    What's special

    Wake up to birds singing, open sky, and a view you almost never find in a Frederick rental. Tucked within the Linganore Creek Wildlife Sanctuary, this fully renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers a rare opportunity to live surrounded by 125 acres of intentionally recreated native wildlife habitat along Linganore Creek. The setting was designed to support birds, pollinators, and native habitat, making it an especially strong fit for birders, naturalists, gardeners, and anyone who appreciates privacy, quiet, and the outdoors. Inside, the home is bright, clean, and thoughtfully updated with new ecoLite double-hung windows, a mini-split heat pump, washer and dryer, all-new flooring, and a comfortable layout with great natural light throughout. The living area feels open and peaceful, while the kitchen offers easy everyday function with room for casual dining. The large front porch is one of the home's best features, perfect for morning coffee, evening sunsets, and watching the sanctuary change with the seasons. Outside, the property includes a 20 x 25 workshop with electric and water, ideal for storage, hobbies, creative projects, gardening supplies, or a dedicated workspace. This is not a typical neighborhood rental, and that is exactly the point. For someone seeking space, scenery, quiet, wildlife, and a home that feels completely different from everything else on the market, this is one to see. No pets. No smoking. Credit check, references, and security deposit required.
