About This Home

As of February 2026

OPEN HOUSE CANCELED, HOME UNDER CONTRACT There’s a certain kind of property that feels like home the moment you arrive—where the land opens up, the air gets quieter, and everything in you exhales. 368 Appleton Rd is that place. Set on 2.14 sweeping acres across three parcels, this lovingly maintained 3-bedroom rancher offers the comfort of one-level living with the space, charm, and character that make a house feel truly lived in. Built in 1974 and cared for with pride, it carries a warmth that can’t be replicated—original details, sunlit rooms, and a sense of timeless ease that welcomes you in. Inside, the home unfolds with a generous flow. Two distinct living spaces create natural gathering areas: one centered around a classic fireplace perfect for winter evenings, the other wrapped in natural light from a wide bay window framing the changing seasons outside. The traditional layout blends coziness with openness, featuring a large kitchen with rich espresso cabinetry, and a separate formal dining room that glows with soft natural sunlight. A private office sits tucked away for remote work, creative pursuits, or quiet reflection. The sunroom opens to the outdoors, inviting morning coffee, summer breezes, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Below it all lies one of the home’s greatest gifts: a full basement spanning the entire footprint of the house—immaculate, dry, and brimming with possibility. Whether you envision an entertainment retreat, an in-law suite, a workshop, or abundant storage, the space is ready for your imagination. Plumbing access even opens the door to a future second bathroom. For car lovers, hobbyists, or anyone seeking extra space, the property includes both an attached 2-car garage and an impressively large detached garage that can transform into a workshop, studio, storage space, or a haven for project-driven dreams. Outdoors, the land is a rare blend of openness and privacy. Portions are fenced, perfect for pets or kids, while the remaining acreage stretches into peaceful, usable space—ideal for gardening, small farmette aspirations, or simply enjoying the quiet rhythm of rural living. Neighbors feel distant, yet convenience is comfortably within reach. Located along the scenic, quiet stretch of Appleton Road, the home sits minutes from Fair Hill’s thousands of protected acres—Maryland 5 Star events, endless hiking trails, wildlife, and year-round outdoor adventure. A short drive takes you into Pennsylvania, Delaware, or the heart of Elkton for schools, dining, shopping, and everyday needs. For those seeking a simpler, more grounded lifestyle—or a home with land, character, and room to grow—638 Appleton Rd is a rare find. Not just a place to live, but a place to belong.
