The 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bath home has a wrap around porch, there is also a stone spring house, 2 car detached garage, huge shed/workshop with electricity, Maryland bank barn, plus two spring fed stocked ponds on 10 acres. The home features an incredible gourmet chefs kitchen! From the copper farmhouse sink, granite counters, stainless steel appliances, ceramic tile floors, gorgeous cherry cabinetry, wet bar/butler pantry, Brazilian wood island, and breakfast bar. It is a great cooking and gathering place! There is also a main floor Owners Suite with a sitting area, an updated full bath and its own private entrance with access to a mud room. There is a full laundry and a powder room to complete the first floor. The new addition also has a separate door where one can step out into your own private patio overlooking the ponds. Step upstairs to find 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. The secondary owner suite has a separate enclosed porch- that is perfect for an office or sitting area. The additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath that features exposed stone from the chimney. Each of the upstairs bedrooms have a large closet for an abundance of storage space. A reading nook and a second full laundry room complete the upstairs. The barn is made of huge chestnut logs, adze cut and mortise and tenon joined, it has only been used for storage in recent years, but could be a wonderful wedding venue someday. There is currently a chicken coop and fenced chicken yard as the owner keeps chickens. The stand-alone workshop has two double garage doors, cement floor, and electricity. There is also a cinder block oversized two car detached garage. The stone spring house is a lovely feature on the property, incredibly picturesque. There is a mini bridge to cross the spring, which water feeds ponds year-round. The ponds are up to 20 feet deep and are home to koi, largemouth bass, bluegills, countless turtles, and water birds who nest on the small island. A few apple trees, a pear tree, and figs trees complete the bucolic setting. Great location, right off of Route 15 and just 15 minutes to downtown Frederick, multiple shopping centers and Fort Detrick, plus a short drive to Catoctin Mountain Park and Cunningham Falls State Park. And DC and Baltimore are just under an hour away. This home and surrounding property really is amazing. If you are looking for an investment opportunity, the home was successful in the past as an AirBnB- the opportunities really are endless! Do not wait, schedule your private showing today!
