146 Durham Estates Drive

Imagine being home for the holidays, welcoming loved ones around the table, gathering by the fire, and looking forward to a summer spent beside your own pool. Built in 2021 and filled with custom upgrades that go well beyond the basics of new construction, 146 Durham Estates Drive offers five bedrooms, three and a half baths, and one beautiful acre in Sharpsburg. White brick, board and batten siding, layered gables, and decorative wood accents create inviting modern farmhouse curb appeal. Warm wood columns frame the covered front porch, while black-framed windows and lantern-style exterior lighting provide crisp contrast. A sodded lawn with an irrigation system creates a beautiful setting from the moment you arrive. Inside, hardwood floors flow through the living spaces, bedrooms, and hallways, bringing warmth and continuity to the home, with no carpet anywhere. Thoughtfully selected statement lighting adds elegance throughout, from the dining room and primary suite chandeliers to the circular chandelier beneath the vaulted family room ceiling and lantern-style pendants above the kitchen island. Just off the foyer, French doors open to the dining room, where custom board and batten sets a beautiful backdrop for holiday meals and conversations that linger long after dinner. Continue into the family room, where an upgraded 42-inch fireplace with a brick surround and cedar mantel anchors the space. Modern linear wall sconces beside the fireplace and along the hallway cast a soft glow, creating a welcoming atmosphere as evening settles in. The family room connects comfortably to the kitchen and breakfast area, keeping everyone part of the conversation while meals come together. White cabinetry, upgraded quartz countertops, a full quartz riser behind the cooktop, and a custom range hood give the kitchen a polished finish. The island's board and batten detailing adds character, while seating offers a place for casual breakfasts or company while you cook. A pullout spice rack, pullout trash cabinet, custom stackable drawers, and a bump-out at the cooktop make everyday preparation more convenient, complemented by an upgraded dishwasher, cooktop, wall oven, and refrigerator. In the adjoining breakfast area, views overlooking the backyard pool invite slow mornings with coffee and relaxed weekend meals before an afternoon by the water. The split-bedroom layout places the primary suite on its own side of the main level, offering a peaceful escape with backyard views, a tray ceiling, and an elegant chandelier. The primary ensuite features double vanities with room for two to get ready comfortably, a soaking tub, a separate tiled shower, upgraded plumbing fixtures, and a private enclosed toilet room. A spacious walk-in closet completes the suite. Across the home, two additional main-level bedrooms share a bath with separate vanity areas, and one bedroom includes built-in shelving and a desk for studying or working from home. A nearby laundry room and powder room add everyday convenience. Stained oak stair treads lead upstairs to two more bedrooms and a full bath with a double vanity, creating comfortable accommodations for overnight guests or flexible space for hobbies and work. Shiplap in the second-floor hallway adds custom character, while upgraded door hardware, bathroom fixtures, and comfort-height toilets with soft-close lids carry the attention to detail throughout the home. Outside, the covered rear porch extends the gathering space, inviting you to carry dinner outdoors, watch a game with friends, or unwind beside the exterior brick fireplace. With room for comfortable seating and the inground pool just steps away, it's an inviting place to spend an afternoon or host friends for the evening.
