Perched at the top of a hill on the very edge of Prince George's County, this Aquasco home has a very welcoming atmosphere. With plenty of space, privacy and an amazing view, it's a getaway right at home.

The house itself is surrounded by landscaping and a wraparound covered porch. Entering the side door leads into an alcove with windows lining the wall, which is just outside the kitchen.

The kitchen itself is a large space, with wood cabinets. A natural wood chair rail surrounds the room and runs throughout the first floor. Inset lighting is overhead, with track lighting above the gas stove. The floor is laminate hardwood. A set of double doors lead out from the kitchen onto a covered back porch.

Next to the kitchen, arched doorways serve as entrances and exits to the dining room.

The family room is a long space with inset lighting overhead and large windows overlooking the front. To the side of the room is a large brick wood-burning fireplace with rounded edges and a large wooden mantle overtop. There is a full bathroom just off the family room with a pedestal sink and hardwood floors.

The laundry room is also adjacent to the living room, with laundry chutes from above.

A door from the laundry room leads back out onto the wraparound porch on the side of the home, where there is a built-in outdoor grill. In the front of the home, there is a large office, with a wide window looking out into the front yard where there is an outdoor fire pit with seating surrounding it.

Up on the second floor, there are three bedrooms. The two bedrooms in the front of the home both contain walk-in closets as well as mounted television stands on the walls. The hall bathroom is a full bathroom, with the toilet and combined shower and bath separated from the large vanity to allow for more privacy.

The master bedroom is the largest room, located just above the kitchen. It features the same bump-out and windows from the floor below. It features two large closets as well as a private full bathroom.

Doors lead out onto a private second floor deck looking out over the view below.

The home's basement is finished, with one large recreation room, which could be adapted for many different purposes. A storage room here contains the utilities as well as a wood burning stove, which is connected to the ductwork of the home.

The final basement room is currently being used as a gym, but is being altered into an additional bedroom.

The home has a number of useful amenities, while it has central heating and air conditioning; it also features the wood-burning stove and a whole house fan system as an alternative to regulate the heating and cooling. There is also an additional outdoor storage room accessible from outside as well as a half-acre fenced in dog run and the separate oversized two-car garage.

The five-acre lot is covered in trees and offers plenty of space and freedom, as well as a bit of privacy; however, although it seems remote, the home is only a 20-minute drive from a Metro rail station.

This home is a comfortable and peaceful place for a family to live.
