This 4 BD/2 BA country charmer is situated on a little over an acre next to the Duffield’s MARC Train Station, perfect for the DC Commuter. It comes replete with several large, raised bed vegetable gardens, two large storage sheds (one of which is currently an active chicken coup, but could be converted back) and is situated right next to the 2nd oldest standing train station in the country. This home has three covered porches perfect for outdoor entertaining, modern amenities such as sky lights, a vaulted ceiling in the spacious great room, and a large, useful mudroom/laundry room. There is no HOA, no carpeting, two fire pits (one with a working spit), and both a fireplace and a functional woodstove to make this home a cozy, wonderful getaway from the hustle and bustle of the greater DC area. Imagine relaxing with your wine in a claw foot tub, while listening to the faint sounds of trains as they roll by. One carport and plenty of off street parking for your guests. Come take a look and see for yourself how this uniquely appointed house could easily charm you.

R
Rural (Agricultural) District
The purpose of this district is to provide a location for low density single family residential development in conjunction with providing continued farming activities. This district is generally not served with public water or sewer facilities although certain size developments processed under the cluster provision of Section 5.7D(2) may choose to do so. A primary function of the low density residential development permitted within this section is to preserve the rural character of the County and the agricultural community. All lots subdivided in the Rural District are subject to Section 5.7D. The Envision Jefferson 2035 Comprehensive Plan recommends that the cluster provision of the Zoning Ordinance be the preferred method of residential development in the Rural zoning district.
