Letter from Seller

Dear Prospective Homebuyer,

Welcome to 12160 Hidden Brook Terrace!

Twenty-eight years ago, we walked through the front door of this house for the first time, hoping it would be the place where we would build our family's future. We couldn't have imagined just how many wonderful memories would be created here. This has been our home for the past 28 years—a place where we celebrated birthdays and holidays, welcomed friends and family, watched the seasons change, and found comfort in the simple moments of everyday life.

The heart of our home has always been the completely remodeled kitchen. It has been the gathering place for family meals, holiday baking, and countless conversations. We especially love how it connects so naturally to the deck. Many mornings began there with a cup of coffee, listening to birdsong and looking out over the peaceful, dense woods behind the house. It is a view that changes beautifully with every season. On the other side, the kitchen opens into the living room, where the cozy fireplace has warmed many winter evenings filled with laughter, books, and family movie nights.

Our completely remodeled primary bathroom became our own little retreat—a quiet place to begin and end each day. We designed it to be both beautiful and comfortable, and it has been a space we have truly appreciated.

The walkout basement has always felt like an extension of nature. Opening toward Muddy Branch Park, it provides easy access to green space and beautiful scenery throughout the year. Whether taking a walk, watching wildlife, or simply enjoying the peaceful surroundings, we've always felt fortunate to have nature just beyond our back door.

One of the greatest gifts this home has given us is its setting. Hidden Brook Terrace is tucked away in a quiet, no-through-traffic community, where the streets are peaceful and neighbors greet one another with a smile. It has been a wonderful place to come home to every day.

For families, the location is equally special. The home is within the attendance area for Quince Orchard High School and Jones Lane Elementary School, schools that have long been valued by the community.

We've also loved how easy it is to enjoy everything nearby. A short walk brings you to Aberdeen Park, Quince Orchard Knolls Park, and the scenic Muddy Branch Trail, where we've enjoyed walks through every season. Everyday errands have always been convenient as well, with a public library and shopping centers within walking distance that include Safeway, CVS, Starbucks, banks, restaurants, gas stations, and many other neighborhood favorites.

Leaving this home is not easy. After 28 wonderful years, it holds a lifetime of memories for our family. But life brings new chapters, and ours is taking us to Germantown, where we are retiring and looking forward to being closer to our son's workplace and spending more time together as a family.

As we prepare to hand over the keys, our greatest hope is that another family will love this home as much as we have. We hope you'll create your own traditions around the kitchen table, enjoy peaceful mornings on the deck, gather around the fireplace on chilly evenings, explore the nearby parks and trails, and fill these rooms with laughter, love, and memories that last for years to come.

Thank you for visiting 12160 Hidden Brook Terrace. We hope that as you walk through each room, you'll feel what we felt all those years ago—that this isn't simply a house, but a place that truly feels like home.

With our warmest wishes,

Sincerely,

Mindy and Steven
