Description

Comfortable Custom-built, Great Access

Hard to beat this location abutting Fair Hill State Park and thousands of acres of open space in Cecil County, Md.

Spacious custom-built Cape-style house on 19 acres, beautifully planted, protected by open space, ideal for horses.

House is unique, custom built in 1989 with high ceilings throughout first floor; open foyer, sweeping staircase to second floor. Library with FP, beautiful wood-beamed ceiling, and fresh wall-to-wall carpet. Living room with 11 foot ceilings and wood-burning fireplace, dining room.

First floor MBR en suite with private deck; kitchen with custom cherry cabinets, includes Wolf microwave, Subzero refrigerator, propane gas stove, granite countertop island; family room off kitchen with FP and wet bar; mud room, first floor laundry room, powder room off kitchen leading to large well-finished 3 bay garage with equine storage area, and ample closet space.

Family room, kitchen, MBR all have French doors leading to expansive outdoor deck overlooking beautiful pond, gardens and woods.

Second floor has 3 BRs, one very large full hall bath, Jack-&-Jill bath between second and third BRs; small office space potential or record storage, full attic space above garage.

Finished basement with wood-burning stove and real wood paneling, outside exit through French doors, another finished room would make an excellent office; basement utilities room, 2-zone heating and central air throughout, water conditioner, and crawl space with SilverGlo wall space insulation, sump pump, and built in dehumidifier.

Roof redone in 2010. Part of HOA with two neighboring properties, which only applies to the houses, not the farmland.

A highlight of the property is its proximity to walking, biking, and riding trails with Fair Hill Equestrian Center to the west, and White Clay Creek Preserve to the north.

Grounds with mature landscaping boasts continual in-season blooming, pond, woods with stream running through it. 19 acres is two parcels: house on 2-plus acres, 17 acres of farmland used for horses, and hayed by local Amish farmer. Equipment shed with 6 bays; small barn with stall, tack room, and run-in shed. Has two fenced paddocks. Two extra wood structures on property. Could be torn down or remodeled.

Overall lots of possibilities. Unique location and setting with similar types of properties nearby. Close to Univ. of Del., Newark, I-95. Great location. One owner.
