A rare opportunity in highly sought-after Highland, Maryland! Offered for the first time by its original owner, this custom-built estate is beautifully situated on 3.5 private acres surrounded by nature, offering an exceptional combination of space, privacy, and incredible indoor-outdoor living. From the moment you enter the grand foyer, you’ll appreciate the thoughtful layout and timeless character of this special home. The main level features a gracious formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace and an elegant formal dining room highlighted by a large bay window that fills the space with natural light. A private study/library just off the foyer creates the perfect setting for a home office or quiet retreat. At the heart of the home is a dream kitchen designed for gathering and entertaining, complete with stainless steel appliances, an oversized center island, butler’s pantry, and a sun-filled morning room. Step directly from the morning room onto the expansive screened porch, where skylights bring in beautiful natural light and peaceful views stretch across the backyard and pool. Just off the kitchen, the spacious family room offers a cozy gas fireplace and plenty of room to gather. Upstairs, the impressive owner’s suite is truly a retreat of its own, featuring dual walk-in closets, private in-suite laundry, and a beautifully updated luxury bath with separate vanities, an oversized shower, jetted soaking tub, and private water closet. Three additional generously sized bedrooms and a beautifully updated hall bath complete the upper level. The finished lower level was made for entertaining, with an expansive recreation room and custom-built bar, plus a large workshop and additional powder room. And then there’s the backyard—your own private resort! Spend summer days around the large heated in-ground swimming pool, entertain guests from the private cabana/pool house, or simply enjoy the peace and serenity that comes with 3.5 acres surrounded by nature.
