The ride to this exceptional estate is as breathtaking as the property itself. The traffic of Darnestown Rd transitions into a calmer pace along Travilah Rd, where, after a few miles, a traffic circle guides you onto a pair of 2-lane, tree-lined roads where the rolling hills and falling leaves transport you into the feeling of a weekend retreat. Near the end of a private cul-de-sac, you will find this expanded colonial home, situated on a beautiful 2-acre lot.
Step inside to the open entrance level, where a spacious living and dining space provides a central gathering hub. Newly refinished hardwood floors, recessed lighting, warm wood-trimmed windows, a floor-to-ceiling built-in entertainment center, a striking main staircase, and a cozy wood-burning fireplace anchor this grand room. To the right, the light-filled island kitchen is crafted for connection, bathed in sunlight from large front bay windows. Designed for both casual morning routines and effortless hosting, it boasts extensive cabinetry and shelf space, premium stainless steel appliances, modern countertops, stylish tile backsplashes, a custom wine rack, a dedicated wine refrigerator, and a sunny breakfast nook with direct access to the rear patio.
The home's main level offers flexible layouts for complete single-story living. Across the central space, a bright home office overlooks the manicured front lawn, while a main-level bedroom with an adjacent full bathroom completes the left wing. On the opposite side, a discreet corner powder room and a dedicated laundry area featuring high-end LG appliances provide convenient access to both the attached garage and a second staircase leading upstairs.
Ascend this sky-lit side staircase to an upper level designed for tranquility. A carpeted sitting room offers a peaceful retreat for relaxation, reading, or dressing, seamlessly connecting to an extraordinary walk-through wardrobe fitted with dark wood cabinetry and custom shelving providing an elevated space for your clothes and your morning routine. On the other side of this dressing sanctuary lies the primary suite, with rich hardwood floors and an expansive skylit en-suite bathroom featuring a deep soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual individual vanities. Across the hall, near the main staircase, three additional generously proportioned bedrooms share a stylish full bathroom.
The expansive living areas continue in the fully finished walk-out lower level, where large windows and patio doors flood the family room with natural light. Upgraded luxury vinyl plank flooring and an integrated sound system set the stage for movie nights or casual gatherings. A freshly carpeted recreation room doubles as a private guest suite, complemented by a fourth full bathroom with a walk-in shower.
Outside, the two-acre grounds rival the interior in scale and luxury. Step through the lower-level walk-out doors into a resort-style, heated, curved in-ground pool framed by stately stone and metal fencing, mature trees, and an elegant pergola, creating a private oasis for summer lounging. The two-zone Gramophone exterior sound system provides a unified soundscape as you transition from the pool up the flagstone steps to an expansive rear patio, complete with ambient string lights, a soothing waterfall feature, and a custom fire pit. Beyond the patio, the lush grounds accommodate every age and lifestyle, with a playset for hours of outdoor recreation and a versatile workshop shed for hobbies, storage, or creative projects.
Offering an unmatched blend of privacy, natural beauty, and everyday convenience, this magnificent estate sits directly across from the greenscape and streams of Muddy Branch Park. Enjoy close proximity to boating, golfing, hiking, and biking along the Potomac River corridor, all while remaining less than 20 minutes from the premier shopping, dining, and entertainment of downtown Gaithersburg and access to the broader region via I-270.
