Light-filled three-level Tudor home situated on a private 1.17-acre lot in the quiet Gayfields neighborhood. Thoughtfully updated throughout, this home features a semi-open floor plan, renovated kitchen, new windows and entry doors, upstairs laundry, a basement in-law suite, enhanced landscaping, and architectural upgrades. Perfect for entertaining or cozy evenings by one of the home’s three fireplaces, the main level offers formal living and dining rooms, a beautiful family room with exposed wood beams and a bay window, a quiet corner office, and an exceptional kitchen designed to impress. The kitchen features two sinks, generous counter space, and a spacious pantry. A well-appointed mudroom off the kitchen provides access to the two-car garage, four additional parking spaces, and a secondary entry door with double sidelights. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms plus a fifth room currently configured as a convenient laundry room. The expansive primary suite includes a private hallway leading to an oversized bedroom and a large ensuite bath. Ample closet space can be found throughout the second floor. The walkout lower level includes its own kitchen, living area, large tastefully updated bathroom, private entrance, and patio. The space offers exceptional potential as an income-producing rental, in-law suite, guest quarters, or as a private retreat. Outdoor living shines with a wide Trex deck overlooking a large patio and a concrete walkway that encircles the home. Certified as a Wildlife Habitat, the backyard is a true nature retreat featuring mature garden beds, a cedar privacy fence on three sides, and a see-through deer fence along the rear to preserve views of the wooded back lot. Conveniently located just one mile from the Intercounty Connector with easy access to Washington, DC, Rockville, and Baltimore. Only 10 minutes to the Glenmont Metro and the shopping and dining destinations of Olney.
