This is an easy 2-block walk in any direction to Carroll Creek, Micro-Brews, Distilleries, Historic Mt. Olivet Cemetery (grave of Barbara Fritchie, F Scott Key, and other famous Marylanders.

Olivet Cemetery is only 2 blocks away. 2 excellent restaurants, Black Hog BBQ and El Porto Italian, 1 block away and a new bakery, electric bike rental and Arts Center also within a block walk.

The private, 1000 sq. foot organic garden in back and side yard. (Some insects are to be expected. Mosquito lamps are in both areas- spray is under the powder room sink.)

S. Carroll St is not a main traffic "drag" like South Street or Market Street. The traffic activity and noise is a fraction of what it is, a block west or north of the house. The walk is a few minutes longer to Carroll Creek, but a worthwhile price to pay for a good night’s sleep.
