12908 Riffle Ford Court
Darnestown, MD 20878




This lovely home sits nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac. As you enter the front door, you will immediately notice that it is immaculate and extremely well cared for. The first things that catch your eye are the beautiful wood floors in the living room and dining room and the slate floor in the entry foyer. There are wood floors throughout the first and second levels. Then you will notice how large and bright the rooms are. The floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room are simply elegant and add much light. The gourmet kitchen is newly remodeled with all new appliances, cabinets and granite and chopping block counters. The kitchen is custom designed for ease of cooking, and dining with family and friends. A large box bay window with window seat in the breakfast nook offers space for tranquil family meals while viewing the serenity and privacy of the lovely backyard. Off the kitchen is the laundry/mud room and new full bath equipped with a Euro style shower. Other first floor features include the beamed-ceiling family room with brick, wood-burning fireplace and library with built-in bookshelves.

The upper and lower levels are also very spacious. The bedrooms on the upper level are roomier than you will find in most other homes. The master bedroom, including full bath, is very private. It has four closets, two of which are walk-in, and one has extra storage behind. There are three other bedrooms with good-sized closets. Additionally, you will find another full ceramic tile bath in the hallway plus a large linen closet. The lower level walkout basement, although unfinished, is large enough to be finished into a good-sized recreation room or to be left unfinished for huge amounts of storage space. If you finish the main part of this level, there is partially excavated space that would be perfect for a workshop and storage area. And the hidden surprise in this lower level is the temperature controlled wine room.

Another plus to this lovely home, is the location in the executive community of Ridgefield, consisting of approximately 120 homes with a 24 acre park and lake for recreation. Behind this property you will find a path leading you to the lake and park with connecting trails to Seneca Creek State Park. The community civic association maintains this area and other common ground for $75/year voluntary dues. As you drive around the community you will see well-maintained homes on large lots and feel the friendliness that abounds. Visit the park and lake and picture yourself strolling or jogging - riding bikes or horses - fishing, or ice-skating. The Safeway shopping center, Quince Orchard center, and Kentlands are within minutes. Gaithersburg town center, as well as Lakeforest and Montgomery Malls are also within easy driving distance. This is the luxury of country living with easy access to the exciting cultural and employment opportunities in nearby Washington, D.C.
