Rare opportunity to purchase Cedar Top - one of the original homes in the heart of Ruxton. This is one of the largest properties in Ruxton, total 4.04 acres, with possible subdivision rights. The driveway connects 2 existing houses - 1919 Ruxton Road and 1740 Circle Road both on the same parcel of land. The main house (1919 Ruxton Road) is 5,419 sq. ft. It was built in 1896 as a summer home and was expanded in the 1920s to become a full-time residence. The main house includes an elevator with mahogany paneling and a dumbwaiter. Most of the home’s original features still remain including claw foot bathtubs, vintage light fixtures, transom windows, bas relief sculptures above 2 of the 9 fireplaces, and extensive built-in bookcases. The main house is ideal for entertaining, with a living room, a library, a dining room, a sunroom, a large kitchen/family room with an open floor plan, and a slate terrace. The main house also has a beautiful sleeping porch, 2 staircases, 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths and 2 half baths. The gardens boast several Maryland Champion trees, and the swimming pool is 10 feet deep. A lovely 1,414 sq. ft. guest cottage (1740 Circle Road) has 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, and it could be used as a home office or an in law suite. Truly a one-of-a-kind property, with only two owners since 1896. By appointment only.

DR 1
Density Residential, 1.0 dwelling unit per acre
The D.R. zoning classifications are established, pursuant to the legislative findings set forth above, in order to: Foster a greater variety in housing types within future residential developments; Allow more feasible preservation of natural features and induce the reservation of ample and more suitably designed open spaces and parks, in order to better satisfy the needs of residents without economic disadvantage to developers; Allow greater flexibility in subdivision-development planning and provide for the inducement of more creative as well as more economic approaches to residential development, with the goal of desirable and distinctive identity and character of individual residential locales; Provide the means to satisfy differing housing-market requirements without rezoning, and thus without disruptive changes in density potential; Provide for the application of residential zoning classifications in a manner more nearly in accord with comprehensive plans and comprehensive-planning goals and Provide greater certainty about dwelling types and densities within existing communities with the goal of conserving and maintaining these areas.
