Gorgeous authentic mid-century design home on 5 private wooded acres with a heated saltwater pool and stunning natural landscaping. This architecturally distinctive home showcases original mid-century design elements throughout, including soaring cathedral ceilings, an open staircase, skylights, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace that rises from the main level to the cathedral ceiling in the owner’s suite. A live plant atrium with skylights welcomes you in the foyer, setting the tone for the home’s timeless mid-century character. The solid-core handmade front door opens to a dramatic sunken living room, formal dining room, and striking natural architectural details throughout. The two-sided stacked stone fireplace serves both the living and dining rooms and includes remote-operated gas logs in the primary bedroom above. A fourth gas fireplace adds warmth to the family room, which also features a convenient office nook and access to the outdoor living spaces. The beautifully updated kitchen is a cook’s delight, featuring natural hickory cabinetry, exotic Brazilian stone countertops with full backsplash, a gas cooktop, double ovens, a huge peninsula with seating, and abundant storage. An adjoining sun room overlooks the pool and beautifully landscaped grounds, creating a bright and relaxing extension of the kitchen and living spaces. A half bath and laundry room are on the main floor. Glass doors from both the kitchen and family room lead to an expansive two-level deck overlooking the pool and wooded setting. The main level showcases natural wood flooring and Italian terra cotta tile, while the family room, stairs, and upper level feature newly installed carpet. Upstairs includes three bedrooms and two full baths with generous bedroom sizes and excellent closet space throughout. The spacious primary suite features cathedral ceilings, the stunning stacked stone fireplace, a large walk-in closet, soaking tub, separate shower, and peaceful wooded views. The unfinished walk-out basement offers high ceilings, a workshop area, wine rack storage, and future expansion potential. A large window and glass doors lead directly to a stone walkway connecting the basement to the pool area and lower deck. Outside, the heated saltwater pool was resurfaced in 2014 with PebbleTec plaster designed for long-term durability. Flagstone decking and a boulder-style diving board create a natural resort-like setting surrounded by mature landscaping. An oversized side-entry two-car garage, large 12’x16’ storage shed, circular driveway, and private flag lot setting add to the property’s appeal. The driveway is a separately deeded parcel, not an easement. Additional improvements include a 2017 roof with transferable 50-year warranty, covered gutters with lifetime warranty, security system with exterior cameras, top-of-the-line water softener with reverse osmosis filtration system, 200-amp electric panel supplying ample power, and high-speed FiOS internet service. Outdoor recreation is just minutes away, with access to over 9,400 acres at Patuxent River Park and the Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary offering miles of hiking, biking, horseback riding trails, visitor programs, kayak and canoe rentals, fishing dock, and boat launch facilities. Rosaryville State Park and its 900 acres are also nearby. Despite its private setting, the home offers convenient access to major destinations — approximately 20 minutes to Joint Base Andrews, 35 minutes to Washington, 45 minutes to the The Pentagon, 35 minutes to Annapolis, 40 minutes to Fort Meade and NSA, and about 45 minutes to Baltimore — making it an ideal blend of country living and commuter convenience
