You are about to see one of the loveliest homes in the area, with so many wonderful custom details that it stands out above the rest. The charming exterior of this home does not give an indication to the size of the interior. This home is quite large with over three thousand square feet and a unique floor plan that allows for comfortable living for any size family. A small family could use just the first floor bedrooms and save the second floor for guest or studio rooms. A larger family could use all the bedrooms on both floors and an extended family would have sufficient rooms for all ages to be comfortable and have their own private space.

In addition to the spaciousness of this home, another special attribute is the special custom features that have been added. Many moldings and doors are natural clear wood. While these could easily be painted, the natural wood shows the top grade wood used and the additional detail. Additionally, the doors are solid wood. These are extremely pricey features. Another amenity is the beautiful wood floors on both the first and second levels. The main level has rarely seen narrow board oak and the second level has the extra feature of pegged flooring.

On the main level a very large foyer leads into a gracious living room on the left adjoining the separate banquet-sized dining room. The inviting country kitchen is across the back of the house for a fabulous view of the rolling backyard with entries into both the dining room and family room. Straight ahead of the foyer is the comfortable family room with full wall brick fireplace. All these rooms are very spacious. On the right of the foyer is the bedroom and bathroom wing. Immediately on the right is a new powder room. Further down the hallway are three bedrooms and two full baths. The largest bedroom is the master with a full bath en-suite. These owners have been using one of these bedrooms as a library and the other as a guest room.

On the second level, you will be astounded by the size of the rooms and all the built-in closets with hanging and shelf space. All this work is priceless
because it was crafted with love by the very talented owner, who has also built furniture and clocks. There is another full tile bath on this level.

The huge lower level is mostly unfinished, has a tile floor, an exit to the outside and is absolutely spotless. There is a half bath, two storage closets and a utility room. A large room is separated by a door because that is where the owner built and displayed his clocks.

The amenities keep on going. The two car garage is one of the biggest I have ever seen. In addition the driveway has an extra parking pad. This beautiful property is actually two lots. Lot A has the house lot B is an outlot so cannot be built on. And last but certainly not least is the storage shed with studio on top. What a wonderful play house or artist room! It has electricity and heat so could be used year-round. I cannot imagine that you could find another home of this size, in this wonderful location, as well cared for and with all these amenities, for this price.

Located in the executive community of Ridgefield, gives you the added advantage of a friendly neighborhood with approximately 120 lovely well-maintained large homes on large lots and a 24 acre park and lake for recreation. The community civic association maintains this area and other common ground for $75/year voluntary dues. Visit the park and lake and picture yourself strolling or jogging – riding bikes or horses – fishing, boating or ice-skating. This is the luxury of country with the conveniences of the city nearby. The Safeway shopping center is just about a mile, Quince Orchard centers are a mile and a half, Kentlands is just a couple of miles and Gaithersburg is about six miles away. Lakeforest, White Flint and Montgomery Malls are not far. Metro is easily accessible via the Great Seneca Highway and I 370 and I 270 is just a few miles away. The great employment and entertainment available in DC is not far.
