Unique opportunity in Potomac! You don't see homes like this one come on the market very often! Fabulous location within sought-after Falls Orchard with WALKABILITY to Park Potomac, Potomac Woods Swim Club, Ritchie Park Elementary, Hadleys Park, and endless walking/biking paths. Sited on half-acre lot, and surrounded by lush gardens and beautiful open yard space, this home has been thoughtfully renovated and twice expanded by the current owner. The main level features a welcoming foyer that flows into a large living room with an expansive picture window. The family room is located just behind the living room and the two spaces are connected through glass french doors which allows for excellent flow through the living areas. A two-story addition on the left side of the property created a gorgeous office/observatory adjacent to the living room that overlooks the garden and is surrounded by large windows, flooding the space with natural light. The second addition to the home was a spacious sunroom off the back of the property that can be completely opened up and act like a screen porch during the season but is fully enclosed and heated/cooled for year-round use. The spacious dining room features custom moldings and another large picture window. The gorgeous eat-in kitchen, which was just renovated, offers white solid wood cabinetry with added pantry and desk space, stunning quartz countertops, upgraded appliances, and a custom backsplash. With views of the rear yard and access to the expansive custom deck, the kitchen continues the theme of the home which is focused on connecting the outdoor and interior spaces. Rounding out the main level is a newly updated powder room and a large laundry/storage closet. Upstairs is a luxurious primary bedroom suite, three additional secondary bedrooms, and two hall bathrooms. The two-story addition that added the office/conservatory below, created an expansive primary bathroom on the second level. The bath is beautifully finished with a large double vanity with tons of storage, a custom glass-enclosed shower, and an oversized soaking tub. The bathroom expansion allowed the primary suite to be reconfigured which added a new dressing/closet area. All three secondary bedrooms are spacious and having two updated hall baths is a huge bonus. The lower level offers a rec room space in addition to a bonus room that the current owners used as a guest bedroom or additional office throughout the years. There is a mud room with access to the oversized two-car garage, a cedar closet, and additional storage areas on this level. Outside, this gorgeous corner lot stands out among the neighbors. The enormous "great lawn" around the front and side of the home offers space for activities and is surrounded by lush plantings and a decorative fence. The organically shaped deck, which is accessed from either the sunroom or kitchen, is unlike anything else you have seen. It meanders its way around the house offering numerous unique vantage points to look over the rear garden. Step down from the deck and follow the paths to the numerous beautiful vignettes created throughout the garden and rear yard area. Among all the existing beauty in the rear yard is plenty of open space to add a playground area and other special features and make it your own. There is a gate from the yard to the driveway in addition to a storage shed and additional parking area. This home has been lovingly maintained by the current owner. Upgrades include new siding and roof in 2018, updated windows and door throughout, a 20kw whole-house generator, and extensive interior and exterior updates and renovations over the years, This is a must-see! Call JT Burton or Aaron Jeweler with any questions. *Estimated finished SF is based on a past appraisal provided by owner. Due to expansions, the county tax record is not accurate even though the expansions were permitted. Estimated SF is for general information purposes only*

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
