Nestled on over 5 lush acres of lawn and pasture, this beautiful, rambling ranch welcomes your vision to transform it into your dream home. Equestrians, the two-stall barn is ready and waiting, and the pasture and access to bridle paths make this a perfect location for boarding. Doctors or dentists - want to work where you live? A few updates and this home could provide an ideal office. Or transform the space into a new and private primary bedroom suite with sitting area, additional bedrooms, a larger family room and kitchen, or whatever you desire. Let your imagination run wild with the many possibilities! The main property sits on the eastern half of the lot, rimmed with trees and fencing, and offers a gently sloping lawn, a deck and a covered slate porch, and a stunning in-ground pool. Tasteful landscaping and hardscaping grace the front entry. Inside, your canvas awaits, with conveniences like the main-level laundry and the breakfast nook in the generous kitchen. An ample wood-burning fireplace warms the family room off the kitchen and is the ideal spot to gather on cooler nights. The lower level opens to an enormous recreation room with abundant storage space decked out with sturdy built-in shelves. The newer roof, custom construction, and meticulously maintained systems provide peace of mind. Back outside, cross the footbridge over the small stream and the property opens up into fenced pasture and the well-maintained two-stall barn. So much opportunity here, so bring your imagination and make it your own!

RR-DEO
Rural Residential-Density Exchange Option Overlay District
The Rural Residential District is established to allow low density residential development within a rural environment. The Rural Residential District is intended for an area of the County which is already largely committed to low density residential subdivisions. Within the RR District, agriculture is permitted as well as residential development in both cluster and non-cluster forms. Cluster development is permitted in order to protect environmental and landscape resources and to preserve agricultural land.; The DEO Overlay District is established to provide land owners in the RC and RR Districts with opportunity and incentive to preserve significant blocks of farmland in the rural area of the county. This district is also intended to encourage the clustering of residential development in areas where the development will not have an adverse impact on farm operations. To accomplish this, the DEO District allows residential density in the RC and RR Districts to be exchanged between parcels. Density exchanges in the District should result in large parcels being preserved in perpetuity, while residential development is directed toward parcels which are able to absorb the additional dwellings.
