About this home
Welcome to a rarely available, private, and stunning oasis in Willerburn Acres. This beautiful home at 11736 Gainsborough Road offers 6 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 2 half baths, a masterclass in scale and comfort. Built in 2005, this residence offers over 6,900+ square feet of interior space; the quality of craftsmanship is undeniable, with thoughtfully designed living space on a lush three-quarter-acre lot. From high ceilings and gleaming hardwood floors to custom built-ins and abundant storage in every corner, it’s clear no detail was overlooked in the home's design and construction.
The heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen built for the serious entertainer. This culinary powerhouse features granite countertops, ample cabinetry, and a high-end stainless-steel appliance suite that includes two dishwashers, double ovens, two fridges/freezers, two sinks, and two warming drawers. Whether you’re hosting a holiday dinner in the expansive formal dining room—complete with a butler’s pantry—or a casual hangout in the family room with its elegant coffered ceilings and integrated shelving, the flow is effortless. For quieter moments, the main level also hosts a handsome library, two convenient half baths, and a coveted primary suite, providing a peaceful retreat complete with massive walk-in closets that make organization a breeze.
Practicality meets luxury in the home’s functional spaces, including a dedicated mudroom with its own side entrance—perfect for keeping daily life organized. It’s conveniently near a laundry room that boasts cabinets and storage galore. Upstairs, you’ll find four generous bedrooms, each with its own walk-in closet, connected by Jack-and-Jill bathrooms. The walk-out lower level continues the theme of intelligent design, offering a massive recreation room, a private office, a gym, an additional bedroom, and a full bath.
The transition between indoor and outdoor living is seamless, with the sprawling, park-like backyard accessible from multiple points throughout the house. Enjoy your morning coffee on the screened-in porch or host summer BBQs on the patio while taking in the greenery of your nearly three-quarter-acre lot. With a three-car garage and a location minutes from top-rated schools, the Cabin John Trail, and premier shopping, this home offers a rare balance of seclusion and convenience. It’s not just a house; it’s the lifestyle you’ve been waiting for.
It’s a rare find to stumble across a home that feels so impressively grand while staying so warm and peaceful....
