Outdoor living is exceptional with plenty of off-street parking (a rarity in Harpers Ferry) and a detached oversized one-car garage for additional storage or hobby space. Enjoy peaceful outdoor spaces and the convenience of being within walking distance to historic downtown Harpers Ferry, the National Park, shops, restaurants, hiking trails, and the rivers.
