About this home

Welcome to this incredibly charming home situated on the most picturesque 1-acre corner lot in the sought-after neighborhood of Ancient Oak, nestled in the heart of Darnestown. Enter this lovingly-maintained property through the beautifully landscaped front walkway and flow easily through the dining room, adjoining eat-in kitchen and family room with fireplace and built-in desk. Also on the main level you'll find the half bath, walk-through pantry and an additional large, bright and sunny living space perfect for a playroom or private home office. Upstairs features four bedrooms and two full baths. The primary suite features an updated primary bathroom and the three secondary bedrooms share a full hallway bath. The walk-out basement level boasts a recreational space with updated flooring, two additional legal bedrooms and a full bath perfect for visiting family and guests. Ancient Oak is a neighborhood well known for hosting many family-friendly events, holiday gatherings and lively block parties throughout the year. Residents enjoy easy access to the Ridgefield lake, streams and the Powerline hiking trail to Seneca Creek State Park as well! Car enthusiasts, busy families and/or work-from-home professionals will appreciate the detached three car garage with an additional 950 square feet of finished space located above. The enormous open space is a perfect hang-out/recreational spot for kids (and their friends) and two additional rooms are perfectly suited to serve as a workout room and/or private office. There are truly so many possibilities and options for ways this property can work perfectly for you! * A new roof was just installed on both the garage structure and the main home in March 2024 * The current owners love this property for the beautiful sunsets viewed from the deck, the large back yard that has hosted countless neighborhood wiffle ball games and the space to spread out and pursue hobbies, remote work and fitness from the over-garage studio. Welcome home!
