Built in 1875, this Grove cottage was entirely rebuilt and expanded in 1998. Very little is left of the original structure, but with the wrap around porch and custom touches, this home fits right in. With two bedrooms on the first floor, including the owner's suite, and two bedrooms up there is plenty of sleeping space. Additionally, upstairs there is more flexible space including a stunning skylit artist/hobby space or second floor family room and a workout/media room. Sellers thought they would be here forever and replaced water and sewer lines, buried the electric service and went overboard with upgrades. With almost 100 acres of parkland within the town and a private swimming lake, Washington Grove is an oasis. The town offers a wide variety of events including Music Weekend, the 4th of July Parade and a 3 day Labor Day celebration. Community spirit and commitment abound. The location is convenient with the MARC train just steps away, the shady Grove metro and 1-270 are also close by
