This custom-built brick estate offers exceptional craftsmanship and superior finishes throughout more than 12,000 square feet of living space. Privately situated at the end of a cul-de-sac on a picturesque 3.53-acre lot in the coveted Ridgewood community, the property features an in-ground pool, plentiful patios and scenic views of a private pond. Inside, ceilings ranging from ten to twenty feet showcase an array of architectural treatments, including tray, vaulted, and barrel designs. The home is richly appointed with five cast stone fireplaces, dual staircases, custom mouldings, window treatments, pillars, and graceful arches. The main level is highlighted by a grand great room, a sun-filled solarium, and a stately library. The primary suite, also located on the main level, features Alabaster light fixtures, dual vanities, a jetted tub, a roll-in ceramic shower, and four walk-in California closets. The fully equipped and expansive kitchen is outfitted with a granite center island, quartz perimeter countertops, Cherry cabinetry, dual sinks, and ceramic flooring, opening to a bright breakfast room with access to the covered porch, stamped concrete patios and wall fountain. The upper level offers a wraparound interior promenade connecting five bedrooms, three full baths, an Azek patio, a second laundry room, and a cedar-lined storage room. The walk-out lower level includes a media room, game room, family room, half bath, and substantial unfinished space-well suited for an apartment, in-law or au pair suite. Hallway walk-in closets are roughed-in and vertically aligned to accommodate a future three-level elevator. Parking is plentiful with a three-car garage and an additional heated, oversized one-car garage with direct access to the basement. The home is serviced by a private well and septic system, five separate oil-fueled HVAC systems, and 600-amp electrical service. Conveniently located near highly rated schools, the property offers easy access to downtown Washington, DC, Baltimore, Annapolis, and Frederick, as well as close proximity to BWI, NSA, NASA, MARC rail, and major transportation routes.
