Welcome home! We were off market for a few days to brighten the basement! In addition to the natural beauty of 5.37 mostly-wooded acres, you score a beautifully-updated 2 bedroom, 1 bath cabin/cottage, a detached garage with a huge workshop/office, a gazebo tucked in the woods, and an upscale chicken coop/storage shed. Look for white ribbons that mark approximate property lines. The newly-paved driveway welcomes you on the left. Once in, the cabin is on the right and the garage/workshop/bonus room is just to the left. The gazebo is tucked in the woods and the coop/shed is just beyond the house. Walk up a few steps to the large front porch to the enter the cabin. The light-filled open-concept living area welcomes you. To the left, the kitchen features beautiful, quality, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and gorgeous granite counters. Enjoy the table space next to the windows or enjoy extra seating at the extended granite counter. New Bellawood (real) hardwood flooring and neutral paint run throughout the home. To the right is a welcoming family room. A new electric fireplace with pretty white mantle makes for a cozy, mess-free ambience. Past the main living space is laundry room, bathroom, and two bedrooms. The laundry room features the same beautiful white cabinetry used in the kitchen, including a pantry, and a new washer and dryer. There is a coat and seating nook tucked just off the family room. The bathroom has been updated from floor to ceiling. The tub with shower is surrounded by white subway tile. Even the fan is pretty and quiet. The two bedrooms are cozy and perfectly suited. Heat and a/c are provided by a new Trane heat pump/air conditioner. The roofs on all buildings are new architectural shingle, except for the shed (it has a nice metal roof). The basement is the same size at the main living level and has an at-grade walk-out to the back yard. Freshly painted with vinyl plank flooring. It houses mechanicals, a work sink, a wood stove, and so much space for future rooms. The detached one-car garage is slightly-oversized with workbench and adjoins the home workshop/office. The garage houses a separate breaker box. Thoughtful placement of outlets and overhead lighting add to the appeal. The workshop/bonus room is huge. It has nicely-finished walls, multiple windows, a new mini-split, and commercial-rated luxury vinyl plank flooring. The lower level of this building features another workshop plus a storage area. The gazebo sits in the woods inviting picnics, play, or tranquility. When you want to explore beyond your 5.37 acres, you can enjoy two community-owned areas. One is 42 acres (just steps away from your property line) and runs along Sharman’s Branch, which connects to Antietam Creek. The other is 32 acres along Antietam Creek, just down the main neighborhood road. Enjoy fishing, rafting, canoeing (on the Antietam), or a stretch of the legs. Enjoy local amenities and nearby attractions too—Antietam Battlefields, historic Sharpsburg or Boonsboro, Shepherd University, C&O canal, wineries, restaurants, and more. Commuter routes are nearby too. The HOA does an admirable job on snow plowing too! Be who you want to be—entrepreneur, hobbyist, retired, work from home, entertainer, weekend retreater, solitude seeker—this little piece of paradise does it all.
