8423 YELLOW SPRINGS ROAD, FREDERICK, MD 21702

WETA (PBS) *just* finished filming this amazing home for an episode of If You Lived Here. There is so much to say about this fine, unique, and professionally staged property. Nearly 2 acres  with  acres of permanent adjacent open green space all around - feels like 4-5 acres! This home offers the absolute best of all worlds: A beautiful home with significant modern updates at nearly 5000 finished square feet on the main two levels.  The grounds also offer the best of all worlds: This property is the homestead of the original Keller farm, most of which is now Kellerton subdivision. This home includes a large three-bay garage, ample extra parking, an amazing covered summer kitchen with built-in masonry grill and chimney for big family reunions or barbecues, and a charming old 3-level Spring House. (Legend has it that the Spring House was once a toll house for those wishing to proceed on Yellow Springs road, strongly suggested by the 3- level aspect of the building.) Inside the home, you will find very large rooms everywhere, including a 29’ x 26’ two-story beamed Family Room with wood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, built-in Bar area with mini fridge, a gorgeous 3-sided window seat nook with mountain views, and two ceiling fans. This room can comfortably hold lots of furniture, the biggest screen TV possible, a pool table, and with room to spare. The kitchen  includes a 3-sided windowed breakfast nook, granite counter tops, a spacious island, subzero fridge, lighted coffee station, and more. New washer and dryer, plus a laundry chute, in the main level laundry room. A huge 23 x 19 addition was added with a cathedral ceiling, two skylights, an entire wall of lighted built-ins, and floor to ceiling windows. There is a separate exterior entrance as well.  This space is ideal for those working from home, with or without visiting clients. It could also be easily used as an amazing main level bedroom, or in-law/au pair suite. The front foyer, living room, dining room, and original turned staircase harken back to 1900 when the original part of the house was built. Original wood floors and period-style interior window shutters are charming details. The main front staircase, as well as the rear staircase from the family room, lead to the VERY spacious bedrooms. An 8’ by 14’ gallery overlooks the family room just outside the primary bedroom. A room-size walk-in closet, newer 6’ custom ceramic shower, and dressing areas in both upstairs baths are great features. There is new carpeting in all of the bedrooms. The basement is unfinished, with walk-up to the rear yard through Bilco doors. Basement is dry, super-spacious, and has a brand new large capacity water heater. Plenty of room for a workshop, craft room, exercise area, etc.; and loads of storage space. Roof of house is about 7 years old. There are several heating zones; all air handlers and heat pumps have been replaced, with the oldest one being only about 8 years old. Most systems are new or newer. On the other side of Yellow Springs Rd from the house there will be a park/parkland.  Eventually, the house will be part of Kellerton with access to the pool, clubhouse, and other amenities, while being the largest property in the subdivision with nearly 2 acres AND 3+/- acres of green space buffers all around.
