Property Description
** Multiple offers received on the property. All offers are due by 6:00 PM deadline on Sunday, 12/21./25. Tucked away at the end of a winding, tree-lined driveway flanked by stone pillars and arching maple trees, this elegant custom-built home evokes the timeless charm of an English country cottage enhanced with refined luxury touches. Nestled on 3 acres of gently rolling countryside, this property offers a rare blend of storybook character, modern comfort, and retreat-style outdoor living that's all just minutes from the heart of historic Shepherdstown. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence is rich in warmth and personality, featuring hardwood floors, brick fireplaces, and thoughtfully designed living spaces that create a cozy yet elevated atmosphere throughout. The fully remodeled gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home, showcasing granite countertops, nicely appointed cabinets, a large island, cast-iron farmhouse sink, and updated appliances, flowing seamlessly into the dining area that allows perfectly for everyday living and entertaining. Step from the kitchen onto an expansive deck overlooking a private enclosed swimming pool courtyard. Designed for hosting, the deck includes a built-in grill, ample room for dining and lounge furniture, and a fire pit that is all ideal for seasonal gatherings and relaxed evenings outdoors. The main level also features an elegant living room with marble mantel fireplace, a powder room, and a convenient laundry room. Upstairs, the home continues its cottage-inspired charm with a serene primary bedroom retreat, complete with a fireplace, sitting nook, generously sized windows that fill the room with natural light, and ample walk-in closet space. A newly updated full bath serves the upper level, blending modern finishes with classic style. The second upstairs bedroom is equally inviting, offering nicely sized windows, sitting nook, closet space, and a fireplace that is prepped for its own gas insert. The lower level provides a separate living space, ideal for extended family, guests, or income potential. It includes a bedroom, full bath, living room, and office, with the opportunity to add a kitchenette - perfect for an in-law suite or Airbnb concept. A private entrance opens to covered and uncovered patios and a fenced in-ground pool, enhancing both privacy and flexibility. Outside, the grounds feel like a private country retreat. Enjoy a stone patio with seating and fire pit, hot tub, fenced yard, gardening space, air-conditioned greenhouse, pond with fountain, and an ample-sized heated/cooled outbuilding that is ideal for a studio, workshop, or hobby space. Mature landscaping and multiple outdoor living areas create an exceptional setting for family, pets, and entertaining. Included for modern conveniences are a 500 gallon propane tank, reverse osmosis with UV light water filtration system, generator and an electric EV car hookup. Ideally located, this home is minutes from downtown historic Shepherdstown's shops and restaurants, approximately one mile from an accessible Potomac River boat ramp, and close to the National Conservation Training Center, Bavarian Inn Resort, Shepherd University, and the C&O Canal which allows endless opportunities for dining, recreation, culture, and outdoor adventure. With its English country cottage ambiance, carefully chosen renovations, light-filled rooms, and exceptional indoor-outdoor flow, this one-of-a-kind property delivers charm, elegance, and convenience in one remarkable offering!
