Welcome to this sun-soaked home in bucolic Sandy Spring set amidst a half-acre+ lot on a cul de sac that backs to parkland! The stately home in this quiet and peaceful location offers a grand two-story foyer, an elegant oak staircase, and gleaming hardwood floors that flow throughout the formal areas and into the kitchen. Architectural columns define the entrances to the formal living room and dining room, each featuring Palladian windows and crown molding. The adjacent butler's pantry makes entertaining easy. An enormous two-story family room offers walls of windows and shares a double-sided gas fireplace with the conservatory and access to the spacious deck. The chef's kitchen, sure to impress, abounds with natural daylight and provides elegance, comfort, and style. Features include sleek granite counters, an island with a breakfast bar, a gas cooktop, 42-inch cherry cabinetry, stainless appliances, a planning center, and a walk-in pantry. The breakfast area, with tall transomed windows for glorious backyard views, has space for a huge table. A main-level flex room adjacent to a full bath can be a guest bedroom or a study. The secondary staircase from the family room leads to the upper level with four spacious bedrooms and an ample laundry room. A generous owners' retreat is a private oasis wrapped in windows, with a tray ceiling, walk-in closet space galore, and a beautiful spa-inspired bath. A fully finished lower level offers endless entertaining spaces, including an enormous recreation room, den, full bath, and a double-wide exit to the backyard. A big bonus is a generator to power almost everything you need and a lawn irrigation system to keep things green! Purchased in 2020, the prior owner had recently replaced the roof with a new architectural shingle roof and had re-paved the driveway in 2020 and current owners re-sealed in 2022! Two dog parks within the community within ball-throwing distance! The location is ideal - so close to 3 public schools, Good Counsel HS, Olney Theater, Adventure Park, OBGC athletic fields and the shops/dining/breweries of Olney/Brookeville and environs. Nearby golf and equestrian facilities. Good access to commuting routes for DC and Baltimore using the ICC/200/Georgia and New Hampshire Avenues, and Rt. 32 in nearby Clarksville.
