This expansive pre-inspected Centex home is the perfect opportunity for a savvy new homeowner. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the Seneca Whetstone community, this home backs to Seneca Creek State Park. The fresh landscape and mature trees complement the exterior of this residence and create a welcoming first impression. This Center Hall Colonial boasts a generously sized living room to the right of the entry and a formal dining room with chair rail molding to the left, both with plantation shutters for privacy. The sunken, oversized great room, with its vaulted ceilings, skylights, and sunny windows galore will make you the envy of all of your friends. Gather around the brick fireplace on a chilly evening and relax with a good book. Lovingly maintained by the original owners, this home includes timeless upgrades, newly refinished gleaming hardwood floors, and new carpet in the basement, with inspection items repaired. The cheery kitchen is the perfect place to try your hand at new recipes; updated to perfection in 2002, it includes maple cabinets, Corian countertops, a center island, and a walk-in pantry. Enjoy your morning coffee in the breakfast area, perfect for quick meals and homework. In addition to the two-car garage, there is plenty of parking in the driveway and on the street. There is a mud room just off the roomy garage to "catch" all your shoes, bags, and coats. The vaulted ceilings in the owner's bedroom make the space feel twice as large. Connected to the owner's bedroom is a bathroom offering a double vanity, tub shower, extra storage, and a skylight. The second level features three more bedrooms, all with excellent closet space and a shared hall bathroom. The four bedrooms are complemented by two finished rooms in the basement which can easily be an office, library, playroom, or fitness room; there's a space for everything and everyone has space. And there is no need for cluttered closets with a partially unfinished basement adding more than 800 sq ft for storage. Craving some fresh air? The backyard is a peaceful oasis offering wooded views. Step out onto the large trex deck, perfect for grilling and entertaining, or just sit and relax amongst the greenery and wildlife that frequents the neighborhood. The .33-acre property extends 15 feet into the parkland beyond the retaining wall; a get-away right out your back door. The covered front porch is perfect for taking in a spring thunderstorm. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby Blohm Park and Great Seneca Stream Valley Park full of hiking and biking trails. Thanks to its sought-after location, you can enjoy all that Gaithersburg and Germantown have to offer: shops, restaurants, theaters, nightlife, Costco, Wegmans, Target, Downtown Crown, and AMC Dine-in Rio. Located a mere 5 minutes from I-270, with quick access to Rt-355, I-370, and the ICC, there is easy accessibility for any commuter. Apparently, you can have it all!
