About this home
A rare opportunity to live on Lake Serene - Welcome to your private lakefront retreat on Lake Serene, where lake-life meets timeless craftsmanship. Tucked among the trees on one of Frederick County's most sought after private lakes, this beautifully renovated waterfront home offers the perfect balance of luxury, recreation and everyday comfort. Completely transformed in 2016 with a 2-story addition and thoughtful modern updates throughout, the home features a stunning custom Chefs Kitchen with rich cherry cabinetry, elegant soapstone countertops, KitchenAid gas range and Viking range hood. The spacious main level offers bright rooms bathed in natural light, gleaming hardwood flooring all showcased with fresh neutral paint and bright white trim. This floorplan flows from room to room offering space for large gatherings while feeling intimate and private. The kitchen overlooks the beautiful family room with gorgeous windows and waterfront views. This is the perfect spot for movie night or watching the game. From here the floor plan flows to spacious dining room and living room with fireplace. Step out onto the Trex Deck which overlooks the lake. Enjoy the view with your morning coffee or evening cocktail. This is the place to be. Upstairs offers 3 bedrooms including the Primary Suite which has been completely updated with beautiful spa-inspired bath. With lake views, the primary suite offers privacy and generous closet space. The two additional bedrooms have a view of the pool and share a gorgeously remodeled hall bath. Laundry and powder room are also located on the main-level allowing for everyday living activities to happen on the upper floor. Move to the lower level to find game room or office, a huge recreation room, 2 additional bedrooms (one presently used as fitness room), another beautiful full bath, wet bar and storage areas. With just under 4000 finished square feet you have all the space you need to live and extra space for storage.

Extensive hardscaping; stamped concrete walkways and patio, and beautiful circular driveway with extra pull-offs, an oval in-ground heated pool, multiple outdoor entertaining spaces, and mature landscaping create a resort-like setting that's perfect for summer afternoons and evenings with views of the lake. A detached 2-bay garage also has a bonus room with fireplace which was originally utilized as an office now acts as a pool house.
Life at Lake Serene is about more than the home itself. Enjoy boating, kayaking, fishing, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing by the water. Homes on Lake Serene are exceptionally limited, with many properties remaining in the same families for generations. Even more uncommon is finding a home that has already been tastefully updated—allowing you to begin enjoying the lake lifestyle immediately instead of planning years of renovations.
The lake offers a boat launch area for residents only at the dam, walking paths & winter boat storage.
Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or the ultimate weekend escape, this exceptional waterfront property offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most desirable lake homes.
