The lower level features a family room, fireplace, utility/laundry room, bonus room or office space with a closet, lots of storage and a walk-up exit to the rear patio and yard. There is a tuck under 2-car garage with additional storage, a shed and a massive enclosed storage area underneath the master bedroom addition. Need a home office? Need two master bedroom suites? A space for the in-laws or live in help? Need a studio space? Want to add a second story? Looking for a home to serve as an assisted living facility (**verify with county**), this home offers so many options and your investment in reconfiguration (if desired) and updates should be easily supported by area property values. Ashton and Olney are approx 10 minutes away. Brighton Dam is about a 10 minute drive and Columbia is approx 15-20 minutes away. Of course, the scenic Patuxent River is literally a stone’s throw from your rear property line, so you’ll have hiking & camping opportunities right in your own backyard. This is an AS-IS sale and the house needs work but is priced accordingly — absolutely livable as it is. Roof is 25+ years but no known issues, main a/c & oil fired hot water baseboard heating functions reliably but are of unknown age. Septic system was replaced in 1997 with new tank and trenches at that time. Oil tank is above ground and has been replaced in recent years. HVAC outside of the office addition was replaced in recent years. Some exterior carpentry and gutter work and a good power washing is needed. Front stairs leading to porch probably need to be rebuilt (caution walking on them). PLEASE NOTE: this home is occupied. Do not enter the property without a confirmed showing appointment. No drive-ups please. Cash or conventional loans are preferred. NO HOA. Seller is motivated. Please write offer with a 60 day close.
