Do you want to feel like you’re on vacation every day—and enjoy effortless one-level living? This may be the one. This classic rambler in Washington Grove has been thoughtfully renovated and expanded to blend charm with modern comfort. Set on a 22,295 sq ft lot, with an additional 13,648 sq ft front parcel included—both parcels convey with the sale—the property offers a rare combination of space, flexibility, and long-term value. The front lot would need to go through the subdivision process if you wanted to build on it.

The addition introduces both a sun-drenched dining room with floor-to-ceiling windows—seamlessly bringing the outdoors in—and a beautifully updated primary suite featuring a spa-inspired en-suite bath with dual vanities and a walk-in closet. Main-level laundry adds everyday ease, while two additional bedrooms and a flexible bonus space—ideal as an office or den—offer versatility for today’s lifestyle. The full lower level provides abundant storage and space for hobbies, fitness, or future expansion. Step outside to a private deck off the family room—ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings. Nature truly surrounds you here, with the home adjacent to protected woods owned by the Town of Washington Grove. With nearly 100 acres of parkland and a private swimming lake, Washington Grove offers a rare, close-knit community atmosphere. Enjoy beloved traditions like Music Weekend, the 4th of July Parade, Summer in the Parks, and Labor Day festivities—all part of the town’s unique charm.
