Rare, private country homestead on one of western Howard County’s prettiest and most prestigious rural road: Jennings Chapel! Surrounded by agriculture, just beyond the farms on the south side of the road is the 6,000+ acre Patuxent River State Park with hiking trails, bridle paths, hunting and fishing - giving you that unique sense of being a world away while still remaining convenient to top schools, shopping, restaurants, and major commuter routes.
This solid 1968 3-bedroom, 2 bath 2 BA ranch-style home with 2-car garage, offering one-level living, retains much of its original Mid-Century Modern lines, including corner-wrap windows. Judiciously updated over the years, the interior highlights include original hardwood floors, an inviting stone fireplace with dramatic stone feature-wall, a handsome slate foyer and front porch, a big sunny great room addition, plus a new roof installed January 2026.
Enjoy the convenience of main-level laundry or easily relocate it to the semi-finished basement which already features roughed-in plumbing for a future bathroom expansion. The back deck overlooks a gracious, beautifully landscaped backyard. A brick path winds down to a spectacular outdoor entertaining pavilion, slate patio floor with a very MCM-style brick fireplace & built-in grill.
The beautifully proportioned 3-acre level lot offers ultimate freedom with NO HOA. It provides the perfect layout for a hobby farm, 4H animals, a pony, large organic gardens, a private soccer field, or a future pool. This property is turn-key and move-in ready, allowing you to phase-in your personal style as time and funds allow. With a current one-level footprint of 1,642 square feet on 3 private acres, there is plenty of expansion potential to build up, out, or add-on whenever you are ready.
