Sitting at the end of a long road in a cul-de-sac, and on almost an acre and a half of land, this grand Upper Marlboro home is private and comfortable. There is a three-bay garage and a large, pillared entrance into the home.

Eight-foot-tall distressed Brazilian oak doors open into the elegant two-story foyer of the home. There is an ornate chandelier overhead, and hardwood floors throughout the first floor of the home. A curved staircase straight ahead leads up into the second floor. The walls here and throughout the home feature crown and panel molding, adding to its elegant feel. Directly back from the front foyer there is another foyer space leading out into the back of the home.

To the left of the entrance is a room surrounded by pillars. This is the home's formal living room, with large windows overlooking the front. Directly behind this room, a set of French doors lead into an office space, with more subdued color on the wall. Next to both of these rooms, on the side of the home, is the sun room, with tall windows all around the exterior walls and inset lighting overhead.

To the right of the entrance is the dining room, and behind that, the home opens out into the kitchen and family room. Just outside of the dining room is a small butler's pantry with a granite countertop. The family room has a two-story ceiling and tall windows to let in light. A gas fireplace sits in the center with a marble surround.

The kitchen is a wide, open space, with granite counter tops and a center island with a second sink. There is a stainless steel oven and dishwasher installed. Behind the kitchen there is a breakfast area, an open space with a large bay of windows overlooking the back.

There are two sets of stairs leading up into the second floor, one from the front of the home and one from the back. The hallway at the top is open, offering an overlook into the front foyer and into the family room. The space above the back foyer sits before a large window and would make an excellent reading area. There is a cutout in the hall floor leading up to this, visually breaking up the space.

There are four bedrooms on this floor. The first two are connected by a full bathroom with two sinks at the vanity and the rest of the bathroom behind a separate door for privacy. The third bedroom is in the front of the home, with its own private full bathroom.

A set of double doors leads into the master suite. The spacious bedroom has a sitting area near the back window with a gas fireplace separating the two. There are two large walk-in closets as well as a private bath. The enormous bathroom has a whirlpool tub, a separate walk-in shower and three sinks.

The home's basement is unfinished, but already has insulation on the walls and a rough-in for a bathroom. It has a walk-out exit as well as large windows letting in plenty of light.
