Professional Photos Coming Friday 9/11! There are homes that require you to give up your hobbies. .. and then there are properties that finally let you have them all. Welcome to 2155 McKendree Road, where peaceful country living meets the freedom to live exactly the way you've always imagined. Nestled on five scenic acres in sought-after West Friendship, this extraordinary property offers the rare opportunity to have a beautiful home, exceptional outdoor living, serious workspace, and room for the things that simply don't fit on a suburban lot. A major 2006 expansion transformed the home, adding the impressive family room, primary bedroom and bath, and additional storage space—giving the home substantially more living space and a more modern, flexible floor plan than its original 1975 footprint might suggest. At the center of that expansion is a breathtaking great room that immediately steals the show. Soaring 13-foot vaulted ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace create a natural gathering place, while a dedicated mini-split provides added year-round comfort. The custom kitchen was thoughtfully designed with abundant built-in cabinetry, generous workspace, propane cooking, and seamless flow into both the breakfast area and formal dining room. The floor plan is as practical as it is beautiful. The spacious primary suite offers 13-foot vaulted ceilings, two walk-in closets, an oversized walk-in shower, double bowl vanity, private water closet, and proportions rarely found in homes of this style. A second main-level bedroom features its own private bath, making it ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or an exceptional home office. The main-level laundry room, conveniently accessed from both the home and deck, is perfectly positioned for pool days and outdoor living. Outside, every season brings something to enjoy. Spend summers floating in the pool, rinse off in the solar shower, unwind in the hot tub beneath the stars, or simply enjoy the privacy of five beautifully landscaped acres. Mature trees—including a German hickory, a chestnut tree, and a remarkable descendant of Maryland's legendary 450-year-old Wye Oak—add character and history to the landscape. For the buyer who dreams bigger, this property truly delivers. The detached garage includes a 9,000-pound automotive lift that conveys, creating an incredible setup for collectors, hobbyists, mechanics, or anyone who appreciates having room to work. The 40-foot carport is tall enough for an RV or camper, with additional possibilities for vehicles, boats, or equipment. The barn features water, electric, concrete floors, an attached chicken coop, attic storage, and the durability of a standing seam metal roof. Whether your interests include hobby farming, woodworking, animals, equipment, or simply having exceptional outbuilding space, this property is ready for it. An additional water spigot at the rear of the property adds convenience for gardening, animals, washing equipment, or future outdoor projects. Additional features include replacement windows throughout, whole-house central vacuum, an owned propane tank, propane-fueled kitchen range, fireplace and outdoor grill connection, plus extensive storage throughout the home. Life in West Friendship offers room to breathe without giving up convenience. Known for its rolling countryside, estate homes, top-rated Howard County schools, and convenient access to Columbia, Baltimore, Frederick, and Washington, it's a setting that combines acreage, privacy, and accessibility in a way that's increasingly hard to find.

Rural Conservation-Density Exchange Option Overlay District
The Rural Conservation District is established to conserve farmland and to encourage agricultural activities, thereby helping to ensure that commercial agriculture will continue as a long term land use and a viable economic activity within the County. The RC District is also established to preserve natural features and the rural landscape, while allowing low density, clustered residential development. Residential development is to be permitted only when it is located and designed to minimize its impact on agricultural land, farming operations, and sensitive environmental features; to create attractive rural developments; and to respect existing features of the rural landscape. The preferred land use in the RC District is agriculture. The District is intended to permit a range of uses related to agriculture, to encourage the preservation of large blocks of farmland, and to permanently protect from development the tracts of land which remain after permitted residential development has occurred. Residential lots in the district are likely to be adjacent or close to agricultural land. Residents of property within the RC District should be prepared to accept the impacts associated with normal farming practices; 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.
