17220 Chiswell Road

Available February 1st. Early occupancy may be possible.

Small-town living with an easy commute to Gaithersburg/Rockville or the D.C. area — without the hassle of the I-270 corridor.

Walk up the stairs of this split-level to find the wide-open kitchen as the center of attention. The modern island has a gas range and quietly powerful exhaust hood. Two large farm sinks and ample stone countertops make cooking a joy. The built-in microwave is hidden in the island. Thoughtful custom cabinetry provides loads of space and double pull-out pantries with a handy broom closet for quick cleanups. Enjoy the morning sun coming through the bay window of the breakfast area or entertain at the island with a full view of the upper living area.

The master suite is your private retreat, with a zen feeling coming from the Japanese-inspired furnishings hand-made from locally-sourced maple, oak, and walnut. The theme carries through the master bathroom with travertine stone and a river rock floor — heated, of course. Relax in the shower with your choice of rain, spray, or body jets. Shave in total comfort. His shaving niche has side lighting and a fog-free mirror, and for her, there are foot-rests, grab bars and another niche for a razor. The tankless water heater means you’ll never run out of hot water, no matter who gets the last shower.

The second bedroom has two closets and crown moldings. Find your happy place in the third bedroom with a whimsical stepladder to a private reading nook with chalkboard walls. The upstairs bathroom includes a jetted tub for rest and relaxation, and the most epic bubble baths.

The lower level has a den with a walk-out to the back yard. There is a full bath with heated floor, and a fourth bedroom with plenty of space. The utility room has space for storage, and a workbench for hobby or crafting. The laundry hookups will accommodate a full-sized washer and gas or electric dryer. There is central A/C and a gas furnace with whole-house humidifier.

The two-car garage has extended-height doors and a full wall of cabinets and countertops; plenty of flexible shelving, and pulleys overhead to store bicycles or other outdoor equipment.

The fenced backyard has a deck off the upper level, with steps down to the saltwater swimming pool, raised garden beds, and storage shed.

Tenant pays all utilities. Pets are welcome (case by case). If tenants choose to use the swimming pool, they are responsible for maintenance of the pool, including opening and closing. Leased property includes a lawnmower, snow blower, string trimmer, pressure washer and emergency generator, but tenants are responsible for making sure they work if tenants wish to use them.
