Tucked down a circular drive on nearly two private, wooded acres in Ashton's Bradfords Rest, this one-of-a-kind Cape Cod is the rare turnkey home where a major 2020 renovation meets true, hard-to-find character. Follow the slate path to a deep covered front porch — the kind with custom-painted ceiling detail, outdoor lighting, and a ceiling fan — where mornings start slow and the only traffic is birdsong from the surrounding trees. Step inside and the home announces itself immediately: refinished hardwood floors, exposed wood beams, crown moldings, and custom built-ins run through the main level. The renovated gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home, outfitted with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and a generous island seating four or more. It opens directly to the dining area in a true open-concept flow, then spills into a showstopping vaulted sunroom wrapped on three sides with windows and served by its own dedicated heating and cooling system — a space that works as hard in February as it does in June. The living room anchors the main level with a wood stove insert fireplace powerful enough to heat the entire house in winter, while a cozy den off the main hall offers its own wood-burning fireplace, built-ins, and desk nook — ideal as a reading room, library, or home office. Rounding out the main floor: a full bath with a gorgeous tiled walk-in shower, and an expanded laundry room tucked behind custom barn doors. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a walk-in closet, exposed beams, freshly installed luxury vinyl plank flooring, and a new spa-caliber primary bath with a dual vanity, a tiled shower with rain head and body jets, and a separate water closet. Two additional bedrooms share a tastefully updated hall bath. The fully finished walk-up lower level adds over 500 square feet of flexible living space — perfect as a rec room, media room, or fitness area — plus a dedicated office and a third full bath. Direct walkout stairs to the backyard make the whole level effortlessly usable. Outside is where this property truly distinguishes itself. A circular drive wraps a central fire-pit gathering area; an extensive hardscape patio opens onto a wooded paradise of mature trees; and a private one-mile nature trail begins just beyond the rear property line, connecting directly to the Patuxent River. The grounds back to parkland and offer the kind of quiet privacy Ashton is known for. Systems are all handled: two new dual-zone heat pumps with air handlers, newer well pump, replaced acid neutralizer, thermal vinyl siding, thermal replacement windows, architectural shingle roof, 200+ amp electrical service, and fiber-optic internet. A 2-car side-entry garage plus a 4-space driveway means parking is never a question. Location wise, you're three minutes from GrillMarx Steakhouse in Ashton, and a short drive to Olney's dining corridor — Salt & Vine, Cava Mezze, Olney Ale House, and Fallen Oak Distilling — plus year-round programming at Olney Theatre Center and the trails at Rachel Carson Conservation Park. Commuter lots sit within five miles with a bus stop under a mile, connecting easily to the ICC, I-95, and the New Hampshire Avenue corridor. Assigned to the Sherwood school cluster within Montgomery County Public Schools. A true private retreat, renovated for today, built to last, and impossible to replicate at this price.
