| More Information (Hide Summary) |
Arriving at this traditional colonial in the heart of Potomac hunt country is breathtaking. Located in a leafy neighborhood of stately homes, this all brick colonial is perfectly sited on nearly three lush acres. The current owners made significant investments to rebuild the drive, re-grade the property’s lot and plant numerous specimen trees. The result is astounding. Carefully positioned evergreens provide year-round privacy from neighboring homes that perfectly frame the home on its approach. The back yard is simply paradise. The back deck with brick columns and wrought-iron railings overlook a lush green turf accented with stately evergreens and flowering trees. Already perfect for outdoor entertainment, this space would easily accommodate a pool, tennis courts and more. Rarely does a lot of this caliber become available for purchase.
The only distraction from the beauty of the lot is the home itself. This classic colonial has a grand presence with all-brick construction, dormers and pavilion-hipped cedar shake roof. Stepping inside, guests are greeted by an elegant foyer with oak staircase, slate tile, three piece dentil moulding and windowpane chair molding. Three coat closets and a powder room are located off the foyer. The library to the left features rich oak hardwood floors, custom drapery, extensive mouldings, built-in bookshelves and a wet bar. The heart of this home may well be the family room. Featuring random peg hardwood flooring, a brick fireplace with adjacent built-in bookshelves and an oversized bay window overlooking the sumptuous back yard, this warm space invites gatherings and gracious entertaining. The mudroom and laundry area have brick tile flooring and are conveniently located between the family room and the attached two-car garage. The family room looks into the breakfast room and also has convenient access to the upper levels through a back staircase.
The formal rooms are always ready for memorable entertaining. The centerpiece of the spacious living room is a wood-burning fireplace framed by a pair of custom built-in bookshelves capped with classic half-round mouldings. Heavy three-piece dentil crown mouldings, hardwood flooring and floor-to-ceiling windows complete this elegant space. The dining room is reached through a wide doorway and features double floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the back lot, understated chandelier, hardwood flooring and custom crown and chair rail moulding.
You’ll love the space in the kitchen and breakfast area. Cherry cabinets with a walnut finish, gleaming granite countertops with tile backsplash, separate pantry and large ceramic tile flooring are amenities to be enjoyed every day. Appliances include a Fisher & Paykel ceramic cook top, double oven, dishwasher and trash compactor. The back yard is always on display in the breakfast area through Pella sliding glass doors that lead to the back deck.
Four bedrooms are located on the second level. The master redefines ‘spacious’ and features a large main room with double closets and a separate sitting area with three additional double closets. The master bath features a dressing area, two vanities, two closets, separate soaking tub, standup shower and toilet area. Custom drapery, soft colors and plush carpet finish this retreat. Three other bedrooms on this level features large closets and oak hardwood flooring. The guest bedroom has a private bath and linen closet. The finished attic is perfect for so many uses – an extravagant bedroom, office, exercise or craft room – you decide. An oversized dormer has the best view in the house of the back lot.
The lower level is all about having fun. This is a bright space with a complete kitchen with stove, refrigerator and dishwasher. Natural light through sliding glass doors and an oversized window fill the entire space in natural light. The main area features parquet wood flooring, a brick fireplace and recessed lighting. A separate office with closet and recessed lighting look onto the main area. The lower level also features a full bath, craft/utility room and unfinished storage.
The pride of ownership is evident throughout this exceptional property. The lot, immaculate condition and fantastic space make this an incredible value in Potomac. Everything is perfect. The only thing missing is so, so schedule your private showing today.
