Description

Prepare to be enchanted from the moment you arrive...how do you begin to describe the exceptional construction quality of a home like this? A home that won the Maryland Building Industry- Award of Excellence- for custom construction. The level of attention to detail is nearly impossible to capture in words-it simply has to be experienced to be believed. And beyond the home itself, this beauty is nestled within the coveted community of Merry-Go-Round Farm - a setting defined by rolling fields, preserved natural landscapes, and a true sense of pastoral serenity. A sense of community envelopes you with Fourth of July activities, a festive Hallowe'en celebration and so much more, cherished traditions bringing everyone together, creating bonds that make this neighborhood feel more like family than simply a place to live. Here, horses graze in wide-open pastures, neighbors enjoy miles of trails , and the equestrian center continues the timeless charm of the Potomac hunt country. From the handsome exterior stone and stucco finish to copper gutters and a slate roof, architectural beauty is on display at every turn. The rear of the home is as attractive as the front! Inside, the show-stopping eat-in Gourmet Kitchen truly feels like the heart of the home. A generous center island topped with beveled granite, high-end stainless steel appliances and abundant Decora cabinetry provide both elegance and function. The field stone gas fireplace next to the eating area adds warmth and ambiance, while the private year round porch invites you to relax in a tranquil, tree-lined sanctuary. The main level reflects a consistent focus on quality and comfort. From the marble and wood inlay floors of the foyer, to the soaring two-story Family Room with a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, every space is thoughtfully designed. Front and back staircases, substantial crown and base moldings, a butler's pantry, and a spacious mudroom with a wall of built-ins further elevate your daily living. Upstairs, the sumptuous Primary Suite is a true retreat. With a vaulted ceiling, private reading room and a huge walk-in closet, it is both gracious and intimate. Four generously proportioned bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bath, and a smartly designed laundry room complete the upper level. Oh! Don't miss the outdoor deck where you can escape to the treetops. The daylight, walk-out Lower Level offers endless flexibility with a sprawling recreation room, an exercise room, a private bedroom/au pair suite with full bath plus additional bonus space to create a media room or wine cellar as you desire. As throughout the rest of the home, the finishes are of the highest quality, with wonderful ceiling heights and an abundance of space. The rear yard with a flagstone terrace and tall, towering trees backs to greenspace and, unlike many homes in Merry-Go-Round, can accommodate an inground pool if that is on your wish list. This residence is more than just a home - it's a statement of craftsmanship, livability and timeless design. A property of this caliber, with such an uncompromising level of finish, simply cannot be recreated in today's market at this price. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a home that enchants, inspires, and elevates your everyday living - make it yours today!
