Work in the City, Live in the Country Gorgeous House with Separate In-Law Apartment! Live in the prettiest, most unique of small communities, where everybody knows everybody and the kids play outside all summer and after school. A hop, skip, and jump to the MARC train into DC, you can have easy access to the city without spending a minute of your life in traffic! Did we mention that the house itself is charmingly beautiful? Relax and enjoy sunrises and sunsets, views of mountains, rolling meadows, and big skies on any one of the three porches (one wrap around, one screened in, and one a second story sleeping porch!), or from the back garden patio, or from the many windows facing every direction. Watch the family lives of bluebirds and enjoy the sight of a picturesque red barn that sits on a hill above a gurgling stream. The house is situated on a half-acre lot with an incredible view shed amid acres of open space belonging to the community, with streams, trees, trails, a pond, barns, a playground, a community garden, and attractive gravel roads. Imagine living in a place where the snow stays clean until it melts, and winter mornings are so pretty you don't mind the cold. It's cool and breezy on summer mornings and evenings, and you'll choose to open your windows, even though you have air-conditioning, because of the breezes and birdsong. Eat dinner on the screened-in porch from April to October. The master suite is on the first floor. Upstairs, find another large bedroom and a huge loft that makes a fabulous bedroom, or if you prefer, a family room or office. Sleep on the second floor sleeping porch and breathe the cleanest, healthiest air your lungs have ever known and experience the night sounds and the stars and the incredible shows that storms put on while you are snug in your bed. The lower level is a complete apartment with a separate entrance for your parent or older child. Its kitchen view will inspire home cooking and the huge bedroom and bath feel luxurious. It even has a small study area! The kitchen, bathrooms, and lower level have custom tiles, cabinets, and fixtures. The rest of the floors are reclaimed walnut, and all the windows in the house are trimmed with custom woodwork. Ceilings are high (9' or cathedral), and doorways are wide and universally accessible. Located in an environmentally-oriented community, this house was designed by a renowned environmental architect who capitalized on passive solar, and insisted on toasty under-floor radiant heat, a geothermal heat pump, and on the best, most sustainable materials. You will have the opportunity to participate and contribute to the running of the community and its social life. This is a gorgeous home, on a gorgeous site, in a fabulous community. Enjoy your new everyday life on vacation! Owners pay utilities. Credit check required.
