About this home
A PLACE THAT IMMEDIATELY FEELS LIKE HOME. Walk through the front door of this classic Colonial and you know you are HOME. The pace slows. The outside world fades a bit. You realize you’ve arrived somewhere meant for living well.
Picture the evening unfolding here. The family room invites you to stretch out, perhaps with a bowl of popcorn, the fireplace glowing softly while a favorite movie, the Olympics, or the World Cup plays across the big screen. It’s the kind of room where conversation lingers and relaxation comes easily.
Just a few steps away, the kitchen becomes the natural center of activity. Whether the plan is a quick weeknight dinner or something more ambitious for friends and family, there’s space for both. The generous island becomes the gathering point — a place for morning coffee, casual meals, or simply keeping the cook company. When the grill is calling, the screened porch sits conveniently nearby, making it effortless to step outside and turn burgers or kebobs while still part of the conversation indoors.
When it’s time to host, the home rises easily to the occasion. The dining and living rooms were made for gatherings — holidays filled with laughter, celebrations with friends, or evenings when the table stretches a little longer than usual. Natural light spills through elegant bay windows, giving these rooms a warm, welcoming feel throughout the day.
Daily life unfolds comfortably here as well. Hardwood floors run through much of the main and upper levels, adding warmth and continuity. The kitchen and breakfast area were thoughtfully opened to create a bright, inviting space that feels both timeless and updated, accented by distinctive interior brick and stainless appliances that make the space as functional as it is beautiful.
Step outside through the French doors and the mood shifts again. The screened porch becomes a quiet retreat — a place for morning coffee while the neighborhood wakes up or an evening drink as the light fades through the trees. Below, a shaded patio offers a second outdoor space overlooking the wooded yard, giving you two peaceful places to enjoy the outdoors.
Upstairs, four comfortable bedrooms provide restful private spaces. The primary suite offers an updated bath designed for everyday comfort as does the updated hall bath.
The finished lower level adds another layer of flexibility to the home. A spacious recreation room and wet bar create an ideal spot for gatherings or game nights, while an additional bedroom suite with full bath provide a welcoming space for guests, extended family, or a quiet home office.
Beyond the front door lies a neighborhood that residents genuinely cherish. Hillbrook/Tall Oaks is known for its towering trees and friendly atmosphere. Throughout the year, neighbors gather for block parties, children’s carnivals, food trucks, and the beloved Halloween parade — the kinds of traditions that quietly transform a neighborhood into a community.
And while the setting feels peaceful and tucked away, the location keeps you effortlessly connected. Just inside the Beltway and minutes from I-495 and I-395, everyday conveniences — Starbucks, restaurants, shopping, and county parks — are all close at hand.
In the end, what makes this home special is the balance it offers: a gracious place to gather, relax, and create memories, nestled within a leafy enclave that feels like a quiet retreat — yet wonderfully connected to everything inside the Beltway...
