Colonial-style homes are very popular in Carroll County, MD. One such house is located at 2610 Albert Rill Road, Westminster, MD 21157. The location is unique in that it is also located very close to Manchester, MD, and could easily be mistaken for being located in the 21102 zip code. As a matter of fact, the address is served by the Manchester area schools: Ebb Valley Elementary, North Carroll Middle, and Manchester Valley High.
In addition to the natural beauty of the location, another beauty is the proximity to major roads and shopping areas. Albert Rill Road is located off Route 27, a major route of travel between Westminster and Manchester. It is also very close to another major route of travel, Route 30. Whether there is shopping to be done, a commute to work, a gas tank to fill or a visit to a school, this location will enable you to have multiple routes of travel. And don't forget the proximity to Hanover, PA, where there is no tax on clothing and shoes!
2610 Albert Rill Road was built in 1998 on 1.66 acres and contains 2148 square feet of living space. The house features 4 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. All surfaces are granite (how stately), and the showers are marble tiled (another stately upgrade).
Like the majority of houses in Carroll County, MD, there is a basement. The finished basement space provides additional square footage that is not included in the 2148 square feet of living space.
Since the winters can be cold and the summers hot, the attached 2-car garage provides relief from the elements, and protects the vehicles parked inside. The additional paved parking pad provides plenty of parking for visitors and family.
Although it can't be seen from the road, there is also a patio to the rear of the house, perfect for relaxing, entertaining, and watching the abundance of area wildlife.
