Now Offered at $849,900: Same Views, New Number! Step onto the back deck at 12512 Carry Back Place and the view says it all: open lawn and protected public green space stretching out beyond the yard, with no rear neighbors in sight. This 5-bedroom, 2.5-bath Gaithersburg home offers 2,372 square feet above grade and pairs that rare sense of privacy with a layout built for everyday living and entertaining. The heart of the outdoor living is an expansive deck that runs across the back of the home, framed by beautiful wisteria that adds color, fragrance, and again adds to the homeowner's privacy. It's generous enough for a full dining set, a lounge area, and a grill station, and every seat looks out over the lawn and the parkland beyond. Morning coffee, weekend cookouts, and quiet evenings all come with a view of trees and open sky rather than neighboring rooftops. Inside, the front living room and dining room feature custom wood flooring. Its rich tone and craftsmanship give the main level a warm, finished feel from the moment you walk through the door. The dining room flows easily for everyday meals and holiday gatherings alike, and natural light fills both rooms. Five bedrooms give everyone a room of their own, with flexibility for a home office or guest room, and 2.5 baths keep busy mornings moving. The walk-out lower level is a blank canvas ready for your vision. A sliding glass door opens straight to the backyard and green space, bringing in natural light and making it easy to picture a recreation room, home gym, media space, or guest suite with its own entrance. Until then, it offers abundant storage and workshop space, plus the chance to add living area and build equity on your own terms. The location puts you within easy reach of shopping, dining, commuter routes, and everything Gaithersburg has to offer, while home still feels like a retreat. Homes that back to open green space don't come along often, and at its new price, this one deserves a fresh look. Schedule your private showing today.
