Rarely available and offered for sale by its original owners, this exceptional custom home is nestled on a private half-acre cul-de-sac lot backing directly to Black Hills Regional Park with direct access to Little Seneca Lake and seasonal lake views. Opportunities to own a property that combines over 4,100 finished square feet with immediate access to one of Montgomery County's most treasured outdoor destinations are exceptionally rare. Imagine starting your day with a walk along the lakeside trails, launching a kayak just beyond your backyard, spending the afternoon fishing or paddleboarding on Little Seneca Lake, and ending the evening on your expansive rear deck overlooking the woods, seasonal lake views, and surrounding natural beauty. This is more than a home—it is a lifestyle centered around nature, recreation, and tranquility. Thoughtfully customized during construction, the home was designed to maximize natural light and showcase its extraordinary setting. Expansive windows throughout the home frame picturesque views of the surrounding parkland and seasonal views of the lake, bringing the outdoors in throughout every season. The main level features an expanded family room with soaring cathedral ceilings, skylights, and a large bay window overlooking the protected green space beyond. The updated kitchen flows seamlessly into the breakfast area, family room, and stunning glass sunroom, creating an inviting open-concept living space ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. Surrounded by walls of glass, the sunroom offers a peaceful retreat with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape and seasonal views of Little Seneca Lake. Direct access to the spacious rear deck creates the perfect setting for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or simply enjoying the peaceful backdrop of protected parkland. The nearly half-acre homesite provides a rare combination of usable outdoor space, mature landscaping, privacy, and protected views that cannot be replicated. The upper level features a spacious primary suite with an updated en-suite bath, along with three additional bedrooms and a renovated hall bath. The finished walkout lower level adds tremendous flexibility with a large recreation area, fifth bedroom, full bath, workshop/craft room, and abundant storage space. Elevated ceiling heights and walkout access create a bright and welcoming lower level rarely found in homes of this era. Significant recent updates include two HVAC systems, all replaced within the past year, providing comfort and peace of mind for years to come. Life here extends far beyond the walls of the home. Step outside your backyard and enjoy immediate access to the paved trail system surrounding Little Seneca Lake and connecting to more than 2,000 acres of Black Hills Regional Park. Whether your interests include kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, hiking, biking, birdwatching, or simply enjoying the beauty of nature, this property provides an unparalleled outdoor lifestyle right outside your door. Wildlife sightings, beautiful seasonal changes, and peaceful surroundings become part of everyday life. Residents of Waters Landing enjoy access to community pools, tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, and numerous recreational amenities, all while remaining conveniently located near shopping, dining, MARC train service, major commuter routes, and everything Montgomery County has to offer. Homes offering a private half-acre cul-de-sac lot, direct access to Little Seneca Lake, seasonal lake views, over 4,100 finished square feet, custom design features, and the privacy of backing to permanently protected parkland rarely become available. This is a truly unique opportunity to enjoy one of the most remarkable settings Germantown has to offer. Professional photo's will be uploaded on Wednesday.
