countertops, an upgraded sink, and a no-touch faucet.
The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a MinkaAir remote-controlled ceiling fan and a custom-built cedar walk-in closet, made from sustainable red cedar with brass rods and hardware. The luxurious primary bath showcases porcelain floors and walls, a 7-foot custom glass shower, BioBidet, and a UV germicidal light integrated into the bath fan.
The second-level laundry room features a large-capacity GE smart washer and dryer units, with the dryer offering a steam setting for quick de-wrinkling—all conveniently connected to an iPad for smart control.
Downstairs, the fully finished basement expands your living space with an additional bedroom and large walk-in closet, a spacious home gym/rec room with white cedar wall paneling, and a dedicated media room with specialized audiophile ceiling and wiring for a remote AV system. The computer/server room includes a professional 19” 42U Chatsworth rack, a 24-port CAT6 patch panel, and wired Ethernet to key rooms throughout the house—including bedrooms, living spaces, garage, and media room—ideal for gamers, streamers, or remote workers.
All major appliances except the fridge are smart-enabled, along with Smart HVAC, garage door and outside security cameras and lighting infrastructure throughout the home. The hot water heater and the HVAC were both replaced in 2023.
Step outside to your fully-fenced and gated backyard, recently stained on both sides for a fresh finish, with a locking gate on the deck for added security. Gardeners will love the 8x8 enclosed garden with blueberries and strawberries and outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the well-maintained deck, patio and spacious, thoughtfully landscaped yard.
This home is part of a welcoming HOA community that offers fantastic amenities including a neighborhood swimming pool, walking paths, and tot lots. Families will love the short walk to the in-neighborhood elementary school, making morning drop-offs a breeze. Just minutes from I-270, MARC train access, and key commuter routes, this location makes getting to Rockville, Bethesda, or Washington, D.C. simple and stress-free. Nearby shopping, dining, and entertainment options at Milestone Center, Wegmans, and Clarksburg Premium Outlets add even more convenience to everyday living.
This one-of-a-kind property offers an ideal blend of custom craftsmanship, advanced technology, and community convenience.
