    What's special

    HUGE PRICE REDUCTION! BONUS: Legal Rental Income Unit is totally separately metered and should be additionally approved soon for short-term (i.e. Airbnb) rentals. GORGEOUS HOME, LUSCIOUS GARDENS & GREAT RENTAL INCOME! This exquisite home is perfect for comfortable living and elegant entertaining with spacious high-ceilinged rooms and beautifully landscaped garden. Located in historic Shepherdstown, it’s within two blocks to restaurants, music & shops, and just blocks away from boating on the Potomac River or bicycling on the C&O Canal. The house with its pre-Civil War charm has been renovated with the modern conveniences of central air, closet space, off street parking, and upgraded bathrooms and kitchen. It even has a powder room on the ground floor, and features hardwood floors, fireplaces, skylights, washer/dryers on two levels, and window treatments, chandeliers & art lighting that convey. It’s been made handicap accessible with an outside lift, stair railing, and bath bars. The house has four bedrooms, three full baths, and two half baths. Both the side and back garden are fully fenced. There are two Amish sheds, for storage, flagstone walkway with lighting, a Redstone patio and fountain, raised garden bed, and in-ground compost. The garden was designed with the four seasons in mind with its weeping cherry trees, dogwoods, hydrangeas, a magnificent tulip magnolia, bluebells, and lily of the valley – blooming yellow, then pink, then blue, and finally shades of white & green in the summer. The garden also incorporates a clover patch and butterfly bushes for the pollinators. This property receives two tax bills, one is for the lower-level rental unit.
