Welcome Home! Meander up the driveway to this beautiful, well-maintained Colonial home! Perched perfectly on 5 acres and surrounded by trees, it truly is a private oasis. Once you enter the home, you will appreciate the gleaming hardwood flooring, which were refinished just last week! The open concept, featuring a family room with a fireplace and a wood stove insert, a dining room, and a kitchen, allows for wonderful entertaining or simply relaxing in the evening. The upper level features four bedrooms, hardwood flooring, and two full baths. Enjoy the tranquility of the backyard on your deck when the sun is shining, or retreat to the screened-in gazebo located right off the rear of the house should the rain start to fall. There is an amazing free-standing/separate studio in the corner of the yard, complete with a window a/c unit and wall heaters for year-round use, accommodating whatever your heart desires. The 20 x 12 exceptionally well-built shed with a lean-to will more than store all of your yard equipment. Additionally, there is a garden with raised beds and a well ventilated chicken coop! The Browns Bridge Patuxent Reservoir Watershed and Recreation Area is literally one minute away, where you can kayak, fish, or simply birdwatch. All of this, including excellent schools and centrally located right on the MC/HC line. Easy access to Rockville, Washington, DC, and Baltimore via 29, 95, 200. Fabulous schools!

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.
