About This Home

Escape to peace and privacy in this beautifully renovated home set on a scenic 68-acre farm—just minutes from the conveniences of Dunkirk. Enjoy an easy commute to Joint Base Andrews, Washington, DC, Northern Virginia, and Annapolis, then come home to the tranquility of this secluded setting. Inside, the home offers generous living and entertaining space, including a formal living room and dining room. The brand-new kitchen features modern finishes and flows seamlessly into a cozy family room and bright breakfast nook overlooking the farm. A convenient rear mudroom adds everyday functionality. The flexible layout includes two bedrooms and a full bath on each of the first and second floors—ideal for multi-generational living or added privacy—plus a half bath in the basement. The unfinished basement and oversized garage/workshop provide excellent space for storage, hobbies, or creative pursuits.
