Welcome to the resort. It just happens to be a house. Sited on a private 3.25 acre lot, the home is tucked perfectly between DC and Baltimore. It sits under an hour to either skyline, yet a world away from both. No neighbors crowding your view, no compromises on the life you actually want to live. KUBE Architecture didn't renovate this home, they rewrote it. A floating staircase that stops conversations, white oak hardwood underfoot, heated bathroom floors: luxury you feel before you even see it. Six bedrooms, 4 full baths, 2 half baths, and a 3-car garage, all completely reimagined with no expense spared. Walk in on the main level and a soaring double height ceiling welcomes you into the living room, where an iconic architectural floor-to-ceiling glass wall frames your serene forest views. A chef's kitchen anchors the space, with custom cabinetry, top-of-the-line appliances, and an open layout built for the nights when everyone ends up in the kitchen anyway. Two private offices give you room to focus, and an additional bedroom rounds out the level. Head upstairs and the primary suite makes its own case for buying this house. An oversized walk-in closet, a private deck overlooking the woods, and a bathroom that feels airlifted in from the Ritz. Three additional bedrooms and two more baths complete the level. Downstairs, the lower level is built for entertaining at scale. A sprawling space designed for a crowd so the party never has to choose between inside and out. A guest bedroom is tucked down here too, for when the night runs late and no one wants to leave. Outside, the resort lifestyle continues: a heated pool with a stone diving board that belongs on a postcard, an outdoor kitchen for the host who never wants the night to end, a screened porch for slow mornings and long nights, a professional putting green, and a fully equipped in-home gym. There is nothing else like it in the area. Custom, sleek, and completely move-in ready, a true alternative to new construction without the wait. Total privacy and ultimate convenience. This is the Clarksville home everyone will be talking about. Get there before someone else calls it home.
