Listing Description

Located on a private 2.7-acre cul-de-sac lot in one of Potomac's most sought-after neighborhoods, this exceptional home offers more than 5,500 square feet of beautifully designed living space, an ideal floor plan, and resort-style salt water pool and outdoor amenities.

The main level is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a gourmet kitchen with a large center island, abundant cabinetry, high end commercial grade appliances and generous counter space that opens seamlessly to the spacious family room.

Formal living and dining rooms provide elegant gathering spaces, while a private study and separate den offer flexibility for working from home, relaxing, or hobbies. A large mudroom and walk-in pantry add convenience and exceptional storage. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite serves as a private retreat with a renovated spa-inspired bathroom and an impressive walk-in closet room.

Three additional bedrooms include one with an en-suite bath and two connected by a dual-entry bathroom, providing a thoughtful layout for family and guests. The walkout lower level offers outstanding additional living space with a large recreation room, wet bar, bedroom, full bathroom, dedicated gym, separate den area, and abundant storage.

Outside, the backyard feels like a private retreat. The spa-like salt water heated pool is surrounded by extensive hardscaping, multiple entertaining areas, and a built-in fire pit, creating the perfect setting for relaxing or hosting guests. The expansive lot offers a rare combination of privacy, open space, and mature landscaping.

Additional features include a private shared driveway serving just four homes, a 3-car garage, and a backup generator. The 50-year shingle roof was replaced in 2010, and all three HVAC zones have been replaced, offering added peace of mind for the next owner. Tucked away just off Glen Road, this special property offers a peaceful setting while remaining close to Potomac Village, parks, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes.
