Custom built 4 bedroom, 3.5 bath brick rancher located on more than 2.5 acres of land, backing to trees, outside of Shepherdstown. When you step onto the front porch you will see this home speaks of craftsmanship and care in both the construction and the design. Fully equipped with Andersen windows, 36 solar panels with back-up battery, and a fully finished basement, this home would justify all the superlatives. The expansive primary suite with sitting area overlooks the rear deck, the gardens, and boasts a luxurious en suite bath. The living room is flanked with multiple glass doors to bring in light and access the deck, the gardens, and the vista. Stained glass details shine down, and the vaulted ceiling leads the eye to the gleaning enamel cast iron wood stove. The updated eat-in kitchen likewise gleams with quality–solid wood cabinets, high-end stainless-steel appliances, sleek stone counters and opens to a breakfast room with a broad bow window. There is a separate formal dining room as well. Past the kitchen, is the powder room and the convenient laundry room. Beyond that are two spacious, light-filled bedrooms that face the hall bathroom. Towards the garage, the stairs lead down to the finished basement with a spacious family or TV room, and a full bedroom suite with an attached full bath, separate exterior access and adjoining sitting room. The huge garage houses three full bays, additional work or gardening space, utility sink and doors to access both the front and back yards. There is a shed at the end of the garden and exterior motion activated lights on the property. *** Architectural shingle roof replaced in 2019 and has a 30-year transferrable warranty. Close to all the cultural amenities of Shepherdstown, this home is a beautiful sanctuary in the country.
