Description
Secluded Luxury Meets Everyday Comfort – .39 Private Acres of Serenity Welcome to 451 Foster Branch Rd, an exceptional retreat where space, privacy, and comfort harmonize beautifully. Tucked away on a quiet, no-through street, this stone-front home offers 4,400 finished square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on .39 acres of wooded tranquility—a rare opportunity for those who crave both sophistication and seclusion. From the moment you arrive, the charming stone façade, lush mature trees, and a koi pond set a peaceful tone. Step inside the two-story foyer, filled with natural light from the large transom window, and feel the warmth of a home that has been freshly painted and meticulously updated for its next owner. The heart of the home is the sunken family room, featuring windows on three sides, vaulted ceilings, recessed lighting, and a cozy stone gas fireplace. A sunroom with its own heating and cooling extends the living space year-round, while multi-level decks with a motorized awning invite you to unwind outdoors and enjoy the serene backdrop of dense woodlands. The spacious kitchen and breakfast area are designed for both cooking and gathering, with granite counters, a large center island, stainless steel appliances, a 5-burner gas cooktop and a double wall oven. French doors connect the kitchen to the sunroom, living room, and outdoor entertaining areas, making the flow seamless. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite features two walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath, complete with a garden tub, a glass-enclosed shower, and a .double vanity. Three additional bedrooms, all with brand-new plush carpet and wood slat blinds, share a well-appointed hall bath. The walkout basement expands the possibilities with a fifth bedroom/bonus room or office, a full bathroom, a gym/fitness area, and a game room, creating endless flexibility for guests, hobbies, or work-from-home needs. Every major system has been cared for—a new roof and gutter guards in 2020, brand-new carpet throughout, and a fully finished basement with all-new finishes. Even the practical details are thoughtfully designed, including a main-level laundry room conveniently located off the kitchen. And while the property feels like a private hideaway, you’re still just minutes from conveniences, major routes, and water access along the Gunpowder River and Chesapeake Bay.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
