Description

If you're looking for a quiet and updated country retreat with scenic views, that is both convenient for commuting and energy efficient (with recently installed OWNED solar panels), then this is the home for you! Welcome to the best of both worlds with over 2,300 finished square feet on 2+ park-like acres near the charming town of Clear Spring, MD! Panoramic views abound in this serene setting, while being less than 2 miles from interstate 70 and less than 40 miles from Frederick. Enjoy scenic mountain views and watch the sunset from your patio, sip your coffee at the dining room table while watching the sunrise through the double window, and feel the warmth of Southern exposure from your living room bay window. There is plenty of room to relax both indoors and out with up to 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a large finished family room in the basement. Outside there are rock gardens, a grape arbor, a peach and 2 pear fruit trees, a concrete patio, a tree swing, a Purple Martin birdhouse, recently painted outbuildings, and several great sledding slopes for wintertime fun. If a farmette is your dream, there is plenty of room for a garden and electric available for a chicken coop near the fruit trees or maybe you'd prefer to use it for a gazebo and hot tub - the possibilities are endless with this property! And you will never complain about not having storage again...in addition to the oversized attached 2 car garage, there is a double detached garage with additional storage built on, an attic accessible from the attached garage, shelving in the basement storage room, built-in bookcases and a built-in crafting and sewing area in the basement family room. There are too many updates to list them all but the well pump was replaced in 2020; the septic lines, dishwasher, and water heater were replaced in 2021; much of the main level flooring was replaced in 2022; the smoke alarms and washer and dryer were replaced in March, 2023; and most of the main level living area is currently being repainted in April, 2023. You will be amazed at how energy efficient this home is with 29 solar panels that are fully owned, along with recently updated energy efficient lighting and showerheads, and a basement woodstove with ceiling vents that allow the warm air to radiate to the main level, and a Southern exposure that maximizes the sunlight through the front windows and solar panels. The current homeowner purchased the solar panels in November, 2022 and is now reaping the benefits of minimal electric payments and monthly credits for the excess power being generated. The seller has meticulous documentation on the home and its recent updates, including the solar panels! You'll appreciate the special touches like pocket doors in the sunroom and 2nd bedroom, the built-in crafting area, the sturdy wall-mounted bike rack in the detached garage, the freshly mulched gardens ready for your finishing touches, a winter's worth of already split and stacked wood, and a paved driveway with lovely landscaping and hardscaping with room for 8 or more vehicles. If all that this property has to offer isn't enough, you are less than 10 miles from Whitetail Ski and Golf resorts to the north, less than 10 miles to the Rail Trail and Fort Frederick State Park to the west, just 3.5 miles from Dam 5 Potomac River access and several C&O Canal recreation areas, and just a few miles from the Clear Spring community park and carnival grounds as well as the Clear Spring school campus and Public Library. Ernst Country Market is just 1 mile down the road and Walmart and Home Depot are less than 9 miles away. Come see all that this property has to offer! Property just had its annual Terminix pest inspection in May, 2023 and had radon tested and active mitigation system installed in March, 2023.
