Welcome to 14228 Cervantes Avenue, a stunning Winchester-built estate nestled on a tranquil and picturesque two-acre lot in the heart of Darnestown. Boasting 6,304 square feet across three beautifully designed levels, this home blends elegance, comfort, and modern luxury, offering an unparalleled lifestyle in a serene yet convenient setting. From the moment you arrive, the striking stucco and stone façade, complemented by a flagstone-covered front porch, sets the stage for the exceptional craftsmanship within. Step into the grand two-story foyer, where recently installed hardwood floors flow seamlessly throughout the main level, staircase, upstairs foyer, and primary suite. The renovated gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring top-of-the-line Subzero, Wolf, and KitchenAid appliances, quartzite countertops and backsplash, a built-in microwave, warming drawer, hot water tap, motion-sensor faucet, and a stylish wet bar—perfect for entertaining. A generous sunroom extends off the kitchen, kept comfortable year-round with its own dedicated heat pump, making it the perfect spot to sip morning coffee while enjoying breathtaking views of the lush backyard. Designed with both elegance and convenience in mind, the main level also boasts a front and back staircase, a spacious formal dining room ideal for hosting memorable gatherings, a formal living room with double French doors leading to the covered front porch, and a stunning family room with vaulted ceilings and a striking stone fireplace. A private office with custom built-in bookshelves and recessed lighting sits just off the foyer, offering a sophisticated workspace. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite offers a private retreat with a spacious sitting area, walk-in closet, and spa-like ensuite featuring a separate jetted tub, standing shower, dual vanities, and a private water closet. Three additional large bedrooms complete the upper level—one with its own private ensuite and two connected by a Jack and Jill bath with a separate bath/shower area and dual vanity. The fully finished basement is an entertainer’s dream, boasting a custom bar and rec room, a temperature-controlled wine cellar with an adjacent tasting room, a home theater for movie nights, a private bonus room, and a den currently used as a sleeping area. A custom full bath and convenient walk-up exit complete this versatile lower level. Step outside and experience the beauty of this expansive two-acre lot, a peaceful oasis where you can unwind, entertain, and embrace the outdoors. The flat upper-level backyard is ready for your vision—whether it's a sport court, pool, or garden retreat. A flagstone patio provides the perfect backdrop for outdoor dining, summer barbecues, or simply relaxing under the stars. Additional highlights include: three-zone heating and air conditioning with gas heating, a large three-car garage with built-in cabinets and a custom epoxy floor, perfect for your luxury vehicles, a brand-new 50-year-rated architectural shingle roof (October 2024), upgraded James Hardie plank siding, and energy-efficient windows. While this home offers a private, peaceful escape, it's also ideally situated just minutes from top-rated schools, local parks, and premier shopping and dining. Enjoy easy access to major commuter routes including I-270, Route 28, and the ICC, making travel to Rockville, Bethesda, and Washington, D.C. a breeze. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the nearby hiking and biking trails, golf courses, and equestrian facilities, while everyday conveniences are just a short drive away. This exceptional home offers not just a place to live, but a lifestyle to love—where luxury, tranquility, and convenience come together in perfect harmony.
