NEW ON MARKET! Please submit offers by Tuesday, February 24th at Noon. Start with the idea that something about this home will stick with you long after you see it. It might be the charm, the privacy, the view as one enters the house, the pool, the grounds, the creek, or the walnut paneled lower level that has hand forged iron works and a cozy stone front fireplace. One way or another don’t be surprised if you find yourself thinking about life at this private retreat located on the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Potomac. Lovingly cared for by the same owners for more than 45 years, the home and grounds reflect true pride of ownership, with custom details and quality craftsmanship throughout. Set on 5.6 wooded acres with a creek winding through the property, the home offers exceptional privacy with a stunning natural backdrop, enriched by abundant woodland gardens and a remarkable variety of azaleas, rhododendrons, dogwoods, hollies, ferns, and native wildflowers to name just a few of the cast members that create a year-round show. Mature landscaping and refined hardscaping create inviting outdoor living spaces, that are perfect for solitary reflection or large gatherings. The outdoor spaces include a screened porch, large patio spaces, a heated pool, outdoor fireplace, and stone retaining walls designed to accent areas of the yard while creating additional planting areas. Inside, the main level features a spacious formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace that flows into an elegant dining room. The eat-in kitchen is designed for everyday comfort and effortless entertaining. A screened porch off the dining room and kitchen extends the living space and captures views of the beautiful grounds. Down the hall, the main-level primary suite is filled with natural light from expansive windows and enjoys a peaceful, tree-lined backdrop. A second main-level bedroom with an ensuite bath provides flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath. A spacious attic provides convenient extra space. The lower level that walks out to the patio and pool and was remodeled with an eye to an earlier era by a craftsman who created this one of a kind space complete with walnut paneling, stone front wood-burning fireplace, cozy 2nd kitchen with a party sized dining area and comfortable family room area. The lower level has a full bath and direct access to the oversized two-car garage. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly special property in Potomac—where privacy, character, and timeless charm come together beautifully, just a short distance from Potomac Village, major commuter routes, shops, and dining.
