Idyllic Farmette Just Outside Shepherdstown! Escape to 11.39 acres of peaceful country living just minutes from historic Shepherdstown. This beautifully updated farmhouse blends modern comforts with charm, featuring new siding and a new roof.

Inside, you'll find 3 bedrooms, an office, and 2 full baths. The spacious kitchen is designed for both function and style, featuring updated countertops, a gas stove, and a large island with an additional prep sink. The light-filled dining room is perfect for gatherings, while the family room, complete with a wood-burning stove and lovely views, creates a warm and inviting space.

Multiple outdoor areas, including a rear deck off the family room, a side deck off the office, and an upper-level balcony, provide serene spots to relax.

There are also three fenced gardens, a chicken coop with a run, and a variety of fruit trees and berry bushes, including pears, apples, peaches, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, and lush Concord grape vines. The landscape bursts with seasonal color thanks to an array of perennials, including Russian Sage, Pearly Everlasting, Feverfew, Nigella, Echinacea, Sedum, Amaryllis Belladonna, Bleeding Heart, Hosta, Bupleurum, Yarrow, Knockout Roses, Catmint, and Dianthus.
