Description
This pristine, quintessential home is one of Potomac's finest with over 8,500 finished SF of living space on three glorious levels - set on a lush, picturesque half-acre graced with mature landscaping. The facade's hardscaping adds to the beauty and curb appeal! The 6-bedroom, 8-bath home boasts an open main-level floor plan with spaces flowing effortlessly from room to room; a fabulous four-season porch that opens onto a flagstone patio and yard; and a finished lower level complete with an in-law or nanny suite, a fully equipped home theater, a kitchenette and a den with one of the home's 5 gas fireplaces. The classic Frank Bell home features 10-foot ceilings, wide entry and hallways, extensive molding and built-ins, as well as other exquisite architectural details and finishes that add elegance and comfort to every room. The 2007 home was updated five years ago with refinished walnut floors; fresh paint; and an upgraded kitchen that now features gleaming Quartz countertops and Miele appliances with a sub zero refrigerator and new polished nickel hardware throughout. A welcoming front porch (with space for 6 large rocking chairs!) greets visitors to the home. Inside, the large two-story foyer has soaring ceilings, a beautiful staircase and wide-plank walnut flooring that extends throughout the main & upper levels. To the right, the living room, or parlor, features crown molding, a fireplace and is filled with lots of natural light thanks to the windows lining the walls. The formal dining room sits to the entry's left and boasts extensive molding including chair rail & wainscoting, and a quad of front windows looking out to the porch. A study off the front hall has French doors and a warm feel with a gas fireplace flanked by built-in bookcases, as well as a triple-paned window. A butler's pantry with glass-front cabinets sits off a short hall connecting the dining room and kitchen. A huge Quartz-topped center island, white cabinetry and Miele appliances including double wall ovens and a 6-burner gas stove equip the gourmet kitchen, which also features a walk-in pantry, plenty of planning and storage space, and an over-the-sink window. The attached breakfast room is bright & airy with windows and glass sliders along the walls. The left sliding doors access the expansive flagstone patio that includes a covered area; the other set of sliders open onto the porch with recessed lights and an overhead fan. This porch can be screened-in during the warmer months to enjoy those gentle breezes. The lush backyard is leveled and ideal for a future pool should the new owners desire! The kitchen flows into the great room, which lives up to its name with high ceilings, another gas fireplace flanked by windows, a wall of built-ins, and dual sets of glass doors to the rear porch. A large mudroom on the other side of this level has a built-in bench unit for coats and shoes, and contains a second half-bath with a granite-top vanity, a walk-in closet and access to the attached 4-car tandem garage. A second exit door here leads back to the front porch & driveway. A powder room with a custom vanity off the entry hallway, as well as a secondary staircase to the lower level round out this expansive level.
