Property Description
Set on 2 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds in the heart of Darnestown, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 5-bath residence offers over 5,190 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space rare scale, privacy, and quality in one of Montgomery County's most coveted communities. Minutes from Seneca Creek State Park and its miles of trails, yet with easy access to I-270 and the shops and dining of Quince Orchard, the location strikes a balance that's genuinely hard to find Families gain access to Montgomery County's highly regarded public schools without sacrificing the elbow room and serenity that define this neighborhood. The home itself has been substantially expanded and upgraded. At its center is a chef's kitchen with abundant custom cabinetry, granite countertops, premium stainless appliances, double wall ovens, and an oversized breakfast bar all open to a spectacular great room addition with floor-to-ceiling windows, skylights, automatic blinds, and a gas fireplace. This sun-drenched space frames sweeping backyard views and comfortably accommodates both everyday living and large-scale entertaining. The upper-level owner's suite, part of the thoughtfully designed addition, is a true retreat: custom built-ins, dual walk-in closets, and a spa bath with soaking tub and separate steam shower. Heated floors grace three bathrooms throughout the home. Hardwood floors and a private home office anchor the main level. The fully finished lower level adds significant versatility a large recreation room with wood stove, a brand-new full bath, a flexible bonus room ideal as a gym or guest suite, and a dedicated workshop. For the buyer who thinks about the long term, the mechanical profile is equally impressive: geothermal two-zone HVAC with backup (among the most energy-efficient systems available), a newer roof, newer windows, and a three-car side-load garage. Indoor workshop, unusual for a luxury home. Outdoors, a large shed and dedicated vegetable garden round out a property that's as functional as it is beautiful. Homes at this size, quality level, and price point rarely come available in Darnestown. This is not a compromise it's a destination.
