It's clear this home wasn't left builder-basic. Every upgrade was selected to create an abode that's functional and refined. Continuous flooring extends throughout both levels, creating a seamless, contemporary look. A custom stone accent wall anchors the dining room, the kitchen offers ample room for cooking and gathering, with a private balcony steps away for morning coffee or winding down at the end of the day. An attached garage adds convenience and additional storage. The primary suite has tray ceilings, updated lighting and abundant closet space. The master bath feels like welcome retreat with an oversized soaking tub, separate shower and dual vanities. Rather than paying for someone else's paint choices, you'll have the freedom to personalize the space while enjoying upgrades that are far more difficult-and far more expensive-to add later. Life at Parklands at Watkins Mill extends well beyond your front door. Residents enjoy a clubhouse, pool, fitness center, tennis courts, playgrounds, walking trails, and well-maintained green spaces, all within the highly regarded Quince Orchard High School cluster. Minutes from Downtown Crown, Rio, Kentlands, the Spectrum Center, Shady Grove Metro, and I-270, the home is ideally positioned within Montgomery County's renowned I-270 Technology and Life Sciences Corridor. Enjoy convenient access to major employers including NIST, AstraZeneca, Novavax, Adventist HealthCare, the Universities at Shady Grove, NIH, and the region's growing biotechnology and research community. Character, meaningful upgrades, exceptional storage, an attached garage, outstanding amenities, and an unbeatable location come together in a home that leaves a lasting impression.
