OPEN HOUSE CANCELLED. OFFER ACCEPTED. Modern comfort meets rustic charm! Own 5.42 acres of unspoiled forest. This home embodies the perfect balance of indoor and outdoor living. * * The forest views entice you from every window, but as tempted as you'll be to head outside to hike or bird watch, there is still plenty to enjoy indoors! * * Start your day with a cup of coffee in the sunroom. Rain or shine, you'll be protected from the elements. * * Whether you're baking bread or making a salad, you'll cook happily in the thoughtfully updated kitchen that features oodles of cabinet storage and newer recessed lighting. * * Light the fireplace and enjoy the panoramic views of the forest from the comfort of your living room. Gather in the perfect sized dining room for lively game nights and relaxed Sunday dinners. * * You'll appreciate having all the sleeping rooms on the main level! The three bedrooms are well proportioned with large windows, generous closets, and fresh paint. The tastefully updated and spacious full bath is beautifully accented with oil-rubbed bronze. Having oversized counter tops and extra cabinet space also helps to simplify your morning routine. * * Make the detached cottage into your artist studio or writing room. The sun filters through the south facing windows all day, gently illuminating your creative space. No need for a studio? Maybe you'll consider renting the cottage to a Mount St. Mary's University student. The campus is just 7 minutes away! If you keep the cottage as a humble guesthouse, be warned. After converting the second closet to a bathroom, your in-laws may never leave! * * The laundry is located downstairs, but otherwise the basement is a blank slate for your design ideas. Finish the basement for an extra large recreation room or leave unfinished for storage. The basement runs the full length of the house so there is plenty of space to play with! * * In the summer you may spend more time outdoors than in! The pavilion offers a shady, breezy space for birthday parties and crab feasts. This screened-in structure with ceiling fan keeps happy guests comfortable inside and pesky mosquitos out. * * Hungry guests will gather around the grill on your oversized back deck. After filling their bellies, they'll linger on the built-in bench, cold drink in hand, and share how much they enjoy watching the wildlife here. You joke that you keep the binoculars close and bear spray even closer. * * Yikes! * * YOU WILL ALSO LOVE: --The oversized 2-car garage. Protect your vehicles from winter storms or harsh summer sun.
