About This Home

Well maintained, recently renovated 2 bedroom / 1 bathroom ranch home in a very quiet, rural setting. 15 minutes to Andrews AFB. Branch Avenue Metro Station on the Green line is 25 minutes away. The home is co-located on a very private 12-acre parcel along with the original 1912 farmhouse. The location is unique and has a lot of privacy. It is tucked into the quiet community of high-end homes called North Keys Estates, which has great roads for walking, jogging, and riding bikes. The lot is buffered on all sides by forest except for just one direction, which overlooks a historic preservation lot containing 2 barns. The driveway is partially paved and part gravel. It is shared with the tenants in the 1912 farmhouse. Plenty of parking. There's a dedicated 8’ x 16’ shed for additional storage that has lights and electrical outlets. The house has a covered front porch surrounded by a paver walkway, a large two-level backyard deck, and a screen porch. In total, there are 583 square feet of deck to enjoy. Several flower beds and bushes are located around the house, and renters are welcome to garden as much as they wish.
