Colonial, Log Home

Just outside the town limits of Boonsboro lies a beautifully preserved and updated farmhouse, originally built in 1873. It is surrounded by family homes and working farms. This inviting home blends historic character with modern comfort, offering a peaceful country setting without sacrificing convenience. The home features three bedrooms, one full bathroom and one half bathroom. A renovation in 2020 brought important updates while preserving the home's timeless charm, starting from the beautiful front porch! There are exposed log walls, restored hardwood floors, new kitchen and baths, new thermopane windows and stairway to hidden attic hideaway! Heating and cooling are handled by efficient HVAC mini-split systems that provide comfort throughout the year. Bringing the outside in, there are side covered porches on the main and upper level! In addition to this, there is a walk up unfinished attic and a partial cellar. As you can imagine, the ceilings are not typical for today’s standards but very typical of an 1873 house; they are meant to keep the heat and cooling air comfortable. While the inside of this home is special, there is nothing like what awaits you outside. 1.5 acres of land to do with what you wish, including a fully restored barn with one stall, feed/tack room and hay loft, large chicken coop, a gardening shed, and a deck. The full front porch and double-level covered side porches offer additional space for relaxing or entertaining, with views of the surrounding landscape. The property is served by a private well and septic system. Just 15 minutes from the MARC train and easy access to Frederick, DC and Baltimore. A variety of local attractions are nearby, including the Appalachian Trail, the National Road, Washington Monument State Park, South Mountain and Antietam National Battlefields. The C&O Canal Towpath and Harpers Ferry Historical Park are located 25 minutes away. This home offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of the past, updated for modern living, in a serene and scenic setting just a short drive from town.
