The wrap-around porch sets a charming tone, inviting you to enjoy the tranquility of the 2-acre property. The updated kitchen with quartz counters and stainless steel appliances is sure to be a focal point for both everyday meals and entertaining. The family room, complete with a wood-burning fireplace and French doors leading to the deck creates a cozy yet airy space for relaxation. The main level's layout is functional and versatile, featuring a separate office or den, ideal for those who work from home and a convenient main level laundry room with a large SS laundry tub. Architectural details like recessed lighting, moldings and chair railings add character and sophistication to the interior along with the gleaming hardwood floors on all three levels. Upstairs, the primary ensuite bedroom offers a retreat-like experience with its spacious layout and luxurious bathroom amenities, including a soaking tub, separate shower and double vanities. The convenient laundry chute is a practical feature that makes laundry tasks easier and more efficient. The additional bedrooms provide ample space for family or guests, ensuring a comfortable haven. The walkout lower level adds even more living space with a full bathroom, large recreation room, a separate office space and an additional area providing endless possibilities for customization to suit your lifestyle - mini kitchen, craft making, entertaining bar, etc. The convenience of an attached 2-car side load garage adds practicality and additional storage space. The long winding driveway not only adds to the aesthetic appeal but offers ample parking for guests. The expansive, flat level backyard transforms this property into an outdoor oasis for family gatherings and recreational activities. The highlight is the gorgeous pool promising endless hours of outdoor enjoyment and a refreshing escape during the warmer months while the outdoor grill sets the stage for al fresco dining and entertaining. The addition of a playhouse adds an element of whimsy for children and the barn or shed offers practical storage solutions for outdoor equipment and tools. Ideally located between two major cities - Baltimore and Washington, D. C. - offering amenities and opportunities of both. The home is within minutes of prominent employers such as NSA, APL, Northrup Grumman and Goddard as well as easy commuting with the nearby Laurel MARC train. There are abundant outdoor recreation areas like Columbia, Patuxent Rocky Gorge, Triadelphia Reservoir or Brighton Dam providing opportunities for activities such as hiking, cycling, kayaking, fishing, hunting and more. Also within close proximity is Maple Lawn with the availability of shopping, dining and entertainment venues. Overall, this home offers a perfect blend of modern amenities and classic charm!
