About This Home
Welcome home! Perfectly sited on a peaceful 0.49-acre lot, this beautifully updated home offers the best of both worlds—a private retreat surrounded by nature, just minutes from the shopping, dining, and entertainment of the Kentlands. A rare and delightful bonus, the backyard features a charming chicken coop with 14 laying hens that can convey with the property or be re-homed, offering the opportunity to enjoy fresh eggs each morning. Energy-efficient solar panels help reduce utility costs while providing an environmentally friendly lifestyle. The largest model in this sought-after no-HOA neighborhood, this spacious 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home is designed for comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. The main level features a large eat-in kitchen that opens to the inviting family room with a cozy fireplace and newly installed French doors leading to an expansive deck overlooking the private backyard. A formal living room, separate dining room, and convenient powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with an en-suite bath, a full hall bath, and a large laundry room with abundant storage. The walkout lower level provides additional finished living space, perfect for a recreation room, home office, or gym, along with a separate storage room. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy space, privacy, modern updates, energy-saving features, and a unique backyard lifestyle in an unbeatable location close to parks, commuter routes, and all the amenities the Kentlands has to offer.
