Just off the living room, discover a private sanctuary—a library or office—boasting floor-to-ceiling built-in bookshelves.
The heart of the home is the exquisitely upgraded kitchen. Slate-tiled flooring, a vaulted ceiling, and artisanal lighting set the stage for culinary creativity.

A wet bar adds a touch of sophistication, perfect for hosting friends and family.
Adjacent to the kitchen, the formal dining room offers a refined space for memorable meals, while the step-down family room invites you to relax amid tall windows and views of the private backyard. Sliding doors lead to an expansive deck, where stairs connect the upper and lower outdoor living areas.
The main level also features a convenient bedroom, a full bath with laundry, and easy access to the outdoors. Upstairs, two sunlit bedrooms and a spacious full bath with abundant windows provide peaceful retreats. A fully floored attic offers exceptional storage potential.
The walk-out basement is a versatile space with a sink and shelving, opening onto a custom brick patio. A serene water feature and a shaded space beneath the deck offer both a peaceful retreat and practical storage for bikes, kayaks, and tools, blending functionality with charm.
Venture through the thoughtfully landscaped backyard to discover the delightful two-level guest cottage. With its own charm and functionality, this space is perfect for visitors, a home office, or a creative studio.
Beyond the property, immerse yourself in the vibrant lifestyle of Shepherdstown. Walk to local cafes, restaurants, and artisan shops, or take in a cultural event at Shepherd University. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the proximity to the C&O Canal, Potomac River, and nearby hiking and biking trails.
This rare opportunity combines small-town warmth with a refined lifestyle, making this home not just a place to live but a place to thrive. Welcome to your Shepherdstown haven.
