Got Space? Want it? By putting this on your list of homes to tour, you just may have found it! This custom built rancher sits on a beautiful, level, and cleared 3 acre lot in the Delmar School District, just west of downtown. The size of this lot and surrounding lots allows all owners in this area a sense of privacy. With a huge front yard and even bigger backyard, this pretty much blank canvas could be the new home you've been looking for! As you turn into the long paved driveway, it will be obvious to you that this house has been well maintained. Small details like a well manicured lawn and bushes, shiny porch railings, clean brick and block front, fresh looking siding and roof, black vent grills on foundation, and bricked flooring on the porch add to the curb appeal of 8333 Delmar Rd. These little things all add up to one big thing which is pride of ownership. Stepping in through the sun filled storm door, you will be pleasantly surprised by the vaulted ceilings in the large front living room. Once again, space is what you will experience in this room. There is an attached studio/office/music room to the front living room which can stay open or easily closed for privacy. As you continue exploring, you will come upon the hub of the house. The kitchen, dining, and second living area are located in the back of the house. There are multiple ways for you to add your style and touch to this area to make it work for you. There are plenty of cabinets and counter space for preparing meals, plenty of space to configure your seating arrangement for dining, and more than enough space to layout your ideas in this second living room. Half of this area also has vaulted ceilings which adds to the open concept feeling. A glance out the sliding doors and you will notice a good size composite deck which overlooks your 2 acres of cleared backyard space. Have I mentioned spacious yet? There are 3 well sized bedrooms, one with an en suite, all with plenty of storage and windows. Also, there is a shared bathroom in the hallway in this section of the house. A nice size laundry/mudroom and an attached 2 car garage complete the inside of this 1,800 sq ft home. For extra storage, there are 2 sheds in the backyard which are in great shape. The larger of the two was handcrafted locally and has potential for electric. There is plenty of room to add a detached garage/pole building/pole barn on this over sized lot if you so desired. The NICE thing about this house is the current space it has and the future options it allows you to add. The GREAT thing about this house is the price and how you may be able to add those ideas sooner than later! Opportunity is knocking, who is going to answer the call?

AR-1
Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of these districts is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural lands, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectional, hazardous and unsightly uses. They should also protect established agricultural operations and activities. These districts are also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas and scenic values and, at the same time, to provide for low-density single-family residential development, together with such churches, recreational facilities and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. The AR regulations seek to prevent untimely scattering of more-dense urban uses, which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public services.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Greenhouse / nursery
Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
