Charming Cape Cod Retreat on Nearly an Acre with Valley Views Nestled on .80 acres in the Mount Airy area of Howard County, this charming Cape Cod–style home offers a rare blend of peaceful rural living and everyday convenience. Overlooking a scenic valley and backing to mature trees, the property is a haven for nature lovers, with abundant landscaping and frequent visits from wild birds. The home features 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, with the primary bedroom conveniently located on the main level. Offering approximately 1,800 square feet above grade, the interior is warm and inviting, highlighted by wood floors, cozy finishes, and timeless charm throughout. Wood flooring on first floor is currently covered by carpet. The kitchen offers abundant cabinet space, ideal for cooking and entertaining, while a dedicated office provides flexibility for remote work or hobbies. A finished basement expands the living space and includes central air, making it comfortable year-round. Additional features include oil heat, generator hookup, and new siding, adding both comfort and peace of mind. Outdoor living is equally appealing, with a covered rear porch perfect for relaxing and enjoying the natural surroundings, a large side yard, and beautifully maintained landscaping. A detached two-car garage provides ample storage and parking. Though the setting feels private and serene, the location is exceptionally convenient—just minutes to Interstates 70 and easy access to Interstate 270, Fort Meade, Frederick, and Baltimore. The property is also served by highly regarded Howard County schools. This is a special opportunity to enjoy space, charm, and tranquility without sacrificing accessibility. Home is in need of some TLC and a new family to create memories in. Offers welcome and appreciated.
