Welcome to this gorgeous home in beautiful, bucolic Saint Leonard! Uniquely located on a quiet cul-de-sac and facing open wooded space, this stone-fronted home is surrounded by beautiful landscaping and hosts a front porch that invites you to sit a while with your morning paper and coffee and a back deck that provides you amazing privacy while grilling, entertaining, or just relaxing at the end of the day. Both porch and deck are constructed with durable Trex decking. The two levels of this home are finished for a total of 2,421 square feet of living space while sitting on a full, unfinished basement that boasts walkout stairs, a roughed-in bathroom, a utility sink, a workshop area, and plenty of open space waiting for you to make it into your own finished design. The main level of this home features a large owners suite (bedroom, large walk-in closet, two-sink vanity, separate tub and shower), a beautiful formal dining room located just off the main foyer, a comfy great room with 14 ceilings and floor to ceiling windows (tinted!) that invite in the light, a half-bath, a warm breakfast area that opens onto the back deck, an efficiently organized kitchen that abuts the breakfast area, a two-sided gas fireplace seen from both the family room and the kitchen s breakfast area, and a large laundry/mud room conveniently located off the kitchen just before you enter the garage. Also featured is a plumbing design that provided near-instant hot water to all faucets in the house no waiting for hot water to appear. There is a built-in desk in the kitchen s breakfast area which may be used as a bar or buffet when entertaining or . . . let it be your telework space. Hard wood flooring graces the master suite bedroom, dining room, and family room. The stairs off the foyer lead upstairs to three bedrooms and a full bathroom that are great for family, friends, or a more private den/home office. There is an extra-large driveway with a turnaround area and 2-car garage that allow for ample parking. The garage has plenty of drawer and cupboard space and a convenient work shelf next to a utility sink. This lovely home is situated on almost one acre of land and is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped yard, verdant lawn, flowering crepe myrtle and cherry trees, azaleas, and other flora that bloom at various times of the year, all chosen to accent each season so there is never a time of year when the yard isn't enjoyable. Yet the surroundings are such that maintenance is minimal roof gutters are covered by Leaf Filter and never need cleaning, an underground sprinkler system does away with the need to water plants and lawn, and the shed for storing tools and yard implements is convenient and in great condition. The expansive back yard, private and wooded, invites family fun. Everything about this home speaks to a relaxed and beautiful living experience. This home s convenient location is wonderful for a commute north to DC/NoVA or south to NAS Patuxent River, but more importantly possesses an amazing lifestyle as it s within a mile of Saint Leonard Elementary School, minutes to magnificent hiking trails and Chesapeake Bay beaches and parks, or a short walk to the local Chesapeake's Bounty market to pick up fresh fruits/vegetable, local seafood/crabs, and flowers!
