Nestled in the desirable Woodley Gardens neighborhood, this elegant, detached home at 1038 Carnation Drive offers over 4,000 square feet of interior space on a generous half acre lot. From the moment you arrive, the home's classic proportions and mature landscaping set the tone for what's inside.
The main level opens to a welcoming foyer flanked by a living room and dining area, ideal for entertaining. The updated kitchen features beautiful wood cabinetry and solid surface counters, flowing into a breakfast nook and a spacious family room warmed by a gas fireplace. A powder room and a well-appointed laundry and mudroom combination are conveniently tucked away. Also on the main floor is a generously sized bedroom with an en-suite full bath near a second entrance, making it a flexible layout well suited to guests, an au pair, or multigenerational living.
Upstairs, the primary suite impresses with a large walk-in closet and en-suite bath, joined by three additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom, giving the home five bedrooms in total.
The finished lower level adds significant living space with a large family room and recreation room, both ideal for entertaining, along with a half bathroom and an oversized utility and storage room offering plenty of room to spare. A two-car garage completes the home's practical footprint.
Outside, a deck overlooks the fully fenced, flat and incredibly spacious backyard, creating a private, park-like setting for al fresco dining or quiet mornings outdoors.
Woodley Gardens Park sits just moments away with its tennis courts, ball fields, playgrounds, and walking trails. The Woodley Gardens Shopping Center is a short walk away, home to Carmen's Italian Ice, Z&Z Manoushe Bakery, Neighbors Coffee, Hardtimes Cafe and more. Rockville Town Center is under a mile away, offering a wider mix of restaurants, boutiques, and national retailers, and commuters will appreciate quick access to I-270 as well as the Rockville MARC and Metro station on the Red Line, a short drive from the house. For additional shopping and entertainment, Pike and Rose and Westfield Montgomery Mall are both within easy reach.
