1685 Solomons Island Rd S, Prince Frederick, MD 20678
About this home
Charming Cape Cod home sited on a rolling 6.85 acre lot that offers a rural setting, but is super convenient to the many amenities of Prince Frederick, as well as Huntingtown, Dunkirk, Solomons, California, and more. A lovely wrap around porch invites you to sit awhile and enjoy the outdoors. As you enter the main level from the front porch, you'll find the formal living room with access to the formal dining room, and a cute country kitchen, with enough space to accommodate a kitchen table. There's also a half bath with a laundry area and a mud room that's by the rear door. Take the stairs to the 2nd level and you will find 2 bedrooms, one of which has a large, separate sitting room. On this level you will also find a full hall bathroom. Within a stones throw from the house is a huge red barn. The barn consists of a front section with a 2nd level loft area that will need some fixing up. The rear section of the barn could serve many purposes, such as auto repair, classic car or boat storage, wood working shop, and the list goes on. The combination of the house and the barn makes this property a classic and unique opportunity for that buyer looking for such a set-up! Schedule your showing before its too late! By the way, this property is eligible for 100% USDA financing!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

RCD
Rural Community District
The Rural Community District RCD is intended to maintain a mix of farms, forests, and residential uses, retain historic and scenic areas, and protect watersheds, fish, and wildlife. These goals are to be achieved in part through the mandatory clustering of subdivisions on parcels 30 acres or greater in size, with a minimum of 60 percent of the subdivision to be permanently preserved as open space. It is the intent to maintain a low residential density within this district while still allowing for some use of Transferable Development Rights TDRs. To avoid drawing traffic onto rural roads commercial uses are limited.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Agriculture
Religious facility
