Stately oaks greet you on the
tree lined driveway and the charming front porch welcomes you
to this
beautiful center hall colonial where character abounds. Immaculate
and cared for with perfection, you will fall in love with all the
wonderful features this home has to offer you, starting with the
slate foyer and custom-made acorn wood banister. On the right is
an elegant formal living room that is bathed in natural light by
the four floor to ceiling windows. Just beyond is a fabulous office
or main level bedroom with it’s own stunning full ceramic
tile bath. On the left of the foyer is the formal dining room with
crown and chair molding adjoining the marvelous beamed ceiling
family room. This room is so spacious and perfect to meet all your
family and guest needs. It boasts a full wall of built-in book
shelves and storage cabinets plus a computer workstation. In addition
the raised hearth brick fireplace has been converted to gas for ease
of use. There is a wet bar and sliding glass doors to the deck. The
family room joins
the gourmet working kitchen with
ceramic tile floor. The piece-de resistance is the lovely morning
room surrounded by windows and sliding doors to the deck. Imagine
the ease of living and the joy of entertaining
in this lovely home with such a super floor plan.


The second level has three wonderfully large bedrooms with ample
closet space plus a lovely spacious master bedroom suite with two
closets, a dressing area with a sink in addition to a full bath.
The lower level has a good-sized recreation room plus a very large
storage/work room which could easily be finished to enlarge the recreation
room or for additional rooms, if you so desired. In addition there
is a crawl space for storage and an extra large two car garage.

Outside, the near 2/3 acre lot has
lovely mature trees and plantings plus a very large deck for
hours of enjoyment. There
is also a
storage shed for all your gardening needs.
All in all, this beautiful home
is so special. From the superb maintenance and lovely amenities
to the
fabulous
floor plan, with the advantage
of a main level bedroom that is so needed in today’s life style,
this home stands out from all the rest. In addition, the location
is excellent. This is the luxury of country with the conveniences
of the city nearby. The Safeway shopping center and Quince Orchard
centers are only about a mile, Kentlands is just couple of miles
and Gaithersburg is about five miles away. In addition, Lakeforest
