Enjoy your own oasis at this charming rambler amid a pastoral setting, on nearly one lush acre in Woodbine not far from the Montgomery-Howard county line at the Patuxent River. The 1965 brick-and-siding home has been meticulously maintained and updated, and offers four bedrooms, an open floor plan with spacious living areas including a cozy family room and a stainless-steel kitchen, and a backyard to die for with a deck, patio area and vast leveled green space. More living areas including an open rec room and a fourth bedroom are in the walkout basement. There's a huge detached two/three-car garage with an oversized parking pad to accommodate guest parking for those large gatherings. Towering trees and mature bushes all around add to the beauty of this rare, two-story rancher in a private pastoral setting. Welcome home! MAIN LEVEL A private driveway leads back to the property, where a paver path with a series of wide steps leads up to the front stoop framed with wrought-iron railing. The wooden front door, with an oval-shaped beveled glass insert, opens right into the gracious Living Room with gleaming hardwood floors, a brick-surround fireplace with a mantel, and a gorgeous picture window for an unobstructed view of the lush front yard. The hardwood floors continue into the attached Dining Room - bright & sunny with a lighted ceiling fan, oversized sliding glass doors to the rear deck and a wooden side door with glass panes in the top half accessing the Screened-in Porch. This versatile porch also walks out to the yard, and is fabulous with its beamed ceiling, a lighted overhead fan and windows on three walls. A brick accent wall adds a rustic, warm feel to the space. Back inside, the Kitchen has dark-stained cabinetry, ceramic tiled flooring and updated stainless-steel appliances including a large four-door Whirlpool refrigerator. An over-the-sink window offers more natural light! Three bedrooms sit off a hall to the living room's left - all with hardwood floors and lighted ceiling fans. The large Owner's Bedroom features windows on two walls and wood sliding-door closets. Bedroom 2 also has double exposure and wood sliding-door closets. Bedroom 3 has a double window and generous closet space. The Hall Bath has a cultured marble-topped vanity, a tub/shower combination, a window, and ceramic tiled floor and surround. BASEMENT The full-size basement is finished with carpeting and beautiful wood trim throughout, including wall paneling below chair rail. The open spaces include a large Family Room with an expansive brick-surround fireplace with a woodstove & hearth, flanked by windows, and glass sliders to a paver patio & yard. A recessed wall is perfect for an office or study area, while Bedroom 4 has wood-paneled walls and closets, and electric baseboard heating. A second Full Bath has a tub/shower combination and a window, with the Laundry/storage room rounding out the walkout lower level. There's also storage space under the deck-covered area. The detached, two-car Garage offers more storage, as well as a wood-burning stove. A shed sits behind the garage, offering additional storage. With a peaceful, gorgeous setting, this pristine rancher offers updated spaces and all the comfort one would want for a retreat away from work and the hustle & bustle of urban life!
