If ultimate privacy and a well maintained, charming colonial with WOW curb appeal in Carroll County is what you're looking for, you've found it! Down the extensive private drive (YES there is Comcast here!) 868 Deer Ridge Dr offers 2.45 acres of serene bliss - pastoral views spanning over neighboring farmland and woods, a large yard with wonderfully cultivated and maintained gardens (both an extensive variety of florals and vegetables await spring!), tree house, no views of neighbors, and expansive lot! Enter through the perfect, rustic, farmhouse front porch to the spacious foyer. The main level contains a bright office with new vinyl plank flooring and oversized windows off the foyer. A large, bright living room with wood burning fireplace and brick accent provides a stunning panoramic view of your deck, as well as an access door, and farmland beyond. Wildlife abounds right outside your windows, from all variety of birds to flying squirrels and more. Right around the corner is the adorable eat-in kitchen, which has ample cabinetry, breakfast bar, upgraded stainless steel appliances (new dishwasher and stove), and pantry. Another large window brightens the open space. Off the kitchen, find the large laundry room with secondary access to the deck, storage closet, as well as access to the oversize 2-car garage (new doors 2019). The formal dining room off the kitchen and powder room complete the first level. Upstairs, the primary suite features a vaulted ceiling, oversize windows with stunning views, a large walk-in closet, full bath with a separate tub and shower, private toilet and double vanity. Two large bedrooms and a full bath with tub/shower combination complete the second level. The basement is almost fully finished, with new vinyl plank flooring and plenty of room for a family room, play space, office, craft area, and more along with several full size windows. It also features a walk-out to the back yard, though you won't want to spend much time inside here! The roof, siding, exterior doors and lights were all replaced in 2019! Outside, there is a shed with utility sink and electric as well as 70amp sub panel. This property is perfect for the homesteader.
