Property Description
Opportunities like this do not come on the market too often. Nestled among mature trees with some open space, the winding stone driveway leads you to the top of a knoll, where this A-framed rustic home is perfectly perched, taking advantage of this private 5-acre home site that includes an active stream, plus a natural spring. The spring called Crystal Fount, was one of Emmitsburg’s first water sources and was part of Crystal Fountain Farms. A rugged stone, wood-burning fireplace on the main level is in the Gathering Room, with its hand-pegged style hardwood floors, stained wood beam, two large bookshelves with cabinets below and two sliding glass doors that open to a spacious deck. The kitchen features solid oak cabinet doors, complimented by the granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances, and tile flooring. A large countertop provides a practical serving area between the kitchen and dining area. The family room is 30′ x 11′, has 10 windows, 2 exterior doors and 3 skylights with stained knotty pine bead board paneling below the chair rail and on the ceiling, giving this area a rustic feeling. Upstairs, the owner’s bedroom has an impressive, vaulted ceiling, a large walk-in closet and a private balcony overlooking the front yard. The hall bathroom has new LVP flooring, new vanity, a cast-iron tub with large porcelain tiles, vaulted ceiling, and skylight. Two other cozy bedrooms, both with vaulted ceilings, complete this area. The lower level has a finished den that walks out on grade, plus a wood-burning stove that can provide an alternative heat source. A large laundry and utility room complete this level. The owner has also installed a brand-new Heat Pump. This A-framed home has an attractive & durable metal roof, a spacious 26′ x 12′ deck and two private balconies where you can enjoy pleasant views of your own retreat. This home also includes a garage and carport that both measure 31′ x 11′-6, plus a storage shed. The location is ideal as it is close to quaint Emmitsburg and Mount St. Mary’s University. Plus, Rt. 15 is only 1.5 miles away, providing a convenient drive to Historic Downtown Frederick.
