A luxury home in Gaithersburg’s Kentlands neighborhood has officially sold for $3.8 million, setting a new record as the highest home sale in Kentlands and Lakelands history.
The property at 127 Thurgood Street was originally listed for $4.25 million in April, making headlines at the time as the highest-priced listing ever in the community. The sale far surpasses the previous neighborhood record of $1.565 million, nearly doubling the highest price ever paid for a home in Kentlands or Lakelands.
Listing agent Tina Nader of TTR Sotheby’s International Realty said the record-setting sale reflects the evolution of the neighborhood’s luxury market. “This sale isn’t just a record for one home, it’s evidence that Kentlands has matured into a market where truly exceptional properties can command prices that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago,” Nader said. “While there were certainly skeptics early on, I believed this home deserved to be positioned differently, and my role was to ensure it was presented in a way that allowed the market to fully recognize its value. When the right strategy, thoughtful positioning, and the right buyer come together, remarkable outcomes are possible.”
She added that homeowners throughout Kentlands and Lakelands have already begun reaching out following news of the sale. “Since news of the sale began circulating, I’ve heard from several Kentlands and Lakelands homeowners who are curious about what this new benchmark could mean for the market. I think that’s a natural reaction whenever a community sees a sale that redefines expectations, and I hope it encourages homeowners to think differently about what’s possible for truly exceptional homes here. Ultimately, the most important part of this transaction is that my clients achieved an outcome they were thrilled with. That’s always the goal.”
Built in 2020 by Mitchell & Best, the approximately 11,500 SF home spans four finished levels on a rare 0.41-acre lot. Features include a private indoor aquatic center with a resistance pool, a wellness wing with an infrared sauna and gym, a four-season room with heated floors, hidden passageways, a yoga studio concealed behind a bookshelf, and a barrel-vaulted wine café connected to a custom wine cellar and entertainment suite.
When the home first hit the market, Nader described it as “a category of one,” saying it offered a level of luxury and design not previously seen within the Kentlands community. The sellers previously shared that while leaving Kentlands was a difficult decision, they planned to relocate to Park City to pursue a longtime dream while remaining grateful for the community they called home.
