Raised Ranch/Rambler

Five bedrooms and 3.5 baths, at the edge of the woods--a rural haven in suburbia, close to trains and DC! This lovely and unique home is situated on a large lot off the beaten track, and nestled on a picturesque 2.89 acres of land and surrounded by 4,000 acres of parkland (Seneca Creek State Park). The ample outdoor living spaces add to the overall magic of this property. From the front porch, step into the front door foyer into a spacious living area and open dining room with ample light. The kitchen has plenty of cabinet space, a calming view of the treed backyard, convenient pass-through to the dining room; and its own exit door to the wrap-around porch. A main-level master bedroom suite with full bath and walk-in closet; and an additional half bath and laundry round out the main level. Upstairs you will find a large hall bath with tub/shower flanked by two bedrooms. All the upstairs rooms have gorgeous dormer windows/nooks with treed views and abundant natural light! Down in the walk-out basement you will find a large recreation room with an inviting gas fireplace, a wet bar, mini-fridge, sink and ice-maker perfect for entertaining or relaxing. A third full bath in the basement means you can use the additional rooms however you need--as bedrooms, office, den, exercise room, you name it. When you step out onto the wraparound porch or deck and take in the nature around you, you will be struck by the tranquility of this home; and the many outdoor living spaces that add to the overall enjoyment of the property. In addition to the wraparound porch and deck, there is a walkout basement-level flagstone patio when you're really seeking a little peace from the rest of the household. Your nearest neighbor is a small working farm; farm-fresh eggs are a stroll away! The 3-car detached garage is insulated and has power as well as drop-down stairs for additional storage in its attic. The front yard is expansive and perfect for a fire-pit or a game of flag football, and the backyard is a tree-lover's paradise. The house has been freshly painted and is ready for your touches! The area is so convenient for access to Shady Grove metro stop on the red line, and nearby amenities like Kentlands, Washingtonian Center, Lakelands Park and Great Seneca State Park. A must see!
