$849,000
This elegant Colonial-style three-level single-family home sits on a beautifully landscaped 1-acre lot backing to woodland, offering 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, 1 half bath, a 2-car garage, and 5,094 square feet of finished living space.
A welcoming front porch leads to a dramatic two-story foyer. The main level includes a private office with French doors, ideal for remote work or study. The well-appointed kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, a spacious walk-in pantry, and a large center island, and opens seamlessly to the morning room and main living areas. The impressive two-story family room with hardwood flooring creates a striking architectural focal point, while dual staircases provide both elegance and convenience when accessing the upper level.
Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms offer comfortable accommodations. The primary suite includes walk-in closets and a generous garden-style bathroom with dual vanities, creating a comfortable private retreat.
The finished walk-up basement expands the home’s living space and includes a guest bedroom, full bathroom, workout room, and custom storage room, making it ideal for extended guests, recreation, hobbies, or flexible multigenerational living.
Outdoor living is a standout feature of the property. A large custom brick patio creates an expansive outdoor entertaining area overlooking the private wooded backyard, perfect for gatherings, outdoor dining, relaxation, or quiet moments enjoying the surrounding natural landscape. A brick walkway connecting the front and backyard adds charm and convenient access to the outdoor living spaces.
A 1-acre homesite in such a convenient location is exceptionally rare, and the property is further distinguished by its thoughtfully designed landscaping. The backyard borders mature woodland, while a row of Leyland Cypress evergreens lines both side boundaries, providing natural privacy while preserving open views of the surrounding forest. From the kitchen, dining room, living room, office, and bedrooms, large windows and sliding glass doors frame peaceful views of trees, flowers, and seasonal colors. With birdsong and occasional wildlife along the woodland edge, the home often feels more like a private park or garden retreat than a typical suburban residence.
Adding significant long-term value, the home features fully owned rooftop solar panels. The system operates through BGE’s net-metering program, greatly reducing monthly electricity costs and often eliminating them entirely during high-production months. When solar production exceeds household usage, surplus electricity is returned to the grid, generating bill credits and occasionally a small payment from the utility. The solar system transfers to the new owner with no lease obligations and includes approximately 22 years of remaining warranty coverage.
The home is located just minutes from NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and offers convenient access—within approximately 6 to 14 minutes’ drive—to Interstate 95, Interstate 495, Baltimore–Washington Parkway, New Carrollton Station (Metro, MARC, and Amtrak), and Greenbelt station (Green Line terminus).
Major regional destinations including Washington, DC, Inner Harbor, and Annapolis are all about a 30-minute drive, providing an ideal balance between peaceful, nature-oriented living and excellent regional connectivity.
