CALLING ALL NATURE LOVERS & OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS - THIS IS THE HOME FOR YOU! Rarely available 5 acres, nestled in the woods with the convenience of being right off Ilchester Road in Ellicott City. Imagine only having a quick commute before returning home and allowing your drive down your driveway to transport you to peace and tranquility. If sitting on the deck amongst the trees which flow right into Patapsco State Park isn’t enough, perhaps relaxing in the upper level solarium will do the trick. There are 3 large wood burning fireplaces to add warmth and ambiance during the cold winter months and plenty of trees to keep you cool during the heat of the summer. This 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bath home can use some updates but has great bones. The home is a split foyer style but situated so that the main door enters into a slate foyer on the main living level. Here you will find an eat-in kitchen, formal dining room, and living room with the first fireplace. On the upper level, the primary bedroom has an en-suite bath, the second fireplace, multiple closets and its own solarium. There are 3 other sizable bedrooms and a hall full bath that round out this floor. There is a full basement with rough-in for another full bath, a sizable laundry room, a custom stone fireplace, and a slider to walk right out into your own park setting. The oil tank has been replaced, the oil burner furnace and A/C are 2015 and Hot Water Heater is 2022. Schedule your visit today to see this remarkable property for yourself! THIS IS A PRIVATE DRIVEWAY WHICH DEADENDS AT ANOTHER HOME. PLEASE BE COURTEOUS AND DO NOT DRIVE BEYOND THIS HOUSE. THANK YOU!

R-ED
Residential Environmental Development District
The R-ED District is established to accommodate residential development at a density of 2 du's per net acre in areas with a high proportion of sensitive environmental and historic resources. Protection of environmental and historic resources is to be achieved by minimizing the amount of site disturbance and directing development to the most appropriate areas of a site, away from sensitive resources. To accomplish this, the regulations allow site planning flexibility and require that development proposals be evaluated in terms of their effectiveness in minimizing alteration of existing topography, vegetation and the landscape setting for historic structures.
