This custom-built estate in Charles County sits on 2 acres and is surrounded by trees for lots of privacy. The sprawling Cape Cod home is set back from the road and has great curb appeal, with a full brick facade, a front porch, a landscaped yard and a side-entry garage with an extended driveway.

The foyer welcomes you inside with soaring cathedral ceilings, a grand staircase and hardwood floors. The timeless kitchen includes cherry cabinetry, a 48-inch commercial-grade range, a wine station, granite countertops, an island and a long breakfast bar. There’s also an amazing walk-in pantry with floor-to-ceiling shelving.

The adjacent family room includes a lovely brick fireplace and offers access to the screened-in porch overlooking the backyard. The finished lower level also walks out to a brick patio in the backyard, a great place to grill up dinner this summer. The property also includes a small barn as well as a chicken coop. Wow!

The 5,798 sqft floor plan allows for two master suites on the main level. The primary bedroom is filled with natural light and the ensuite boasts dual sinks, plenty of storage, a classic claw-foot tub and a separate shower. The secondary bedroom suite would be a great spot for visiting in-laws. The perfect floor plan for the multi-generational family. And to make life simple this home also offers central vacuum.

The other guest rooms (one with an ensuite, too) occupy the upstairs, along with a hallway bathroom, another living room and a massive BONUS flex space/gameroom. The finished basement offers even more space, with a kitchen, bedroom and family room. Since it has a separate entrance, this level could be rented out or used as a private apartment for in-laws or guests.

Located in a quiet community in Charlotte Hall without an HOA that’s zoned to top-ranked schools.
