Set on 2 private acres at the end of a quiet no-thru street, this striking contemporary home offers nearly 7,000 square feet of light-filled living in the heart of Darnestown. The property feels like a retreat. Mature landscaping frames the long drive and brick paver courtyard, while expansive decks and patios step down to a sparkling in-ground pool surrounded by open lawn and wooded views. Even beyond the 6-foot deer fence, the land continues, giving the setting a rare sense of space and privacy. Whether hosting summer gatherings by the pool or enjoying crisp evenings around the fire pit, the outdoor spaces are as impressive as the home itself. Inside, a dramatic foyer with soaring ceilings, marble flooring, uplighting, and walls of windows and skylights sets the tone. Natural light pours in from every angle. To the right, a spacious office features built-in shelving, a desk, recessed lighting, and a full wall of windows overlooking the courtyard. To the left, a formal living room provides a refined space to gather, while the separate dining room offers ambient lighting, a gas fireplace, and expansive windows with double sliding doors that open directly to the outdoor oasis. The family room is warm and inviting, centered around a wood-burning fireplace with a marble surround and raised hearth. Nearby, the sunroom stuns with floor-to-ceiling windows and eight skylights that frame sweeping views of the backyard and pool. The kitchen blends style and function with stainless steel appliances, black granite counters, a large bay window over the sink, and a generous walk-in pantry. The main-level primary suite offers comfort and privacy, complete with a walk-in closet and a spacious bath featuring a large step-in shower with bench seating, dual shower heads, dual vanities, and a glass block window for soft natural light. A 2023 addition introduced a bright open sitting area wrapped in windows overlooking the backyard, along with built-in shelving and cabinetry. This wing also includes two large bedrooms and a full bath with dual vanities, a well-appointed laundry room and a half bath. The attached one-car garage is adjacent to a seperate space that has been fully finished and thoughtfully converted into a private office suite. With its own separate exterior entrance, this space is ideal for a home business, studio, or quiet workspace, while still maintaining convenient access to the main house. In addition, a detached three-car garage provides ample room for vehicles, storage, or hobbies. The expansive walk out lower level extends the living space with a large family room featuring another wood-burning fireplace, wet bar, and sliding glass doors that lead directly to the patio and pool deck. Two additional bedrooms also open to the pool area through sliding doors. A full bath, bonus room, a half bath and generous storage space complete this level, making it perfect for guests or multi-generational living. Modern comforts include remote-controlled window and skylight shades, energy-efficient insulation, a whole-house vacuum, and high-speed WiFi equipment. Major systems have been thoughtfully maintained, including a new roof installed in 2025, a new pool heater installed in 2025, Bryant dual-zone HVAC system installed in 2020 with heat pump and air cleaner, two 50-gallon water heaters, and a 400-amp electric panel.
