Ranch/Rambler

Location and charm combine in this inviting three-bedroom, one-bath rancher set in the heart of Preston, ready for a new owner’s touch. A fruit tree graces the front yard, offering a welcoming touch before you even step inside. The foyer opens directly into the living room, where hardwood floors stretch across the space and a wall of windows fills the room with natural light. From here, the floor plan flows seamlessly into the kitchen and dining room combination, highlighted by a bay window and an atrium door that opens to a screened porch for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Each of the three bedrooms is generously sized, with the primary bedroom featuring a double closet for added storage. A full bath is centrally located between them, and a convenient hall laundry room enhances daily function. Hardwood flooring continues into the bedrooms, complementing the home’s warm and inviting character, while many casement windows throughout create an airy, sunlit atmosphere. Practical updates add peace of mind, including a roof that is only three years old and fresh interior painting in several rooms. A covered carport with an attached workshop and storage area provides additional flexibility, while the fully fenced rear yard offers privacy and plenty of space to enjoy, backing to wide open farmland for serene views. The property is served by public water and sewer, though it is not within town limits. This unique positioning means no town taxes, while a quarterly water and sewer fee of $500 applies. Buyers should note that there is an option to annex the lot into town, though the benefits may not outweigh the associated costs. The current town tax rate stands at $0.36 per $100 of assessed value, while the quarterly water and sewer minimum of $266 is scheduled to increase to $282. Buyers and their agents are encouraged to confirm details directly with the Preston Town Office. Beyond the property, the location itself enhances the lifestyle. Nestled in Preston, affectionately known as “The Biggest Little Town in the USA,” you will be close to the community’s inviting municipal parks. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the short drive to the Choptank River Marina and boat ramp, ideal for boating, fishing, or a leisurely day by the water. Nearby scenic trails, local farm markets, and charming cafés add to the appeal, creating a rare blend of tranquility, small-town warmth, and recreational opportunity. This rancher presents a comfortable, light-filled retreat with both practical features and timeless character, waiting to welcome its next owner home.
