Framed by a gracious covered porch with Tuscan columns, lush landscaping, and a charming stone and slate patio, the home offers warmth, privacy, and an elevated lifestyle from the moment you arrive.
Step through the front door into a grand two-story foyer with soaring ceilings, a sweeping staircase, and sun-drenched interiors that feel both airy and inviting. Gleaming hardwood floors span the main level, while custom trim work and architectural columns add richness and refinement throughout.

The kitchen flows seamlessly into the dramatic two-story family room with Palladian windows and a cozy gas fireplace, creating the ideal backdrop for everyday living, entertaining, or quiet evenings at home.
The outdoor spaces feel like a private retreat. Just steps from scenic walking trails and tranquil Watkins Pond, the backyard invites peaceful morning coffee, devotional time, alfresco dining, or sunset toasts surrounded by nature.
The flexible floor plan offers the versatility modern buyers crave, including a sought-after main-level primary suite complete with oversized walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath. Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious ensuite bedroom with its own walk-in closet, two additional oversized bedrooms, and a versatile loft/library space ideal for a second office, study lounge, media area, or reading retreat.
The fully finished lower level expands the home’s functionality even further with two guest rooms, a large recreation room, cedar closet, bar area, storage, and abundant space for entertaining, multigenerational living, fitness, hobbies, or extended stays.
Thoughtfully maintained and updated, the home features a newer roof replaced in 2020, energy-conserving solar panels for enhanced efficiency and long-term savings, dual HVAC systems, newer water heater, and sump pump, offering comfort and peace of mind for years to come.
Located in one of Rockville’s most beloved and walkable communities, residents enjoy access to pools, parks, trails, shops, restaurants, grocery stores, postal services, and a neighborhood shuttle to Shady Grove Metro. With quick access to I-270, ICC-200, I-495 commuting to Bethesda, Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, and major airports is remarkably convenient.
This is more than a home, it is a lifestyle of elegance, comfort, community, and connection.
