3430 Roy Shafer Rd, Middletown, MD 21769

Nestled on an exceptionally quiet valley road between Middletown and Jefferson, this charming three-bedroom, one-bath home sits on 4.25 acres and blends historic character with modern efficiency. Just minutes from Frederick, it offers a peaceful country setting without giving up convenience. Inside, you’ll find granite countertops, mostly hardwood floors, and an updated bathroom. Comfort is year-round with a high-efficiency mini-split system installed in 2023. Major upgrades include a new engineered shingle roof (2024, 25-year warranty), a freestanding 25-panel solar array installed in late 2024 (owned outright, 25-year warranty), and a high-performance insulated siding system (2025). The solar array is fully owned, so buyers benefit from reduced utility costs and SREC income (produces around $2,700 yearly) with no financing to assume. Outside, 1.5 acres are enclosed with board fencing, lined with fruit trees and lit with solar post-cap lights, while the property stretches back to a creek for added privacy and space. The sale is as-is. Termite evidence was professionally treated, and while the back acreage is in FEMA’s flood zone, the house itself is not and no flood insurance was required by the mortgage lender. High-speed Xfinity internet is available.
