Tucked inside a gated community with private water access, this 5.17‑acre retreat feels like the kind of place where life naturally slows down. Mountain views greet you from the moment you arrive, and the home itself feels like a warm invitation to unwind. Step inside and you’re welcomed by the stunning two‑story fireplace, rising gracefully through the main living space. It instantly becomes the heart of the home, a place where chilly mornings feel cozy, gatherings feel intimate, and evenings stretch out comfortably beside the glow of the fire. Sunlight filters in around it, giving the entire space a sense of warmth and ease. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths, the layout offers both connection and privacy. The living areas flow naturally, creating a home that feels just as perfect for quiet weekends as it does for hosting friends. The kitchen and open dining/living area encourages conversation, laughter, and the kind of moments that turn into memories. Two screened‑in porches and a huge deck extend your living space outdoors, offering peaceful spots to sip coffee, watch wildlife, or enjoy the mountain breeze. Whether you’re entertaining or simply taking in the quiet, these spaces make every day feel a little more special. An unfinished basement and 1‑car garage provide flexibility and room to grow, ideal for storage, hobbies, or future expansion. The gated community enhances the lifestyle, offering picnic grounds, kayak storage, and a bath house, making it easy to enjoy the water and the outdoors. It’s a place where neighbors wave, weekends feel like vacations, and nature is always close by. And, when you want to explore, you’re just 15 minutes from downtown Berkeley Springs and only 2 hours from the DC and Baltimore corridor, making this an ideal weekend retreat now and a peaceful retirement haven later. This home isn’t just a place to live, it’s a place to breathe, to gather, and to enjoy the beauty of the mountains every single day.
