Tucked away on 3.36 private acres in the sought-after Hawkins Gate community, this beautifully maintained Colonial offers the perfect balance of country living, space, and convenience just minutes from the heart of La Plata - with the added bonus of no HOA. A long, welcoming driveway sets the tone for the privacy and peaceful setting that define this property. Freshly painted throughout with brand-new carpet, the home offers a wonderful foundation with room to make it your own. Over 3,100 total square feet of thoughtfully designed living space is anchored by a stunning two-story brick fireplace that adds warmth and character to the main level. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and flows easily into the surrounding living areas, making daily meals and entertaining feel effortless. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms offer flexible options for family, guests, or a home office. The primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with a spacious walk-in closet, complemented by two full baths. The walkout basement offers nearly 1,000 square feet of unfinished space ready to be customized into a rec room, gym, in-law suite, or additional storage. The outdoor space is truly exceptional - a massive screened deck is perfect for shaded dining and entertaining, while an equally generous uncovered deck invites sunny afternoons and starlit evenings. The property backs to mature trees, delivering exceptional wooded privacy across the sprawling 3.36-acre lot. Additional features include a two-car side-entry attached garage. Ideally situated with easy access to Route 301, this home is just minutes from historic downtown La Plata's shopping, dining, and community events, with an easy commute to Waldorf, Andrews Air Force Base, and Washington, D.C.
