**Back to Active on the market because tye previous buyers could not satisfy a contingency!** Welcome to your sanctuary! This all-brick home is move-in ready while offering a unique opportunity to create your dream home in a tranquil setting. Built in 1982, this traditional, center-hall colonial residence has an updated kitchen, remodeled upstairs baths, & plenty of room to spread out on three finished levels.
At the front door, you are greeted by warm hardwood floors. To the right of the foyer is the well-proportioned dining room, which could be also used as another type of living area, such as a game room, library, office, etc. To the left of the foyer is a living room w/an inviting fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings spent w/loved ones, for entertaining, or both. Behind the living room is an office/den w/an entire wall of built-in book cases, allowing you to work from home & close doors, or be in the middle of all of the activity. Next is the table-space kitchen w/beautiful granite countertops, wood cabinets, & stainless steel appliances as well as a movable solid wood & marble island. There are doors from the kitchen to the back deck allowing for easy al fresco dining access.
Back inside, the kitchen leads to a sunny morning room that would make a perfect, large mudroom between the garage & kitchen or another in-home office, sitting area, or pet space as this area is tiled for easy clean up. It has an entrance to the back yard, a separate laundry area w/large front-loading washer & dryer, & the door to the garage.
As you take the steps up to the second level of the home, you will find a light-filled & wide hallway w/3 large bedrooms. The first of these rooms is the primary suite, w/a walk-in closet & updated walk-in shower to match. The room is large & inviting w/room for large furniture. There is a newly updated hall bath next to the primary bedroom, which is shared by bedrooms 2 & 3. Both of these bedrooms have large closets, plenty of light, & are waiting for your personal touch!
Moving downstairs from the main level is the fully-finished lower level w/fireplace, wet bar, full bath, storage area, rec room, & an extra room that could be a craft room, exercise room, or bedroom(w/a properly-sized egress window installed). You could possibly adapt the lower level to an in-law suite (with proper county permitting of course!) for those looking for multi-generational living. This area also has an outside covered entrance via a small, walk-through, greenhouse/potting shed to allow for fully private living on this level.
The current owners have used the potting shed to create a lush, landscaped property on the 2+ acres of this property. They have planted vegetable, herb, & flower gardens which are not only relaxing but are also a delicious retreat from the hustle & bustle of everyday life! There are gorgeous grape vines artfully trellised on the rear of the home & there’s plenty of room for outdoor fun, more gardens, cartwheels, maybe a pool(?!), summer camp outs, or simply soaking up the sun & laughing with loved ones. The possibilities to be creative with the exterior areas are endless here.
Lastly, this property is located in the sought after Willowdale subdivision. Willowdale is minutes away from Shepherd University, Shepherdstown restaurants and shops, cultural & intellectual engagement opportunities, the Potomac River, the C&O Canal National Park, and Duffield's train station which takes you all the way to union Station in Washington, DC!
Expand the radius out to a 30 minute travel time & you are in the proximity of hiking, biking, white water rafting, wineries/breweries/distilleries, Harpers Ferry, horse racing, fishing, auto-racing, a casino, & more shopping & dining. Expand out to 1.5 hours travel time & you are in Washington DC, Baltimore, & 3 international airports!
The area is very rural, but is also growing quickly, so don’t miss out on the chance to transform this space into your dream home and refuge
