Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind home where rustic character, craftsmanship, and unexpected architectural details come together to create a private retreat in the historic Sharpsburg countryside. From the moment you arrive, the home stands apart with its EIFS (synthetic stucco) exterior, stone accents, expansive decks, mature landscaping, and multiple outdoor living spaces. A remarkable stone patio and garden area features extensive stonework, winding steps, retaining walls, and a cascading water feature—creating an enchanting setting for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, natural materials and architectural details give the home warmth and personality. Cypress flooring highlights the living room and primary bedroom, while hickory flooring extends throughout much of the second level. Rustic barn-wood flooring, exposed beams, textured walls, stone accents, and natural wood elements create a distinctive lodge-inspired atmosphere. The kitchen features hickory cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island, Bosch dishwasher, KitchenAid range with professional-style hood, abundant storage, vaulted ceilings, and clerestory windows. Throughout the home, unique details include a wrought-iron and hardwood spiral staircase, open-tread staircase, custom built-ins, exposed timbers, extensive tile work, and thoughtfully designed multi-level living spaces. Perhaps the home's most memorable feature is the indoor stone pond and water garden, bringing the outdoors in and reinforcing the property's peaceful, organic character. Two additional second-story bonus rooms provide flexible space for home offices, creative studios, hobby rooms, quiet retreats, or additional storage—allowing the home to easily adapt to a variety of needs. Outside, multiple decks, patios, covered areas, stone terraces, mature trees, and established landscaping offer countless places to gather and unwind. The setting is equally special. Located near the Potomac River, C&O Canal towpath, Antietam National Battlefield, and historic Shepherdstown and Harpers Ferry, the property offers easy access to hiking, biking, kayaking, fishing, wineries, farms, restaurants, and the natural beauty of the Potomac and Shenandoah valleys. This is anything but a cookie-cutter home—it is a property for the buyer who values craftsmanship, natural materials, interesting architecture, privacy, and a home with genuine personality.
