Situated on just over half an acre with million‑dollar mountain vistas, this architecturally refined residence reads like a modern classic — a photogenic study in texture, light and proportion. The house is a modern, neo‑eclectic suburban composition that marries Craftsman/Shingle and English (Tudor/Cottage) influences: stone‑veneer first floor, wood/shake siding in the gables, and steep gables and dormers that recall both Craftsman and English revival traditions. The exterior’s stacked stone facade sets the tone, promising a sense of permanence and quiet luxury the moment you arrive. Approach along a generous drive to discover an oversized attached two‑car garage, a detached two‑car garage, and a covered patio warmed by a fireplace that invites evening conversation beneath the stars. Step inside and the house reveals itself as an experience rather than merely square footage. Almost 6,500 square feet of living space unfolds beneath soaring cathedral ceilings, where a floor‑to‑ceiling stacked stone fireplace anchors a luminous living room. A wall of glass in almost every room dissolves the boundary between interior and landscape, drawing the million‑dollar panorama deep into the home and bathing gleaming hardwood floors in ever‑changing light. Fresh, neutral paint and newly installed light fixtures provide an edited backdrop for art and furnishings, while radiant floor heating adds a layer of everyday luxury and comfort. The kitchen is a refined workroom for daily life and entertaining alike: a cooktop anchored in a center island, double wall ovens, expansive granite counters and a generous pantry make it both beautiful and eminently functional. Adjacent, a generous mud room accessed from the garage organizes arrivals with ease. Every level is thoughtfully composed. The main floor hosts the elevated primary suite — a true retreat with an updated bathroom and a massive walk‑in closet — plus a convenient main‑floor laundry. Above the primary suite sits a private second‑floor loft ideal for a secluded office. A second laundry on the upper level adds rare convenience for family living. Upstairs, three large bedrooms occupy the second level: two with their own walk‑in closets, two sharing a well‑appointed Jack‑and‑Jill bath, and an additional bonus room offering flexible space for study or play. One bedroom has its own private bathroom. The lower level continues the experience with a sprawling game room, transition space, another bonus room, and a full bathroom — ideal for media, recreation or guests. Four large bedrooms, 4.5 baths and meticulous finishes throughout position this as one of the county’s most luxurious properties, located minutes from a major interstate, Frostburg State University, modern conveniences, and only 30 minutes from Deep Creek Lake. This is a home that photographs beautifully and feels even better in person — a magazine‑worthy synthesis of architecture, landscape and everyday grace.
