973 Rue Main, Gaithersburg, Maryland, 20878

Welcome to 973 Main Street, a fully reimagined Bartholomew in the heart of Lakelands. This 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home blends modern farmhouse style with a rare walkable location: directly across from the community pool and clubhouse, and one block from the middle school. The renovation is complete and cohesive. New flooring, lighting, fixtures, bathrooms, built-ins, appliances, and millwork create a refined, livable home rather than a collection of upgrades. Wide-plank hardwoods, custom cabinetry, paneled ceilings, recessed lighting, and a double-sided fireplace carry the same design language from room to room.

The main level is built for both everyday living and entertaining. At the center is a chef’s kitchen with a dramatic 10’ x 5’ double-thick white quartz island, custom cabinetry, a 48-inch Miele range, 60-inch hood, premium appliances, two farmhouse sinks, wine and beverage coolers, and a massive walk-in pantry. Thoughtful extras include a custom dog faucet and built-in feeding station. The kitchen opens to the dining area, family room, screened porch, and outdoor living spaces. The formal living room has been converted into a stylish locker area. Custom built-ins also define the office and family room. A whole-home Sonos system and several wall-mounted TVs convey, so the house is ready from day one. The screened porch functions as a three-season room overlooking a Versatex deck with a natural-gas fire table, outdoor bar and kitchen, and built-in smoker.

Upstairs, four bedrooms on one level give families, guests, and home offices real flexibility. The renovated bathrooms continue the same finish palette. The upstairs Carrier furnace was replaced in 2023.

The full-height walkout lower level is configured as a self-contained suite with its own kitchen, living area, bedroom, full bath, and private entrance. It works well for extended family, an au pair, guests, a home office, or potential rental use, subject to community rules.

Skip the lawn. This home was built for outdoor living, not outdoor labor. A three-season screened porch opens to a Versatex deck with a natural-gas fire table, outdoor bar and kitchen, and built-in smoker — so weekends are for cooking, gathering, and lingering, not mowing, weeding, or feeding mosquitoes. When you want green space, the community pool and clubhouse are directly across the street, with parks and trails just beyond. You get the best of being outside, without the Saturday chore list that usually comes with it.

Behind the finishes, the home also received practical upgrades, including PVC drainage lines to the alley. Parks, trails, shops, and restaurants are a short walk away.

With four bedrooms upstairs, an independent lower-level suite, a serious chef’s kitchen, outdoor living designed for gatherings, integrated audio, conveying TVs, and one of Lakelands’ strongest locations, 973 Main Street is ready for its next owner. Schedule a private tour.
