Colonial

Tucked away on 1.65 acres in the sought-after Goshen Estates community, this custom-built home blends timeless Southern charm with thoughtful design. Inspired by a North Carolina residence featured in Colonial Homes magazine, the home’s architecture draws on romantic Southern influences, complete with a full-width front porch, gabled roofline, and distinctive arched dormer windows. With only its second owners and over 5,400 square feet, this home is rich in character and quality. A long driveway sets a welcoming tone as you approach the home, flanked by an attached carriage-house style garage that adds both function and curb appeal. From the picturesque front porch, step into a two-story foyer where hardwood floors, detailed crown molding, and elegant wainscoting immediately highlight the craftsmanship found throughout. To the right, the formal living and dining rooms offer spacious entertaining areas, each with unique architectural features: beamed ceilings, interior shutters in the living room and a bright bay window in the dining room, which also opens to the deck through a sliding glass door. The heart of the home is the kitchen featuring off-white cabinetry with roll-out drawers and some glass-front display cabinets that blend beauty and practicality. Stainless steel appliances, including a double oven and center island complement the kitchen, while the adjacent breakfast area offers casual dining space with views of the backyard. Just beyond, the two-story great room makes a striking impression with its wall of arched windows, a central fireplace, and second-story windows that floods the room with natural light. To the left of the foyer, the family room offers a quieter gathering space with rich wood trim, built-in bookcases, wainscoting, and a fireplace surround that creates a warm and inviting feel. Sliding pocket doors connect it to the great room, allowing for flexibility between open-concept living and more private spaces. The main level also includes a stylish powder room, a laundry room with built-in cabinetry, and a mudroom with access to the casual entrance. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a retreat with hardwood flooring, a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath featuring a frameless glass shower. Two additional bedrooms, each with hardwood floors, share an attached full bath that includes a double vanity and a private water room with a glass-enclosed shower. One of these bedrooms offers access to a Juliet balcony that connects to the middle dormer for a unique architectural detail. The in-law or guest suite offers incredible flexibility and privacy. Accessible via the upper level catwalk overlooking the great room or by a separate staircase from the mudroom, this suite includes a large bedroom with gorgeous wide-plank hardwood floors installed by the current owner. Additionally, a spacious dressing area with a built-in vanity leads to the full bath with a sparkling stone countertop. The sprawling unfinished lower level is full of potential and includes garage access, making it ideal for future expansion, a home gym, workshop, or recreational space. Mechanical updates have been thoughtfully maintained, including a three-zone HVAC system for year-round comfort, a new water heater in 2024, an upper-level HVAC system replaced six years ago, and a roof with gutter guards installed in 2022. Outdoors, a large deck extends across the back of the home, offering serene views of the lush, tree-lined property. A fenced garden area is perfect for those with a green thumb, and a storage shed provides additional space for tools or seasonal items. Just minutes away, enjoy local favorites like Butler’s Orchard and Damascus Regional Park, along with shopping, dining, and recreational options. Commuters will appreciate easy access to MD-124, MD-355, and I-270, connecting you to Rockville, Bethesda, and Washington, D.C. This custom home is a rare blend of space, style, and setting, ready to welcome its next chapter.
