Property Description
This custom-built home is located just outside of the small town of Laytonsville, a quiet reminder of yesteryear in an otherwise distracted country. It has been described as an English country cottage. A master brick mason recently stopped on the front walk and admired the brickwork on this home for its exquisite workmanship. Surrounded by pastoral farmland, Griffith Park consists of just 32 homes on a quiet, dead-end street with neighbors who will become your forever friends. Why live in a densely populated neighborhood with an HOA down-county when you can live here for the same price with walking paths that are natural? Although just over 1/2 acre to maintain, the yard backs to meadows that feel endless. There are four bedrooms upstairs, a lovely office on the main and a full in-law suite with kitchenette and full bathroom in the basement for your nannies or in-laws or fun-loving boomerangs. The freshly refinished hardwoods (2019) throughout the home are pristine. You can breathe the clean. The recently remodeled, unusually spacious kitchen has new cabinets and high-end countertops with throwback tiles and a toasty woodstove (Franklin). Speaking of toasty, the front Energy Star windows bring in the morning warmth while the high-efficiency Anderson windows in the family room allow you to bask in the blazing sunset in the family room. Drink the sparkling water from the robust well with a water-treatment system to reduce acidity and sediment for excellent taste. The woodstove (Vermont Castings Encore) in the family room can heat two floors. However, you have a high-efficiency oil boiler (Energy Kinetics 2000 installed in 2018) that both heats the home with baseboard heating and replaces a hot-water heater. Google that to see all that it provides. All of the bathrooms have been updated with the space-saving en suite being simple and tasteful. The roof was replaced in 2018. The insulated garage makes those exterior chores feel like they are inside. If you want tranquility without leaving the county, this one is worth seeing.
