13626 Fox Stream Way, West Friendship, MD 21794

This peaceful property is located on a premium cul-de-sac lot in the beautiful community of Fox Stream. Built by Selfridge with quality and the finest upscale details, this like-new property is simply impeccable in every way. A symphony of timeless exterior design elements includes a bold rusticated stone foundation and portico to announce entry, and classical columns embellished with loggia-styled arches that march along the side-loading garage, creating an architectural design language to be remembered and used as unifying elements throughout the graceful interior. Once inside, a sense of place is established as the arched transom over the front door streams light into the open foyer highlighting hardwood floors that seamlessly travel throughout the main level. The foyer is sided by living and dining formals marked by a pair of sweeping arches that are cased with strong moldings. The living room features a custom built-in bench inside the form of a bay window bump out along with plantation shutters to control privacy and light. In addition to the sweeping arches and window transoms, the main level rooms are articulated with multi-piece crown, designer lighting, fresh carpet and paint in light neutral tones. The formal dining room is ready to accommodate special gatherings and the large window is treated with custom dupioni silk draperies for a luxurious look and feel. The open plan seamlessly unfolds into the central family room that is defined by classical columns and a dramatic coffered ceiling. Daylight streams in through three sets of French doors that frame views of the lush green lawn fringed by trees whilst providing easy access to a low maintenance composite deck. A warm and wonderful gas fireplace is surrounded with rusticated stone at the center and is crowned by a multi-piece wood mantle. A wet bar and service pantry with a sink and beverage cooler is located conveniently next to the family room with a secondary door to the deck. The adjacent master chef’s kitchen has an extended entertainer’s island with a prep sink, microwave, warming drawer and designer pendants. The perimeter is wrapped with custom cabinetry, a designer back splash, and professional stainless Monogram appliances including a gas cook station and fridge with custom front cabinetry panels. On one side, the kitchen flows into a light-filled breakfast room, with atrium access to a lovely, screened porch that is perfect for summertime crab feasts! On the other side of the kitchen, a cased opening to an extended planning/ homework desk station, and mud room with cubby built-ins will accommodate students, backpacks, and year-round sports paraphernalia. A coat closet and second back stair are opposite the mud room and quietly rise to access a carriage house type private living quarters over the three-car garage that offers lifestyle options with a living area, bedroom, full bath and study area. An open, winding stair escorts you upstairs in the main house to a landing with remote window blinds, where there are four en-suite bedrooms with attached full baths and a laundry center. The primary suite is thoughtfully designed to accommodate sitting fireside by a wood-burning fireplace, and a tray ceiling with feature cove lighting. The primary suite is completed by a pair of walk-in closets, and a spa-like luxury bath with soaking tub, extended double vanity, built-ins and a generous walk-in shower wrapped in designer tile. Downstairs, the lower level continues to accommodate family and guests with endless flexibility. Enjoy a newly finished theater room, exercise room / guest bedroom, and full bath. Shoot a game of pool in the billiards area or walk out from the recreation room onto a covered stone patio. There are upgrades expressed with incredible detail at every turn and up-to-the-minute finishes throughout this very special property. When you find a design this graceful, you will just feel it, and you will know it is home!
