Magnificent colonial perfectly perched on a 2-acre lot with a circular driveway and sparkling pool with a retractable cover! Expertly crafted by master builder John DuFief Sr., this classic New England-styled home showcases his fine quality of construction and meticulous eye for detail. Set on an idyllic and private lot with sprawling lawns and ample parking; this home is perfect for indoor and outdoor entertaining! The gracious stone foyer with a powder room opens to the formal living room, dining room, and warm family room. The recently remodeled kitchen features custom cabinetry, stone tops, tile backsplash, stainless Miele, SubZero, and Thermador appliances, a beautiful butlers' pantry, and a sunny breakfast room overlooking the pool with a retractable autocover. A mud room/laundry room is adjacent to the butlers' pantry and provides access to the oversized 3-car side load garage. The family room is stunning, with a coffered ceiling, gas fireplace, and French doors to the awning-covered Trex deck. The richly appointed library with bookcases, a bar sink, another gas fireplace, and French doors to the deck completes the main level. The upper level features four roomy bedrooms, three full baths, hardwood floors throughout, and a new en suite bath. The primary suite has a wood-burning fireplace, French doors to a serene screened porch overlooking the pool, a dressing area with two walk-in closets, and a lovely bath with a dual sink vanity, soaking tub, and private commode and stall shower. A cedar closet & large linen closet finish this floor. The daylight walkout lower level has a guest room with a full bath, wet bar area, enormous rec room with fireplace, bonus space/game room area, ample storage, and French doors to the covered stone patio. This superlative custom home is near Glenstone Museum and enjoys the amenities of Potomac Village, nearby Shady Grove Hospital, Traville Gateway, and several area golf courses. New since October: all chimneys were re-lined (6 flues), lots of fresh paint, refinished hardwood floors on main/upper levels, new LL bath & engineered floors on the lower level, and recent clear well/septic/termite & radon system. This home is pristine and ready to welcome you!
