Welcome to 8034 Park Overlook Drive, ideally located on one of the most desirable streets in the sought after Carderock Springs community. Tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac and perched on a beautifully wooded 17,000+ square foot lot, this expanded Clubview mid-century modern home combines timeless architecture, flexible living spaces, and the natural beauty that makes Carderock so special. With 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, two bonus rooms, and a rare two-car garage, this home lives comfortably like a 5-bedroom home.
Step into the foyer where original wood paneling sets the mid-century tone. The main living spaces welcome you with soaring pitched ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors, and a wood-burning fireplace. The open living and dining areas flow seamlessly into the impressive sunroom — a true highlight of the home — featuring exposed wood beams, skylights, stone flooring, and walls of windows overlooking the lush greenery beyond.
The sleek updated kitchen, also complete with stone flooring, connects beautifully to both the dining room and sunroom, creating an ideal flow for everyday living and entertaining. Sliding glass doors from the sunroom open to the stunning elevated deck, built in 2020, where integrated ambient lighting creates the perfect evening setting. The deck wraps around to additional outdoor seating areas overlooking the expansive side yard, winding pathways, and a cozy fire pit tucked among the trees. Much attention has been devoted to the design of the garden, which has been meticulously maintained for many years. True to Carderock’s character, the grounds offer a peaceful retreat filled with mature trees, nature, and endless potential for gardening, entertaining, or simply relaxing outdoors.
The split-level design enhances the home’s versatility. On the upper level, you’ll find three bedrooms and two baths, including a primary suite with an ensuite bath. All three upper-level bedrooms feature skylights, filling the spaces with natural light and enhancing the home’s signature mid-century character. The lower level features a spacious family room with sliding glass doors leading out to the flat grassy yard, along with an additional bedroom and full bath. The second lower level further expands the home’s flexibility with two bonus rooms — ideal for a guest space and a home office— as well as an additional recreation/family room and laundry area.
Living in Carderock Springs offers a unique lifestyle centered around nature, recreation, and community.
