The split-level contemporary home offers all of the features today's buyers seek, but the real draw to this property is the community: large, shade trees; quiet paths for jogging or dog walking; three lakes with several sandy beaches; and several pools.

Lake Linganore boasts more nature-lover options than most neighborhoods in Frederick County.

Located on a country road in a close-knit subdivision of Lake Linganore, this home is surrounded by large trees and lush perennials that grow throughout the yard, including the fenced backyard where a shed, swing set and two-tiered wood patio convey.

The patio has enough space for a grill, a large table set and additional chairs.

The glass-accented front door opens to a split foyer with hardwood floors that continue upstairs. A hand-painted mural created by a local artist decorates the entire foyer. A cathedral ceiling opens up the formal living room. Double windows overlook the front yard.

Adjacent, the country kitchen features chair rail, ceramic-tile backsplash, plentiful cabinets and a large pantry. With extra space for a large table, the room can handle big gatherings. Newer appliances convey. French doors open to the two-tiered patio.

Along a hall, a full bath has been recently renovated, and the bedrooms all feature warm hardwood floors. Both smaller bedrooms have double-door closets and ceiling fans. One room features another hand-painted mural done in a whimsical children's theme.

The master suite boasts a cathedral ceiling, a double window with scenic views of the backyard and a full bathroom lined with ceramic tile.

Downstairs, the basement has been fully finished and covered in a decorate tile floor.

The family room offers a cozy spot to relax, with chair rail accents and full windows. A decorative shelf also adds a nice touch.

Another full bath is nearby. A large bedroom just off of the family room is lined with Berber carpet, and a full-sized window allows sunlight to stream through. There also is a closet here.

This level includes a laundry room with extra storage and a door to the one-car, attached garage.

More storage is also available beneath the stairs.
