12930 Travilah Rd, Potomac, MD 20854

Situated on a gentle bend along a picturesque stretch of Travilah Road, this classic farm estate evokes sensations of tranquility while being centrally located. Privately nestled far back from the street, the home is approached via a long driveway lined with mature trees, gracefully revealing a circular motor court which steps up to the gorgeous full fieldstone exterior. Traversing the wraparound front porch and passing through the refinished solid wood and glass main entry, it is immediately apparent that, although a quintessential farmhouse, the home has been fully modernized to suit today’s lifestyle demands. Significantly expanded and reworked throughout the years, the floor plan is now one which encompasses significant square footage with excellent flow between the beautifully proportioned spaces. Custom touches abound, such as the tastefully integrated shiplap trim, establishing a nautical theme and contrasting beautifully with a dark-stained staircase in the double-height foyer. Under the staircase is a thoughtfully designed custom bench which affords both utility and style. All interior doors are solid wood and are a testament to the quality of construction. The formal dining room is ample in scale and serves as the crossroads for the main level. Beyond it, a stunning great room with cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and walls of windows is a focal point of the home and offers direct outdoor access, while the floor-to-ceiling masonry fireplace instills warmth into the large open space. The skylit kitchen is fully modern, with tasteful cabinetry, a large center island, and stainless-steel appliances. The kitchen includes a cozy breakfast nook which harkens back to the home’s simple origins, juxtaposed by a capacious laundry/mudroom area with clever integrated storage solutions and a breezeway to the oversized three-car garage. The sumptuous primary suite is found on the other end of the main level and boasts cathedral ceilings, a private masonry fireplace, spa-inspired ensuite bath, and dual walk-in closets. A beautifully remodeled marble powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, four spacious bedrooms are served by three baths, one of which is a jack-and-jill which has been completely reimagined with bright tilework and luxurious gold Kohler Purist fixtures. The lower level offers additional living space via two large recreational spaces. The improvements go beyond the surface — throughout the home, new appliances, hardware, LED recessed lighting, added insulation, and refinished hardwood flooring all contribute to a well preserved and enhanced home. Fully fenced, the rear lawn boasts exquisitely landscaped grounds framing extensive hardscaping, an outdoor barbecue/kitchen area with stone fireplace, and a large in-ground pool, creating the perfect setting for large-scale entertaining and private outdoor living. Owing to its pedigree, a large barn and silo are unique touches found on the flat, usable, nearly three-acre property. Located in close-in Potomac within proximity to downtown Bethesda, Washington, Northern Virginia, and mere moments from numerous shopping and dining locations, not to mention belonging in renowned Wootton school district and nearby to several of the area’s most notable private schools -- 12930 Travilah Road is an estate unlike any other.
