Mountainside views with suburban convenience. This well-maintained 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom rancher on a lovely cul-de-sac is perched on an east-facing mountain ridge overlooking the Monocacy River Valley in the middle of a quiet neighborhood. The location is perfect: 15 minutes from Downtown Frederick, 15 minutes from Wegmans, 15 minutes from 270, 10 minutes from Fort Detrick, and 10 minutes or less from the Frederick Watershed trails and recreational areas. This sparkling clean and light-filled house is nestled comfortably between the neighboring houses such that it maximizes privacy while still providing an outstanding overlook of the Monocacy Valley – on a clear night, it is often possible to see the fireworks downtown at the baseball game from the side patio. An elegant bronzed gazebo on the patio affords a delightful outdoor area for dining, congregation, and relaxation. Large windows take advantage of the transcendent morning light facilitated by the eastward-oriented elevation and every sunrise is magical in this house. A cozy sunroom in the back of the house affords unfettered observation of the abundant local wildlife and peaceful forest scenery through the changing seasons. A large covered front porch replete with a porch swing is perfect for enjoying a moody rainstorm and pleasant weather alike – or just surveying the neighborhood from the heights. There is a large shed in the backyard for storage and the house comes complete with a lawnmower and gardening equipment if so desired by the new owners. If you are looking for a move-in-ready, peaceful mountainside retreat with abundant recreational opportunities and all the advantages of neighborhood living (but with no HOA) and suburban proximity to Frederick, this house is for you.
