Wooded Hillside Retreat in Waldorf, MD - Top 10% and Guest favorite elsewhere

Welcome to our spacious family home in Charles County, Maryland. Nestled in a quiet neighborhood on a serene, wooded lot, this home was the backdrop to many happy memories as our children grew up. Now that our kids are grown and we've downsized, we’re excited to share this space with other groups and families, hoping they will create their own cherished memories here. Conveniently located just a few miles off Highway 210, our property offers quick access to DC and Northern Virginia via the Beltway. It’s an ideal spot for exploring the Metro DC area while enjoying the peace and quiet of our wooded lot. ________________________________________ Home Layout: This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home is perfect for family vacations, staff retreats, or group getaways.
