Welcome home to your private estate in the sought after Paddocks neighborhood nestled in the rolling hills of Carroll County. This exceptional custom home began as a late 18th century bank barn before being transformed by one of Maryland's most esteemed home builders in 1991. Perched on the summit of its 3-plus acre property, the home offers spectacular views of beautifully fenced open space, pond and 10 acres of adjoining pastures. Inside you'll find over 4,500 square feet of living space in a sun-drenched open layout with gleaming wood floors, open ceilings, and unique features including exposed trusses and beams. The main level boasts a spacious gourmet kitchen, dining room and great room, along with a library/study and bedroom with ensuite bath. Two open staircases lead to the owners' suite with its own luxurious ensuite bath, two additional bedrooms with an adjoining bath, and a loft open to the first floor. The walk-out lower level features a recreation area, full bath, workroom, and plenty of natural light. Outside you'll find incredible landscaping, a pond, multiple decks, and a gazebo. Recent updates include 50-year architectural shingle roof, insulated Certain-Teed CedarBoard siding, windows, and HVAC. The property will accommodate up to two horses who will enjoy the barn with water, electricity, stalls, and storage. A second accessory building with full bath and kitchen offers lots of potential uses including art studio, gym, or home office, and comes with tons of dry storage on the lower level. While you'll love the rural sense of this property, you will appreciate the ample shopping, dining and services within a few miles, along with the proximity to numerous creeks and streams, trails, wineries/breweries and historic sites.
