The home at 20721 Bell Bluff Road presents a compelling case for buyers seeking genuine square footage in Montgomery County. At 2,862 interior square feet, the four-bedroom layout accommodates a range of living arrangements without compromise. The two-car garage and private paved driveway add practical value that is increasingly difficult to find at this price point.

Built in 1977, the residence carries the structural character of mid-century Montgomery County construction — generous room proportions, defined living areas, and a lot configuration that provides meaningful separation from neighboring properties. The half-bath on the main level and two full baths above serve the four-bedroom program efficiently.

Gaithersburg’s position within Montgomery County places this home near the I-270 technology corridor, a concentration of federal contractors, biotech employers, and professional services firms that define the submarket’s economic base.

1977 Construction Character
Built in 1977, the home sits within an established residential corridor where lot sizes and setbacks provide a sense of scale rarely found in newer subdivisions. The defined layout separates living, dining, and sleeping areas in a manner that supports a variety of daily routines.
