22119 Dickerson School Rd Dickerson, MD 20842

Listing details for 22119 Dickerson School Rd, Dickerson, MD 20842 : Nestled between horse pasture and quaint Montgomery County Dickerson Park, lies Grandma Jane’s Orchard, an historic country home of the Pooles, founding family of Poolesville. Nearly 3 acres within the Agricultural Reserve, this primely situated vintage homestead boasts an established orchard of peaches, plums, apples, pears, grapes, and cherries, in addition to a decades-established plot of asparagus, a fenced in vegetable garden, and an old growth-grape arbor. This single-floor home possesses an expansive screened porch overlooking the idyllic orchard and surrounding countryside. A fire-pit, used by generations, and which sits in front of an original century-old chicken shed, is the perfect place to enjoy a peaceful country evening filled with fireflies and starlit skies. The location of this orchard homestead is hard to beat: commuters need only go a quarter mile down the road to catch the MARC to get to the Nation’s Capital, and Sugarloaf Mountain, and the National C&O Canal Park are a short bike ride away. Add to all of that amazing location, this home feeds into the Poolesville Magnet high school program, quaint Monocacy Elementary school, which sits in the shadow of Sugarloaf Mountain, and the exclusively private Barnesville School. This nearly century-old historic country home boasts a new roof with homeowner-owned solar panels, and has a modern automatic emergency generator giving the best of both worlds in comfort and vintage. A fantastic mix of Location, Location, Location, natural beauty, bountiful agriculture, serene privacy, and historical charm, opportunities like this are very rare.
