Welcome to a higher standard of living in the heart of Potomac. Set on one of the largest lots in Copenhaver, this exceptional residence delivers space, privacy, and craftsmanship that go well beyond the typical move-up home. Positioned on a corner lot with a circular driveway and backing to parkland and trails, the setting is quiet, wooded, and refined, a true sense of arrival the moment you pull in. The bright, sun-filled main level is designed for how people live today. A large center-island kitchen opens seamlessly to the family room and a travertine-refinished deck, creating an ideal flow for entertaining or everyday living. Formal living and dining rooms add timeless elegance, while hardwood floors and two fireplaces anchor the space with warmth and character. The living room is enhanced by custom-built bookshelves with walnut mouldings crafted in Michigan, a subtle but unmistakable mark of quality. A rare main-level bedroom with a full bathroom adds flexibility and long-term value. Ideal for guests, extended family, or a private office suite, this feature allows true one-level living, a standout advantage in a neighborhood where most bedrooms are upstairs. Upstairs, the primary suite feels elevated and intentional, featuring generous closet space and a spa-like bath finished with 100% American walnut flooring, door, and custom trimwork, craftsmanship you can see and feel. Additional bedrooms are well-proportioned, and the upper level offers direct access to two large attic storage areas, making seasonal and long-term storage simple and convenient. The fully finished walk-out lower level expands the home’s versatility even further. It includes a full bathroom, family room, laundry, and a private suite with full kitchen and separate entrance, ideal for multi-generational living or private guest quarters. The enclosed porch on this level doubles as a large workshop or creative space, and the entire lower level is pre-wired in-wall for network connectivity and full home theater capability, ready for modern living. Outdoor living is just as impressive. The landscaped, fenced backyard opens directly to Copenhaver’s privately maintained neighborhood park, featuring tennis courts, basketball court, tot lot, walking trails, pond, and open recreational fields, effectively an extension of your own backyard. Recent updates include a new roof in 2024, with major systems already in place. The location is exceptional, just minutes to Falls Road Park, Cabin John Park and Ice Rink, Park Potomac Shopping Center, Rockville Town Square, and easy access to I-270, Metro, the C & O Canal, Glenstone Museum, and Strathmore Music Center. This is not just more house. It’s a step up in quality, design, and lifestyle, thoughtfully crafted for buyers who want their next move to feel like a true upgrade, featuring kitchen cabinets made of natural Hickory and custom Hardwood Artisan walnut pulls, in one of Potomac’s most sought-after communities.
