5135 Dusty Ln Lineboro Cpo, MD 21102

5135 Dusty Ln, Lineboro - A Custom-Built, Multi-Generational Retreat in the Carroll County Countryside If you have been looking for more space, more privacy, and a home that feels like an escape from the everyday, 5135 Dusty Ln delivers. Tucked into a country hillside on 2.39 acres, this custom-built home is your own private retreat in the woods - a place where you don't just inhabit the space, you enjoy the life you live. Drive up the fern-lined lane to a park-like setting with established perennial gardens (99% perennials that return beautifully each spring with minimal effort), mature forest, blooming rhododendron, and wildlife around every tree. Main Level: Warm wood floors add character throughout. Gather for breakfast in the sun-filled, spacious eat-in kitchen, complete with breakfast bar, large windows, butler's pantry, and sweeping views of the farmland in the valley below. A cozy wood stove makes the heart of the home feel especially inviting. The enormous main-level primary suite is a true sanctuary, featuring its own wood stove, vaulted ceiling, sunny master bath, and a walk-in closet. Relax on the expansive screened porch - listen for the drum of the red-headed woodpeckers, the chatter of squirrels, and the distant hoot of a great horned owl. Upper Level: Three additional bedrooms and a full bathroom. Lower Level/Walkout Basement: A spacious family room with a half bath and a storage room/gym. AND... a studio apartment with its own private entrance, FULL SECOND KITCHEN, full bath, and room for both living and sleeping. Perfect as a rental, in-law suite, or au pair space. Outside: The country lifestyle really comes to life here. Enjoy the views from the screened-in porch, relax by the fire pit in the picnic spot in the woods (complete with grill, porch swing, and fireflies coming out at dusk), and enjoy the expansive yard with ample parking. Plant a garden in the beds, raise chickens in the coop and run, and take advantage of the shed and tool room for storage, projects, or hobbies. A zip line and swing in the woods add even more functionality to a property with room to spread out. In winter, settle in by the wood stove in the living room and watch the snow fall quietly on the hilltop. Location: The quiet, rural feel Carroll County is known for, with everyday conveniences within reach. Manchester and Hampstead provide nearby groceries, shopping, restaurants, coffee, and daily errands. Westminster offers even more dining, shopping, entertainment, healthcare, and access to McDaniel College. Head toward Parkton, Hereford, Sparks, and Hunt Valley for additional restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, and convenient access to the I-83 corridor. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate being near Prettyboy Reservoir and Gunpowder Falls State Park, with opportunities for hiking, fishing, kayaking, biking, and exploring miles of trails. The Torrey C. Brown Rail Trail is another nearby destination for walking, running, and cycling. Recent Updates & Extra Perks: Nearly all upstairs appliances (except the refrigerator) are new within the last two years. Recently replaced carpets and a fresh front porch. Major systems well maintained: septic tank pumped in June 2026, HVAC systems serviced in August 2026, and roof tune-up with loose shingles replaced in May 2026. The property also carries VA eligibility with potential for an assumable 5.25% rate. If cookie-cutter neighborhoods are not your style and you are ready for a home with character, land, and a true connection to the outdoors, this Lineboro property offers a lifestyle that is increasingly hard to find - acreage, woods, wildlife, and a quieter pace of life without giving up access to surrounding towns and conveniences.
