Tucked away on a private road and nestled on 2 lush acres backing directly to Smallwood State parkland, this beautifully maintained and upgraded ranch style home offers the ultimate in privacy and serenity. The beauty begins outside with an oversized driveway with stack stone lighted pillars, a tailored exterior with Hardi Board siding and a charming front porch, pristine landscaping, rear porch, large patio, and lush yard surrounded by woodlands and an entire state park for a backyard! Inside, an open floor plan, gleaming hardwood flooring, crown molding, and upgraded lighting throughout, an abundance of windows, and a gourmet kitchen and luxurious owner's suite create instant appeal. Step into a light-filled dining and living area that flows seamlessly into the standout chef's kitchen, equipped with gleaming granite countertops, upgraded custom cabinetry, a stunning copper sink, designer tile backsplash, and premium appliances including a Sub-Zero built-in refrigerator, Wolfe cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, built-in ice maker, a brand new 2-zone beverage center/fridge, and a generous walk-in pantry! The living room features a built-in surround sound system and French doors opening to the expansive yard and a cozy covered back patio, that makes it perfect for entertaining or relaxing. Off the kitchen is access to the converted garage, now an expansive recreation area with a pellet stove, door to the side patio, and over 250 sq. ft. of storage with space for large bins concealed behind the bead board panels, though it could easily be converted back into a 2-car garage if desired. Hardwood flooring continues down the hall to the opposite side of the home and into the primary suite boasting crown molding, a sleek lighted ceiling fan, wall sconces, and two walk-in closets. The ensuite bath features a granite topped vanity area with chic lighting and a separate area with large walk-in shower accented by marble style tile and a built-in electric towel warmer operated with a timer. Two additional bright and cheerful bedrooms, each with hardwood flooring, lighted ceiling fans, and their own spacious closets, share the equally updated hall bath with a vanity topped in granite and tub/shower combo. A laundry closet with full sized washer and dryer eases the daily task. Adding peace of mind, this move-in ready home features a roof that is only 4 years old with a 50-year warranty, a newer heat pump with UV lighting, a two-year-old hot water heater, reverse osmosis at the kitchen sink, and a whole-home water filtration system. A large 190 sq. ft, shed with 2 skylights, and an additional attached 180 sq. ft. rear covered area in the yard provides additional storage, making this the perfect property for anyone seeking peaceful living with modern comforts and room to spread out. Enjoy nature watching from your own backyard in this tranquil setting that shares a large boundary with Smallwood State Park, a 628-acre park with a marina, boat launching ramps, access to the Mattawoman Creek and Potomac River, picnic area, pavilions, playgrounds and miles of nature trails. A very cycling friendly area, great for biking and running enthusiasts. Just minutes to Naval Base at Indian Head and easy access to major commuting routes, National Harbor, Andrews AFB, Joint Base Anacostia, and DC. Come home to Lucille Thornton Place!
