A rare opportunity to own a beautiful home in the Town of Washington Grove! The Town's first mayor referred poetically to Washington Grove as "a town within a forest, an oasis of tranquility and a rustic jewel in the diadem of the great free state of Maryland." This meticulously maintained property was built in 1997. In comparison to other properties in the Town, it has modern features like full ceiling heights on all three levels. The circular driveway and the landscaping with many perennial plants provide a picturesque framing to this beautiful home. Before offering the house for sale, the owner installed a new 50-year roof in October 2019. It also features a new kitchen, remodeled bathrooms, a soapstone woodstove in the family room that can provide heat to most of the house, fresh interior paint, refinished gleaming wood floors, and new carpets in the bedrooms. The basement has, for the last 20 years, been the workshop for one of this country's best violin makers. It is now a blank canvas, ready for your ideas. Washington Grove is located north-east of the City of Rockville and about two miles from Shady Grove Metro, the end station on the red line and with parking facilities that will facilitate your commute to other parts of the Greater Capital Area. It also has its own MARC Train Station. The Town is an Oasis in itself with almost 100 acres of parkland and a great swimming lake. It offers a wide variety of community events, including Music Weekend, the 4th of July parade, and a three-day Labor Day celebration. McCathran Hall, the beautiful octagonal town auditorium, is often the place where towners gather for theater, dance, and music performances.
