What Would You Do with an Extra Few Acres? Having more space to breathe, play, grow vegetables and invite family/friends to build another home nearby, or build a much larger new home for you are on many a dreamers bucket list - this 1903 Bungalow on a 4-acre lot can make any and all of these happen for you! The house is rustic and full of character and definitely could use major updating but it's livable and it has such a magnificent view looking down on the majority of the land to a treed backdrop. It's like stepping back in time but the suburbs moved out to greet you and nearby are all the conveniences that come with the suburban lifestyle; like good internet, decent grocery stores, and easy road travel on the nearby Inter-County Connector Highway. This 3 level 4 bedroom 2.5 bath house has a roomy owner suite addition on the main level and upstairs 3 good sized bedrooms and a den, that can be a child's bedroom also. The huge Living Room sports a wood-burning fireplace!. The eat-in kitchen is in need of modernization but it's big and functional with table space and a built-in breakfast spot. A separate dining room with plenty of room for a large gathering leads to an enclosed porch at the front with an attractive slate tile floor. A grand deck with a super view of the land surrounds the rear of the home. The basement is big and with a Recreation Room at the rear and a laundry room. There's plenty of room to expand down here. It's on public water and a septic system. There is a public sewer in the area. Heat is an oil-fired hot water radiator system. There are two old outbuildings; a former stable and a storage/play shed - both needing some work but with great potential. The current RE-1 zoning allows subdividing to a minimum lot size of 40,000 square feet per and no more than 15% of the lot may be built upon. There are further restrictions on impervious development which we believe the County reduces to no more than 8% of the lot size not including existing buildings, due to the proximity to the Paint Branch stream that runs along one small corner of the lot. There are 4 acres here or 174,240 square feet of space, so although it may not allow for 4 homes, 2 or 3 may be possible. Buyers should do their own due diligence. This home has been in one family since the 1950s who have many happy memories formed there. It's a rare opportunity to purchase a unique wide-open lot with a hard-to-find scenic view of meadows and trees only a few miles outside of the Beltway and Inter-County Connector!
