This enclave of 16 newer homes (1991) in the Courts of Democracy is tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac. These are fee simple homes and there is no HOA. This Nantucket style colonial has a welcoming front porch and opens to a light filled two story entry foyer that sets the tone for the drama and elegance of the rest of the home. The living room with it vaulted ceiling, the oversized formal dining room and butler's pantry, and the family room give you space in all of the right places. The recently renovated gourmet kitchen features granite, stainless appliances and ample counter and cabinet space. And the breakfast area opens to the deck. Upstairs is a dramatic primary suite with vaulted ceilings, two walk-in closets, and a spacious bath with two vanities and a separate tub and shower.

And did I mention the mudroom and 2 car garage on the main level? Conveniently located near Cabin John Mall, Cabin John Park and Skating, Montgomery Mall and an abundance of swim tennis and recreational parks; the location is ideal. This property offers the perfect combination of elegance, functionality and convenience.
