Unique opportunity to live in the country, but readily enjoy close proximity to the Washington DC Metro area. Enjoy the sunrise and sunsets in the one of a kind Montgomery County Agriculture Reserve (https://visitmontgomery.com/explore/ag-reserve/), surrounded by forests, fields and farmland, unencumbered by suburbia, and on a well-positioned lot. The refreshed house, on an expansive treed 2-acre lot, is adjacent to Seneca State Park, near to hiking and biking trails along Seneca Creek (https://dnr.maryland.gov/publiclands/documents/seneca_areamap.pdf) and less than 10 minutes to boat-accessible Seneca Creek and Riley’s Lock on the Potomac River and the associated C&O Canal Trail. Enjoy the fresh produce or U-pick at Homestead Farms (http://www.homestead-farm.net/) and taste the exceptional wines and venue of Rocklands Farm Winery (https://www.rocklandsfarmmd.com/), both close by. The house is within 25 miles to the great tourist sites and museums of DC, and yet close (15-30 minutes) to commercial/office centers including Gaithersburg, Rockville, and Frederick. One can truly work in the city and live in the country without a long commute. The MARC train station in Boyds is 6.5 miles away. The house is located in the Poolesville School District, which includes Poolesville High School (https://www.niche.com/k12/poolesville-high-school-poolesville-md/), ranked number one in the state of Maryland and near multiple nearby private schools as additional options. The house has readily divisible private living spaces with 3 floors, with 2 upstairs bedrooms with nice walk-in closets and a full bathroom, a main floor master bedroom and associated full bathroom, a main floor enclosed office, a living room, guest ½ bath, kitchen/dining that abuts to an upstairs deck, and good-sized laundry room. The basement can be “income-generating” as it has a separate entry with a full kitchen, outside patio, small living room and 4 rooms, two of which are nice bedrooms with windows. There is a full bathroom as well as a separate good sized laundry room. The windows look out into the beautiful large back yard. With ample parking, rental of the downstairs as a separate living space with separate kitchen, laundry and bathroom has worked well for previous occupants. Overall, this house has been refreshed to be move-in ready with upgraded bathrooms, windows, flooring, and kitchens, making this a very inviting and livable space to complement the unmatched rural setting. The expansive back yard is fenced, would make an ideal run for dogs with ample room for a large garden or chickens. Trade the noise of the city and wake up to the smell of honeysuckle and sound of wild turkeys, cardinals and watch the sunrise coming over the distant trees. Bring your bikes, hiking shoes, birding books, kayaks, and garden tools. We are sad to part with this treasure! Note: Sorry we have not been able to answer inquiries due to a family death.
