Welcome to 1676 Preakness Drive, a lovingly maintained Colonial tucked away on more than two private, wooded acres in the highly desirable Bretton Woods community of Gambrills. Surrounded by mature trees and beautiful natural scenery, this home offers the rare feeling of a private retreat while keeping shopping, dining, recreation, and major commuter routes just minutes away. Follow the tree-lined drive and step inside to a warm, inviting home that has been thoughtfully cared for and continually improved. Fresh paint throughout and new upstairs carpeting provide a refreshed backdrop, while generous living and dining spaces offer plenty of room to gather. The renovated kitchen, complete with KitchenAid appliances, flows naturally into the home's living areas, including a spacious family room anchored by a masonry fireplace. Step outside onto the expansive, newly refreshed deck and you'll quickly understand what makes this property so special. Overlooking a large, beautifully wooded backyard, it's an exceptional setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of more than two acres. The freshly painted front porch provides another welcoming spot to slow down and enjoy the surroundings. Upstairs, four bedrooms provide comfortable private spaces, complemented by an updated hall bath and renovated primary bath. The finished walkout lower level adds even more flexibility with additional living space and a full bath-ideal for recreation, a home office, fitness space, hobbies, or guests. The pool table, along with the Samsung washer and dryer, convey. Just as impressive is the care that's gone into the home over the years. Major improvements include Pella windows and sliding glass doors, a newer roof and siding, updated HVAC, a newer well pump and water heater, and a water conditioning system-offering the kind of meaningful updates that make this home as practical as it is inviting. All of this is tucked into Bretton Woods, an established Gambrills community where homes rarely become available. Enjoy easy access to MD-3, MD-32, MD-100, and I-97, with shopping, dining, and recreation nearby and Fort Meade, NSA, Annapolis, and Baltimore all within convenient reach. Private, peaceful, thoughtfully updated, and lovingly cared for-1676 Preakness Drive offers the space to spread out and a setting that feels worlds away from the everyday.
