First time offered on the market! Current owners built this delightful home. Location. Location! Location!! Beautifully situated on a no-through-traffic street, this lovely home offers the convenience of being only minutes from D.C. and Annapolis, shopping, community amenities and more, yet with the peace and quiet afforded by private treed lands behind the property. A low-maintenance, vinyl picket fence provides a safe, but friendly gated outdoor space out front. This adorable Cape Cod is far larger than it looks, boasting over 2700 square feet of finished space according to a recent appraisal. Watch the wildlife from the secluded rear deck or watch the world go by from the sitting porch on the street side. When it's time to head inside, you'll enjoy the blended floorplan, offering the best of both contemporary and traditional spaces. The kitchen is truly the heart of this home and it's beautifully connected to the living spaces. There's a cozy breakfast area, and a large, flexible adjoining space for casual dining or gathering by the brick woodburning fireplace. The exposed, hand-hewn beams and rustic mantle will call to mind simpler times. The first floor laundry/mudroom features a powder room and pantry. The formal living room offers ample space for flexible furniture configurations, making entertaining a delight, no matter what your style. Another fireplace adds classic ambiance. Glass panel doors lead out to the rear deck, allowing guests to flow in and out with ease. The current owners repurposed the formal dining room into an office, but the space could easily be used as a first floor sleeping room, play room or parlor. The impressive entry features hardwood flooring and stairs that angle gracefully toward the upper level. The master suite features multiple closets, double sinks and a private shower and toilet space. Opposite the master, a huge second bedroom awaits. Divided by half walls, this wonderful room has great light due to many windows and a skylight. This space is big enough to share! The back bedroom features a lovely view of the forest. The deck and property are beautifully lit for round-the-clock enjoyment of nature's beauty. The oversized, saltbox-style shop is a craftsperson's dream, with ample light and power and lots of room for tools and toys. There's even a fantastic finished space on the second level.
