Welcome to this stunning contemporary-style home located in the highly sought-after Orchard Hills community in North Potomac. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be charmed by the beautifully landscaped front yard, featuring a lush green lawn, colorful flower beds, and a blossoming cherry tree. Inside, rich cherry wood floors run throughout the main level, setting a warm and elegant tone. The spacious kitchen is a true showstopper, featuring eye-catching two-tone cabinetry, granite countertops, classic white subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances—including a new microwave and dishwasher (2025) and a French-door refrigerator (2021). A sun-filled breakfast area with large arched windows fills the space with natural light, while stylish gold fixtures above the island and dining table add a modern, upscale feel. The vaulted ceiling enhances the openness and airiness of the kitchen space. Adjacent to the kitchen is a bright, open dining and living room with a glass slider that leads to a large deck, flanked by gardens on both sides —perfect for entertaining or simply relaxing. The cozy family room features a gas fireplace, access to a half bath (which can be converted to a full bath), a generously sized bedroom, a laundry closet, and a direct walkout to the backyard and deck. Hardwood stairs lead to upstairs with 4 spacious bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The brand-new carpet adds a fresh touch. The primary suite is truly impressive, offering a large sitting area, two closets (including a walk-in), and a luxurious en-suite bath with a dual-sink vanity, jetted soaking tub, skylight, and a custom frameless glass shower. The fully finished basement offers incredible flexibility with its own private entrance, a large rec room, a family area, a kitchenette, its own laundry, a guest bedroom, a full bath, and a dedicated storage/utility room. Outside, enjoy a level, fenced backyard with a large deck, a plants nursery room, gardening areas, a fruit-producing persimmon tree, and a storage shed. The attached 2-car garage includes a newer garage door (2017). Recent upgrades also include a brand new gas furnace (2025), water heater (2024), a 50-year architectural shingle roof (2021), Siding replacement (2005), bathrooms renovation (2018), cherry wood floors (2015), LVP floors in basement (2024), and double-pane replacement windows with a lifetime warranty (2015). To further protect your investment, the home is equipped with a buried underground drainage system, designed to direct water away from the foundation using strategically placed pipes—enhancing the home’s structural integrity and keeping the yard dry. This unbeatable location is walking distance to the elementary, middle, and high schools, as well as the Kentlands shops, restaurants, and more. You’re just a short drive from Rio, Crown, ICC 200, and I-495—offering the perfect blend of country-style living with close-in convenience. This is truly a MUST-SEE home—schedule your visit today!
