4078 RECTORTOWN Rd

Let me guess - you just wish you could find an affordable home with almost 2,700 sq ft all on one level, with more than 1/2 acre of land, a 2 car garage, peace, quiet, and small town vibes but even your Realtor told you it just doesn't exist less than an hour from DC? You just found it! You can even bring your big truck or RV and still have parking space for cars. But I doubt you will want to spend too much time away from home with all the rooms for everyone, including an office that will definitely earn you an award for best zoom background. And on slightly warmer days, the fenced back yard is like a park with room for basketball, a trampoline, and gathering around a fire pit or the old brick fireplace with friends and cool drinks, late under the stars (you can actually see them away from the city).

Living here is great for anyone who loves Red Truck Bakery and the other shops on Main Street, but this is also a prize property for any history buff. Rare worm wood reclaimed from a 200 year old barn in the area and rare (expensive) colored slate floors from the Greek revival home of Chief Justice John Marshall fill the family room, dining room and office with stories. After a couple of additions over the years, the exterior was covered in local field stone, and every stone in the house was hand cut and placed by previous owners.

What isn't historical? All the "big ticket" items: water heater 2020, HVAC 2023, roof and gutters 2022. You really should hurry to see this home! Even the grass in the front yard is new.
