Description

Nestled in the sought-after, historic area of Moyaone Reserve, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath traditional style home is sited on 5 private acres. An inviting and center hall entry is flanked on either side by a gracious living and spacious dining room with crown moldings and wainscoting and window placement that make each room bright and beautiful! This entry hall then opens into a dramatic family room with cathedral ceiling, symmetrically arranged doors leading to a screened porch and inviting back yard deck with custom planters and a view of the beautiful natural "kingdom" that surrounds this residence.An owner's suite has a large bath with a new state-of-the-art shower and a double sink vanity. A large walk-in closet will meet one's "all season" apparel needs. The bedroom has double exposure to enjoy the beauty of the natural surroundings and its own door leading to the backyard deck.Two other bedrooms (or a second suite with bedroom and study) are located on the opposite side of the home. One room offers custom built-ins for an at-home office space. A full hall bath in between these rooms is well-designed with a large closet and an attractive window. Combortable living at its best!! Two of the bedrooms have new carpet; the hardwoods in the common area are traditional and most attractive. An eat-in kitchen, a first floor spacious laundry room (washer, dryer and sink with custom built-ins) pantry, a basement entry and an entrance to the 2-car side-loading garage complete this level. The lower level is a walk-out and has both windows and a sliding glass door to provide plenty of daylight exposure. The first room at the bottom of the stairs is finished; a large open area served as a workshop and at-home office and storage space for the current owner. A separate utility room, storage area and a one car garage are behind closed doors off the large open area. There is also a fire-retardant system in this home. A new roof (2024) was recently installed and its warranty will convey to the new owner!This house was custom-built for these owners in 2000 and the original plans are available for future owner's review. This home is about 20 miles from the U.S. Capitol and the view from Mount Vernon across the River was meant to remain free of visible development by both locations. Careful planning and legislation have made this possible.This home can be either a weekend getaway or a permanent residence for its new owners; whatever its use, the natural beauty and historicity remain intact and offer residents many opportunities for local research, service, preservation and environmental education. There are scenic easements, restrictions and covenants that protect that history and further development in the Reserve. Information on these and Piscataway Park and the Alice Ferguson Foundation are available at the resdence. There is an HOA ($820 a year) which does include use of the pool and community recreation facilities. Piscataway Park (a 5000 acre National Park) is comprised of 7 entities: National Colonial Farm, Hard Bargain Farm, Farmington Landing, Fort Washington Marine, Accokeek Creek Park and Marshal Hall. Moyaone Reserve is georgraphically divided into 7 sections each uniquely named with different elevations and views. Community recreation, walk trails and parks abound in the area.
