**A UNIQUE PROPERTY UNLIKE ANY OTHER ** Tucked away on 5.03 private acres surrounded by trees, this quaint cottage offers a peaceful retreat for the nature lover seeking privacy, acreage and NO HOA, yet still within approximately 15-20 minutes of Bel Air. What began as a two-story garage was expanded to create this truly unique home offering 1,362 sq. ft. of above-grade living space plus 400+ additional sq. ft. in the walkout lower level. Inside, hardwood floors flow throughout much of the main level. The spacious eat-in kitchen features oak cabinetry, ceramic tile countertops and backsplash, skylights and an adjoining dining area. The main level also offers a cozy sitting room with propane stove, a living room with wood stove, two bedrooms with a shared full bath, plus a third bedroom/flex room with a beautiful picture window overlooking the grounds and an attached full bath. The walkout lower-level features additional rec space warmed by a propane stove, a separate laundry area, another flex room and a half bath. Outside, two Trex decks on opposite sides of the home offer additional outdoor entertaining space. A stamped concrete patio and spacious parking area, plus a secure 12' x 24' shed with electric, add even more function to the property. This is not your typical property-and that's exactly what makes it special. With some cosmetic updating and your personal touch, this little cottage in the woods, surrounded by mature trees, wildflowers and open space, could be the perfect place to call home! Property is being sold strictly AS-IS. Updates include: new line from house to well ('23), new roof ('21), stamped concrete driveway and patio ('21), well pressure tank ('20), HVAC ('18), HWH ('18) and large picture window in front bedroom/flex room ('05).
