Welcome to this Colonial home in the desirable Montgomery Square neighborhood of Potomac, thoughtfully maintained and well suited for everyday living as well as entertaining. Set on a 0.20-acre lot, the property includes 2,898 total square feet across three finished levels, with three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a powder room, a screened porch, and a private backyard. Gleaming refinished hardwood floors on the main and upper levels, recessed lighting throughout, chair rail detailing, and an abundance of windows letting in tons of natural light add warmth and character throughout the home. The main level is designed with a comfortable and functional flow. At the center of the home, the kitchen is appointed with resilient engineered plank flooring, Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range with griddle and hood, and a peninsula that defines the space while allowing the kitchen to flow seamlessly into the family room, creating an easy connection between cooking gathering spaces. The family room is anchored by a brick accent wall and wood-burning fireplace, while sliding glass doors bring in additional light and lead directly to the screened porch and deck. Spacious living and dining rooms, an office, powder room, and coat closet complete the main level. Upstairs, hardwood floors continue along the staircase and throughout the entire upper level. All three bedrooms include recessed lighting, closets with built-in organization systems, and a clean, cohesive feel. The primary suite includes two closets and an attached bath with a walk-in shower enclosed by glass doors and finished in white tile. The hall bath includes a tub-shower combination with glass doors and matching white tile finishes. The lower level adds valuable flexible living space, with a rec room that can easily serve as a game room, exercise area, playroom, or additional lounge space. A large utility room provides ample storage and helps keep the home organized. Outdoor living is a true highlight of the property. The screened porch is generously sized and enhanced by cathedral ceilings, skylights, and a ceiling fan, creating an inviting setting for relaxing or entertaining through much of the year. Just beyond, the deck extends the outdoor space even further, overlooking a fully fenced backyard with room to garden, play, or simply enjoy the privacy of the setting. Located in sought-after Potomac, Montgomery Square is convenient to shopping, dining, parks, and major commuter routes. Top rated MOCO schools further enhance the home’s appeal.
