16940 Snyders Landing Rd, Sharpsburg, MD 21782

This classic 1930s home, situated above the C&O Canal and Potomac on 4.5 open and wooded acres, has been thoughtfully updated and maintained by the same family for over two decades. Newer features include a modern, multi-zone mini-split system for cooling and heating, updated kitchen, modern bathroom fixtures, beautiful landscaping, boiler-driven radiant heating, supplemental gas heat in living room fireplace (propane), enhanced basement storage and more. The large screened-in porch on the front, screened rear entry with gardener’s shed, terraced sun deck, carpentry built-ins, stone and brick hearth fireplace, and other detailed woodwork complete the home’s coziness. The spacious, top-level bedroom and full bath is kept comfortable year-round by mini-split (cooling / heating), radiant heat, and variable ceiling fan, and includes generous closet space and attic storage. The main level, with open, eat-in kitchen and large living room, also offers a private den / guest room with en-suite powder room / laundry. The basement easily accommodates workspace and storage of tools, recreational supplies, seasonal items and other equipment, and ready access to covered space beneath the front porch. Acreage to the side and rear, which is mostly wooded, includes a rustic cow shed – the perfect place to store watercraft or large machinery. Snyder’s boat landing, for which the road is named, and the adjoining C&O Canal National Park offer anglers, kayakers, hikers and cyclists abundant recreational opportunities. All that historic Sharpsburg has to offer is just two miles down the road, and Shepherdstown and Shepherd University are within five. Options for exploring cultural enrichment, recreational activities, shopping, dining and more are bountiful.
